So Lost on Shop App ...
So, I'm drawing a complete blank on what to do next. I've scoured the docs and google and the information (to my n00bie eyes at least) seem vague.
Here's the issue:
1) Products and all options are in the system 2) I can add products to the cart 3) I can view the cart and proceed to start the checkout process, next 4) I can choose to log in as a returning customer or continue as guest, next 5) I can input and save all the addresses and view them all ... and then kaput ... I'm stuck
I see all my addresses listed, that's great, but what next? How do I move on to ask for a shipping provider? and then move from there to the payment gateway?
I have shipping entered into the system and I plan to use PayPal Express (already got my testing keys and what not from Sandbox)
I know the answer is probably gonna be simple, but I'm totally missing it.
You can display the shipping method form with
perch_shop_shipping_method_form()
. Does that help?yes ... that does ... so, now I have products in the cart, customer logged in, addresses set, and shipping selected ...
my next thought was then to send the customer to a page where I call the payment gateway for pay-pal
DOMAIN is defined in a functions.php and the PayPal stuff is defined in the perch/config/shop.php per the docs.
but nothing shows after I call perch_shop_checkout() from above. All other php scripts after it fail like an exit() was called or something.
debug says nothing ...
You need to follow the "Payment flow" section here: https://docs.grabaperch.com/addons/shop/gateways/paypal-express/
right ... that was a page I was referencing ...
I have the settings completed (except the live credentials)
I've changed the credentials, but I have the correct ones in the system
Obviously, I've completed all the PayPal steps to receive said credentials
And when I call:
nothing appears and as I mentioned above, all php scripts after it seem to exit();
and nothing seems wrong in the debug area ... I don't know what I'm missing.
Have you checked your error log?
I have a self signed Mac ssl certificate ... is that the issue?
I'm working on my Mac server at home ...
I think you'll need to make sure your SSL implementation is up to date. This is nothing to do with the HTTPS configuration of your site.
I'll log this as solved ... you answered all the questions of my original post and the HTTPS / SSL cert issue is an entirely different problem :)
PayPal Express works on the live server, just not on my home-brew server ... so it has more to do with my settings than perch.
Thanks for all the help getting me set with the over-all flow of Perch shop! Love the software ... steep learning curve though. Totally worth it in the end!
