Local Shop : Installation guide

Introduction

Installing a shop function on your Moodle is a four-step process:

Install the necessary modules

Configure general settings

Create the front office

Build the product offer

See technical guide

General settings

“General settings” is where you provide your seller contact information and the settingsfor the payment interfaces you intend to use.

Central shop configuration

Set up the front office

The front office must always be attached to a shop instance, which will provide a catalogue of associated products. For a preview of the default front office, go to the following URL:

http://my.moodle.fr/local/shop/front/view.php?view=shop&shopid=1

You will however have to add an instance of the “Cart” block (and configure it) on this page to complete it and make it operational.

Once the front office is in place, the only thing left to do is configure the product offer.

Construction of the offer

After installation, the sales structure is empty. It is up to the sales administrator to create a sales offer. To do this, the administrator must:

Define taxes

Define product categories (product lines)

Define the products in the categories

Later on, the administrator can:

Define bundles (products sold together)

Define sets (products sold separately, but presented together)

Lastly, the administrator can use catalogue overloads to adjust the sales offer according to specific target markets (location and internationalisation, price segmentation, etc.)
