Issue/Request:

How can we get a shopping cart/self paying method added to our YPC website, such as the one that the Yale book store has?

Also once a payment is made online, is there a way we cab receive a automated email informing us of the transaction, similar to the confirmation email a customer receives or a “web payment received email”?

HI Bernadette,

This is not an easy task as there are rules about how money is collected at Yale. You would need to go through the Treasury Office to work with their preferred method of payment (PayPal Payflow) then set it up on your site, but I don’t think it would be as sophisticated as what you are seeing on the Yale Book Store. For something like that you would need to work with a vendor and it would be costly.
