I would like to know if I can customize the vault that it will work with physical store items (t-shirt ect.) instead of digital media since I won't be using the vault for digital media anyway.

I suppose I could create a seperate shopping cart for the store items but I would rather try to modify the existing cart system.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Jamroom has two ways of selling goods: the vault and the store. Each artist (depending on the quota) could have both. The vault is for digital goods, and the store is for material goods (like t-shirts). Make sure you check out the store functionality.

The problem is that with the buy now button the store item isn't added to a cart but proceeds directly to paypal and the bigger problem is that the variables for the item like price is sent in the html itself as a hidden variable. I haven't worked that much with e-commerce but isn't that a little insecure?

What I would like is to have the customer be able to add a item to a shopping cart and when his finished can simply checkout and pay for the items in his cart.

No there is nothing insecure about this, what data in the url do you need to protect? Sure, someone can change the amount in the url from $10 to $1, but then they haven't paid enough for you to send them the item. You do need to check amounts before sending goods, but I have found this necessary with all types of transactions, not just through Paypal.

The store does not do this. Others have had some success with customising Jamroom to work with cart systems, search the forum for some pointers.
