How to And a « add to cart button » and build a Shop in Blocs?

Hello
Is it possible to create an “add to cart” button like on many boutique sites, so that people can buy directly from my site (it’s a simple site where I’ve created a “boutique” page with my few photos for sale), directly from Blocs?

thank you for your answers

Welcome to the forum @Philmprod24,

You can use the interactions settings to add e-commerce options.

There is also the Accounts > E-commerce in the project settings

Here is that original feature in action from the Blocs 4.1 video.

There’s no PayPal ?

In the meantime I’d kept looking, but I came across an external possibility. (I don’t know if it’s more practical) with MAMP and php by creating a database.

You can choose PayPal as a payment method. Paypal does not provide a shopping cart, that’s what Ecwid, Paddle etc. do though.

@Norm would need to discuss and address that ?

He did talk previously 4 years ago* about PayPal https://forum.blocsapp.com/t/blocs-v4-1-e-commerce/12715/18

You can in the meantime use PayPal’s approach and integrate into Blocs as needed.

@Norm maybe time* to reloook at better Blocs GUI integration with Paypal ? :thinking:

Your pay pall account will creat a PayPal link button you fill in the details on the PayPal site it generated the code for the item and you paste this into a code brick on the page and it works great I have pages with 9 items like this with the pay pal buttons on each Works for sale no fancy header code etc. I wish the one they have for Rapidweave could be ported to Blocs all you do is fill in the the hidden code with your PayPal code info on the page you drag a PayPal button to the item fill in the code for that item and it is all done on the page and the basket is then processed by your PayPal account automatically.
