mattprestashop Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) Prestashop 1.7 - On the website they don't say almost all modules are not updated yet for the 1.7. And they don't say Paypal is not available. PAYPAL!!! ITS THE MINIMUM FOR A SHOPPING WEBSITE NO!?? JEEEZZZ!!!! WHAT A FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm currently stuck! I made a clean install (removing the old version) of prestashop. I installed 1.7. The first thing I looked to install was the PayPal module.. After trying to search manually or with PayPal keywords in the back office module page, it seems to have no PayPal module in 1.7.. ???!!!???And there is only 2 payment method available.. !??! I need details about that. Ii i also read 1.7 was Beta. I didn't know that.. Is the shop workable for a business or it is full of bugs?Grr..

mattprestashop Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 202ecommerce is the PayPal Partner for PrestaShop. Unfortunately they have already earned their money, so they are nowhere in a hurry to make the module compatible with PS1.7. The module for 1.6 and lower is also a big mess at the moment. We had to tinker with it every single week, otherwise the payment option just disappears, the module gives everyone free shipping, rounding errors or the module fails to contact the PayPal server. A.k.a. the PayPal module is a mess at the moment! It's evident that PrestaShop is unable to put these guys under enough pressure to release a PS1.7 module on time, so we should expect to have a hard time accepting payments with PayPal now and in the future Thanks for the reply. Well.. how i'am suppose to accept payments without PayPal? I mean it's the minimum. What are the options for me to accept credit card and all the things PayPal accept..

bellini13 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I just released my updated Braintree module which adds support for PS v1.7. However its a paid module on the addons store, but it does allow you to collect card and paypal using Braintree. You can also search for other paypal modules, which likely are not free, but trust me, the money you spend on a working and supported module, will pay off over time.

I'm not afraid to pay for a module if he worth it. But without trying it before pay it.. no. But my point is: Prestashop is for shopping website.. Before I had complete payment modules for everything. I can't imagine a shopping platform.. without payment module. Is it me or it makes no sense no? Is 1.7 will have modules for credit card or for every most common payments or not? I don't want to have to go with Shopify.. because right now.. that's what it will happen. If 1.7 cannot offer the minimum payment modules.. it's not gonna be beautiful for the Prestashop future.. that's what I feel, unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattprestashop Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) @bellini13 I just saw you have a sandbox on your website. I will try Braintree buddy. @mdekker could you please answer my questions above please Edited December 4, 2016 by mattprestashop (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattprestashop Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) is there a specific question you are waiting on? Yes. Thanks for asking Sorry if i'm not clear. English isn't my primary language! Well, first I would like your email to talk about Braintree in case I have some questions in the future (maybe send me a pm). I will test the sandbox this weekend. For PS 1.7, I just don't get it. Actually when I go in the payment category for modules, they are no free payment methods. No CC, No PayPal, nothing. Can someone explain me who in PS Team decided to release a PS without payment modules ?? What's the idea? The most stupid idea I ever saw. I really wish someone to give me true explanations on that. From there.. with no free payment modules available, how can I test the 1.7 before fully use it?

bellini13 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Feel free to contact me directly from my website. I still need to get a 1.7 demo store created, but could do that if you would like to test it out I won't even attempt to try to understand or explain decisions that Prestashop make. I don't even know who sets the direction and priority, or what kind of feedback they accept for setting direction or priority. The reason you don't see many payment modules, is likely due to the fact that they've changed how payment modules are created, and how they interact with the checkout process. All payment modules need to be redesigned, but an actual working version of Prestashop is needed before that can happen. It will over time. I would not rush into using v1.7. If you want to play with it, or test it, thats fine. But don't rely on it being usable and stable for quite some time. There is absolutely nothing in v1.7 that will make a merchants life easier, that can't be found in PS v1.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you know, look and feel for buyers is very important. I looked at your sandbox, looks nicely done. I have been developer too few years ago for about 15 years, I have some bases . As said, the side I would like to see is the checkout step. What the buyers will feel once there using your module. I'm currently developing my product, and I'm in the final steps. I'm planning to sell it this spring. Could be interesting to test you module before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellini13 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Ok, I have created a PS v1.7.0.2 demo store and installed my Braintree module on it for the time being https://demo7.bellini-services.com/bt/ps1702/ The look and feel of the payment module really has not changed too much. It was just refactored to fit into the new payment module checkout process. The module is currently configured to use dedicated page mode, which means you select the payment option first, and then complete payment on a dedicated page. The module can also be configured to use inline mode, which means the payment form is presented on the payment selection page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to work very well and fast. I will strongly consider your module when my product ready. Thank you to offer this module. Your faster than PS Team to update a PRIMARY MODULE. That's all in your honour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
