I am setting up an ecommerce site that will offer written product creation, video content creation and audio content creation. I need to install a gallery for my video and photography models (I have just over 100 at present) so my first question is will K2 handle a full gallery along the lines of being searchable by skills, model types, genders (presumably set up as tags) etc? I would like to do a "product" page or gallery page for each model individually and have the "gallery" view link to the model's gallery page so guests can see video, pics and hear audio if it is available. Is there an MP3 player I can use for K2 so that I can post a similar "gallery" with just audio content? Which brings me to my question about billing:Is it necessary to include VirtueMart (my preferred method until I discovered K2) or does K2 have some type of built in payment gateway? I can use strictly paypal if I have to but it would be nice to have other options available as well. Pardon the "noob" questions but this is day one with K2 so I will be looking around the documentation as I await a response as well. The site is not live yet but I would like to get it up and running as quickly as possible. I can survive with nothing more than I am doing right now but that is all. This site has a lot more potential and I have some really strong talent behind it ... but it remains up to me to get the site up and running! Thanks!

Hi,

There's no existing integrated payment solution for k2 for the moment.

I'm working on a paypal solution for K2 but it's still an alpha version.

You can try to plug K2 with virtuemart but Virtuemart is not as extensible as K2 so good luck !

If need be, I can just add buy now buttons with paypal for the time being. If everything goes according to plan, I may be able to hire some real programmers soon and maybe I can start making actual contributions.

Thanks!

Olivier, you better tell me when that paypal solution needs testing!! ;)

I have VM installed, but not started setting up, but the downside is that as there is not bridge between you, you would have to have store side in VM and remaining store in K2.

Therefore, I would much prefer if we can to get K2 to cover some e-commerce solution as that is a big potential market that we are missing.

Tersting? Count me in! Basically what I am looking for is a simple ecommerce store ... but the difference is that it would be searchable by tags based on gender, language, all tags that might just as easily be used in many ecommerce sites elsewhere ... digital product, physical product, report, ebook etc.

Big market? Create an ecommerce solution with an affiliate program attached or built in and different payment gateways ... mega big market IMHO.

Still, nice to see an active and supportive forum for a product. I laud your devotion and greatly appreciate your concern, cooperation and assistance!

Thanks!
