Re: Is there a good GWT/JS based ecommerce solution?

This isn't tough, if you're restricted to paypal.

You'll need a server that interacts with the PayPal API. Your choice there is what type of PayPal account.

If you want a multi-jurisdiction approach, you're better off aligning your platform with a merchant account provider. Many of the advanced providers will handle steps 3 & 4 for you. Step 5 (and the possible payment failure) are triggered via notifications to a url you register when provisioning the service.

That leaves you with steps 1 & 2 for pre-purchase. Maybe you can avoid implementing storefront/shopping cart and do a sales page for step 1 that loops with step 2 to provide the customer an opportunity to review/alter the tickets before proceeding to step 3.

Hey there!

I am building a GWT based web platform for a client. With a Java/MySQL backend.

My client now wants to add a shopping functionality to the page, since his intention is to sell various kinds of tickets to his customers. And well, this does not seem easy since the whole app is written from scratch without any CMS or what so ever. So we are not able to just integrate a common webshop solution like Magento or something similar.

The thing is, that it is very risky and time consuming to implement our own check out system. We are based in Germany so there are about 100 gazillions of regulations that need to be respected. So best thing would be if we could integrate something that already exists and can live within a single page app.

So what I basically need is a good java based ecommerce backend system which adapts to any front end, like our GWT/JS ecosystem. Shopping Cart widget etc. would be a huge plus.

It´s a little bit hard to describe my requirements since I am not even 100% sure what we really need.

User workflow is very simple:

1. user selects tickets and quantities
2. tickets will be placed into shopping cart
3. user clicks on checkout and fills in all informations that are needed
4. he or she gets redirected to PayPal
5. after the payment succeeded the user will receive a generated ticket via email

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks a lot,

Michael
