    Hi Folks,

    Are there free plugins for Modx and screencasts on how to integrate the plugin into Modx ?
    I checked out FoxyCart and they are charging quite a bit per month. Others require licenses.
    I’m looking for a simple free solution that captures credit card transactions with the usual major credit card companies and paypal.
    Is there one out there ?

    Thanks

    Anyone ?

          Treasure Chest uses paypal for payments. It does work but will probably need a bit of hacking around to suite your needs.

            And there’s JCart, which is an AJAX cart that includes a PayPal payment option. You could modify the AJAX php processor to store data in the database or send email or whatever you wanted to do.

              I’ll try to create my own e-shop on that plugin...

                Although few people know it, TreasureChest make uses of Ajax since its first version (1.0). see: www.treasurechestcart.com

                Not free but cheap, TreasureChest 1.2, let you have the cart view directly inserted into the web pages. These are updated by Ajax. If you use product options, they’re remembered from page to page. Moreover, TreasureChest 1.2 solved several problems due to the caching of returned carts. Also, the cart views and the after-payment voucher can now be very detailed when necessary.

                Demo product page: www.altipoint.ch/demo_product
                Demo catalog page: www.altipoint.ch/demo_catalogue
                Main information page: www.altipoint.ch/treasurechest

                Calling PayPal can be done from both the in-page embedded cart view or from the Thickbox. For those who doesn’t like the additional Thickbox view, it would be easy to remove it and only use the embedded cart view. You must wait a few seconds before the PayPal login page displays.

                I’m currently writing a book about TreasureChest, explaining in detail how to install it, use it and combine it with other components like MaxiGallery.
                The book will be available in French and in English.
                Chat support will also be available soon.

                  Code from this thread ("PHP Template for IPN - Good Starting Point")
                    https://www.x.com/thread/30664
                  

                  might be helpful. It doesn’t handle the front-end side of things but instead is an IPN listener which stores and processes IPN messages from PayPal.

                  Combined with you own PayPal buttons and code such as this
                  http://www.ngcoders.com/php/selling-digital-goods-with-paypal-ipn-and-php/comment-page-5#comments
                  

                  (also noted here :
                  https://www.x.com/message/134742?tstart=0
                  
                  )

                  one can provide digital downloads with Paypal as the payment gateway. Conceivably, any shopping cart (as opposed to button code) that can get the order info up to Paypal would work with this, though I haven’t played with that.
