[closed] Successful esshop integration?

[notiones]

CMC Made Simple v. 1.2.1
esshop v. 1.0
Apache server

I have built a small business site and installed esshop and need some direction.

1) Do I have to manually add every item? I will be adding some 200 or so.

2) I installed a new "content" page called "online ordering" and added {cms_module module="esshop"}. It looks terrible. It functions as it should, but the formatting is too big and is in two columns. I would prefer one. Does someone have/or can show me what code I need to play with to change the formatting. Also, is what I did in the first sentence best practice? I cannot find any documentation. I am playing around with diff templates for the cart, but what I really want is a scaled down version of my main template.

3) What is everyone using for shipping? Is there an add-on for esshop or a module that will take care of this for me?

4) What is everyone using for a payment portal? Right now there doesn't seem to be any way to pay but Pay Pal and it is not required to submit an order.

I am very green, but having a blast with this software. It is really amazing. I dumped a more popular cms program for this one and am delighted I did.

I am also going to detail step by step everything I did from beginning to end so that perhaps someone else as green as me can move a little faster.

Question #2 can be ignored if it is worded badly.

Perhaps it would be easier to ask if someone would be willing to post a link to a live esshop.

just set this up... http://happythedog.com/index.php?page=test-merchandise

so far, i've found NO help from developers (as you've probably noticed). I'd love to get some help with the module, as it has some potential (super easy to use).

Hi,

This looks pretty good. Is the store fully functional? How much customization did you do? Any further insight would be helpful. This could save me lots of time compared to using another storefront.

Thanks,
jt.
