I'm trying the checkout modules v0.4.3 on a Gallery2.2.6 I don't understand how to use the base module, I've installed it on a gallery but for any photo in the "Product - Price - Quantity" column appears "There are no products available for this item.". Needs each photo to have a related product? Are different things products as photos? Can somebody tell the minimum steps to have an image buyable? Thanks |

Configure the module in the "Checkout" config page. Put some products in the products table there.

I've tried the configuration "template of products", but when I "add to cart" an image, the result is the same.
I understood that the "Products and Prices" section in the admin "Checkout eCommerce Settings" was a way to have few/complementary products not linked with any concrete image.

What made you think that? I think you should read the instructions on the config page more carefully.

In my gallery, an image is a product, and the only extra thing can be the transport.
I thought that with the "Activate Custom Settings" the product could be defined in the "checkout" tab when editing each image in the gallery.

"products" are eg. print sizes, so 6x9, 8x10, 4x6 are all different products. An image is not a product.
Custom settings lets you change the price, title, etc for the products you have already defined for each album or image.

Then, If I want to manage each image as a single product, do I need to define one product in the admin area, and then costomize the same product in the albums?

You could do that.
Or you could define five or six (or 10) different products - each with different prices for example, and make only one "visible" for each image. Then you can change the prices as groups, together.
Whatever works best.

I have 300 images, and each image is a product with its own price.
