Site Update: Catalog
Fri, 28 Jan 2011
I added a catalog view to display only the paintings that are for sale. This is a complement to the categorical view, which is less store-oriented and shows all paintings, sold or unsold. Also tweeked the shipping so that all prices include free shipping in the Europrean Union. Shipping to the US and Canada is also available at reasonable rates between $50 and $150 depending on the size of the work. Each work has shipping cost to the US programmed into it, and will be added to the total price upon checkout.
I'm really happy with the Drupal Ubercart solution so far. Why? Because not only does it function as well as any other e-commerce solution I've worked with, but I was able to very simply set my artwork data objects to be products in the store and Ubercart handled it fabulously and with no integration stress whatsoever. In other words, it was not necessary to recreate all these artworks as products within the store.
