Webshop integration

Liferay Legend Beiträge: 1313 Beitrittsdatum: 03.10.06 Neueste Beiträge
Hi all,

A customer of ours is not satisfied with the LR shopping functionality.

Does anyone have any experience and/or maybe a running example of some third party webshop.

Thanks

Necessary functionality;
Multilungual
Portal Users coupling
Seperated Portlets;
-Catalog
-Featured Products
-Shoppingcart / ShoppingBasket(persistant summary)
-Order
-OrderHistory
-Admin

I evaluated KonaKart wich addresses the multilingual wish, but is AFAIK closed source to make the other wishes happening

Hi, we, at www.esolutions.ro have developed an E-commerce solution that has all the above mentioned features
( Multilungual
Portal Users coupling
Seperated Portlets;
-Catalog
-Featured Products
-Shoppingcart / ShoppingBasket(persistant summary)
-Order
-OrderHistory
-Admin
) and many more.

The one exception is that we decoupled the users (since all our customers did not need / want this).
Other notable features:
- import from OSCommerce
~ 30 separate portlets that comunicates with each other
~ CSS based, integrates well in custom themes

At the moment we are preparing 2 public deployments. The licence is not yet set.

When the website will be up, I'll post again on this subject, maybe in a separate thread.
Anyone interested, please drop a mail: marian.simpetru [at] esolutions.ro

Good luck with that. So far, I've not seen anything. The single biggest issue I see with Liferay's shopping cart is that it totally lacks the ability to easily set up different payment methods.

It should at an absolute barboned minimum support -

Authorize.net
Payflow Pro
PayPal
Google Check Out


ZenCart, which is one of the better open source PHP based shopping carts, supports 126 different payment gateways. The full list is here. Why? Because 99.9999% of the population have no idea how to write a payment module.

Hi everybody,

Here are some links:

http://www.reef.ro/magazin-online
http://www.teledigital.ro/

Liferay based,
Friendly URL, distinct portlets for different functionalities (allows you to easily change themes and position in layout), multiple images for products etc

-- almost all features of OSCommerce are ported
-- www.reef.ro / www.teledigital.ro shops where migrated from OSCommerce

Will you find it interesting to be an open source project?
regards,

Marian

Hi Marian,

This looks very,very promising;

Is there a test server where we could checkout the backend maintenance portlets ?

What does Liferay based mean? Liferay plugin,extension or jsr168/286?
What technologies are used?

And oh yes we are still looking for a OpenSource alternative to our own webshops in which we could participate.

So please share as much as you are willing.

Thanks and greetings,

Corné

Hi Corne,

In short the shop application is created using the following:

* JSR 168 portlets
* Struts & Spring
* Servlet filter mapping for FURL
* Caching (FURL resolution)
* EHCache (sql results) - admin operations resets portions of cache
* Java mail
* Apache + modjk with images served by Apache (visible performance improvement against servlet)

For a different setup one can use an image servlet instead of apache for serving images.

Functionality is splitted in different portlets, making easy to implement (for example) a different payment processing module as a distinct portlet.

Admin side is integrated with JasperReports (only a few reports made, as proof of concept)
Others nice features such as bulk price edit or bulk status update.

Portlets support full i18N but the shop on www.reef.ro is configured only for romanian. Also multi currency support.
Some portlets have different view flavors, admin can configure them to use a particular output view (e.g. view in widget mode - to be used as banners).

To see what I mean, visit the front page of www.acvariu.ro . You'll see a box with two portlets from reef.ro (random product / discounted-promo product). Those are rendered using full portlet mode ('share this' from liferay portlet preference) and using 'widget mode on' to have links in _blank target.

I'm considering setting up an demo server.

We are planning to improve the shop application with the following functionalities:
* FURL for pagers
* SEO - contextual page TITLE generation. Someone said in a blog that Liferay offers such API?! Any clues?
* Custom atributes (to be used for product comparison, filters etc.)
* Administrator features improvements
* Add relevant reports
* Tool for updating price or other attributes from external sources (such as CSV or XML)

We also created some goodies (which can be used outside of shop also):
* Image gallery portlet suite (multiple views using different javascripts, admin portlets). You can share a gallery between virtual hosts or keep-it only for a specific domain
* Image slideshow portlet, carousel

Any feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Here is a working demo shop:
http://demo-shop.esolutions.ro/magazin-online

It is a slightly modified copy of a production website.

New features:

* Custom TITLE in product description page (this is a single liferay page, and normally you will have the value introduced by portal admin for that page, google complains about this emoticon ).
* Generated Meta Keywords,
* Generated Meta Description for each Friendly URL the product description page has.
(will follow Meta& title for other FURLs in shop)

* Products can have several documents attached (such as user manuals for product and so on)
* Products price can be updated from a excel file (excel file upload)

TO DO:
Generate custom sitemap.xml to be submited to google..

Regards,

Marian

The KonaKart store front application and modules (shipping, payment, discount etc.) are all open source. The eCommerce engines are closed source.

You can see a neat live example here.

Maybe he could assist you with some of your problems.

At least i can tell you that in all solutions i know users are not able to creat a personal product.

Maybe Magento (or Intershop) has solutions to this.

There was rumor on someone having a Magento/Liferay solution.

I will ask someone in our organisation for Elastic Path if you wish

Well the age of this post sure does exhibit the need for a solid eCom integration into Liferay! emoticon

I work at Broadleaf Commerce - www.broadleafcommerce.com - an enterprise open source eCommerce solution which currently runs Pep Boys, Waste Management, The Container Store, and many others.

We have built a tight integration into Liferay through catalog, cart and checkout portlets which are all tied through Spring security and authentication.

Check us out and please do let me know if you have an immediate client need - would be happy to discuss!

I haven't been able to do the Blog Post about Google Checkout using Web Content yet. I'm going to make the structure more useful where a person can include as many number of attributes for each product. That information could be selected as a radio or select drop down list. Then I will also add it so that size could effect the cost of the product. Let me know your thoughts about this topic.


You would get the worldest largest beer if you could include subscriptions for these items, have them tied to a custom form and have them create users upon purchase....
