Hi there!

Thanks for letting us know about your needs for a payment gateway, etc. I am working on some ideas for the integration of Stripe by way of an upgrade to E-Payment plugin which we already have available.

For FedEx, I'd like to direct you to this link - https://www.ablecommerce...gin-for-AbleCommerce-900

Just use the Call Me payment method (no purchase needed) and we can help with the installation of this offsite plug-in.

For drop-shipping...we have vendor notification emails that can be used and the products can be setup with delivery from the vendor location. This is built-in and I'm happy to help you if you have any questions.

Give me a few days, and I'll see what we can do with the payment gateway.

FedEx is the only one that we don't have built-into the software. (It's a long story...)

The truth is that we just added features to the software for many, many years and the plug-ins are already built-in (integrated) as well. If you think about it, we can provide a much nicer integration because the features of any particular plugin can carry across to other areas of the software.

I don't know much about OsCommerce, but you should find that, although our plugins may be fewer, they all have a tight integration with the software. It was only in our latest version that we have a new Plug-in menu where in our past versions, these were just part of the application. In other words, you don't have to find and install from some third-party to use our plug-ins.

We have partners who also develop plugins, but I haven't been able to keep up with their offerings. I hope someday we can pull together and offer a separate plugin gallery that includes all the AbleCommerce partners as well. It's something we've all talked about, but still working out the logistics of such a project.

We are actually looking at upgrading the E-payment Integrator that is already built-in to the AbleCommerce software. The Stripe payment gateway is included in their latest release.

I don't think that using Zapier to utilize Stripe as a payment gateway would work anyway. The Zapier/Stripe integration is more about connecting sales to other apps. See https://zapier.com/apps/stripe/integrations

A stand-alone payment gateway, such as a certified Stripe payment gateway through their partner program typically takes 1-2 weeks to complete and test.

How about a better html editor for the product and catagory descriptions?
TinyMCE and CK editor are nice and have a lot of features not currently available in the current editor.
