[Resolved] Ecommerce Capabilities

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The customer wanted to know if Toolset could be used to create an online shop that allows customers to buy products directly from the pages created with the plugin.

Solution:

We explained that while Toolset can handle basic e-commerce features such as creating product listings and a simple checkout form, it does not support advanced functionalities like payment processing, tax calculations, and order management on its own. For a fully-featured online shop, it is recommended to integrate Toolset with WooCommerce, which provides all necessary e-commerce capabilities. We provided resources for creating custom WooCommerce sites with Toolset to guide the customer in building their desired online shop.

Hi, We use your Toolset to create product listings and detail pages for our products and wondered if your plugin can be used to create an online shop to allow customers to buy the products from the pages created with your plugin?

Hi Lloyd,

With Toolset, you'd be able to create the basic features of an e-commerce such as a simple checkout form for example. However, for more advanced e-commerce features like payment processing, tax calculations, and order management, Toolset alone won't cover those needs. Implementing these features would require custom code.

That said, Toolset is compatible with WooCommerce, which can handle all those additional e-commerce functionalities. By integrating WooCommerce with Toolset, you can create a fully-featured online shop, complete with all the necessary features.

Here are some resources that might help you:

Please let us know if you have any other questions or need further assistance!

Best regards,
