Hi All,

I am required to produce some custom invoices for customers. In these invoices I need to show the Order's total in alphabetical representation. Can I leverage KonaKart to convert a numeric value into alphabetical value. Better still, it will be great if this conversion can happen as per the currency type. For example, in case of INR it can be different than in case of USD.

I am using KK webservices to fetch the data from the KK engine.

Trevor,

I am talking about following scenario:

My App relies on data model A. KK relies on its own Data Model, Say B.

When user makes a call, my service layer first makes a call to KK's Web Services & make changes to the persistent state of the data in B. AFter this, a business logic in my application may make a call to my DAO layer to make changes to A.

What I am looking to do is following:

If there is any problem (exception, system or business) during data changes to A, then changes made to B should automatically be rolled back.

In case of Web Services (SOAP), I would need to handle this myself. But in the case of JTA or similar, this can be taken care off directly by container for me. As a result, I was thinking of co-deploying my app & KK in the same container i.e to leverage JTA based transaction atomicity behaviours.

Can it be done? Not sure & that is why I asked the experts if they suggest this practice, can point me to some documentation which can hel;p acheive this.

I can co-deploy my application & KonaKart in the same container. Can I make use of some container specific transaction configuration to achieve atomicity of operations between my application & KK?

Hi All,

I am contemplating use of KonaKart in one of my already developed application, to provide e-commerce related integration. Since my application is already developed, I want to integrate KonaKart in such a mode that I also address the concern related to transaction handling.

My app maintains its own data model, KK has got its own. I want a transaction atomicity on both these databases i.e if i do an operation then it should either happen in both dbs ot should not happen at all.

I am not able to figure out how I can achieve this? Please suggest what I can do to acheive this? Is there some documentation/material to address this kind of integration?

Can I deploy my application along with KK engine and achieve this?

Hi All,

I am writing an application which makes use of Konakart as its ecommerce framework. My app deals with sale of event's tickets. I have modeled tickets as products in KK.

I need to temporarily block tickets during customer's think/payment time. This is to avoid over-sell scenarios. Please suggest how can I do it? In nutshell I need to achieve following:

a. block the quantity of tickets so that other customers cannot see the blocked quantity as available.

b. If PG returns a successful status then confirm the tickets & permanently reduce the available inventory

c. If PG returns Failure, then unblock the tickets.

d. If PG does not return any response, then tickets are unblocked

Is there any out of the box support for this? Otherwise we can surely do it in a procedural manner with KK
APIs.

I figured this out. Actually the product discount module was diabled in the KK admin.

Thanks.

Hi All,

I am using KonaKart's community edition to manage the products created by my app& their e-commerce. I am making use of  a promotion with a coupon code.

How can I show my users the discounted price when they provide a coupon code? I am making use of the SOAP API.

Hello,

I want to model a ticket for a charitable cause as a product in KonaKart. The condition is that the price of the ticket can be determined by the customer i.e. it is a kind of donation where anyone can pay any amount he or she desires.

Is it possible to achieve in Konakart? I am using SOAP APIs to intergrate Konakart with my application.

Hi All,

I am planning to integrate KonaKart with my web based application to  enable e-commerce activities in my application. Mainly I need to sell the subscriptions in my application using KonaKart.

I am bit confused on the integration options with my application. I want the KonaKart based shopping app to be running as a separate application deployed along with my main application. Also I want the security context to be shared by the two applications. If user logs in my application & when he navigates to shop, then I should be able to identify him as user in the system. User management is being done in my main application.

My app is deployed in tomcat container and we are using Spring/Hibernate.

Please let me know the integration option that I can use with ease. Or please refer to some internet links/resources where I can see the deployment options of KonaKart.
