Ecommerce Integration

Quick 'n Easy Web Builder has built-in support for several third party shopping cart checkouts and/or payment providers:
• Ecwid
• Stripe
• Snipcart
• Paddle
• PayPal
• Gumroad
• WebMoney
• Vibracart Pro

For most ecommerce solutions (with exception of PayPal) you will first need to setup the product in the dashboard of the shop.
This tutorial assumes that you have already done this.

Each shopping cart has different features and configuration options. You will need to research which one works best for you.
For some shops you only need to enter the Product ID, while for others you may also need to enter the price and currency.

In order for the Ecommerce events to work, you first will need to set the store ID, API key or account name in the global ecommerce configuration: Preferences -> Ecommerce. You only need to enter the account details for the shop(s) you are using in your website.

The checkout options are available in the events section. This means that any image, button, text or menu item that supports events can be turned into a checkout button for the supported Payment gateways.

There is also a dedicated 'Ecommerce' button, so you can quickly add ecommerce functionality to a button, image, shape, etc.
