UMBRACO troubles - Ecommerce Integration

I am trying to add some form of ecommerce to our website www.lightfab.com

I was going to simply insert the html tags for the paypal button that I had but the html editor clips the code and doesn't insert what I want. I was told that I may need to use XSLT or Razor macros... but I would have to make one for each product that I want to use... also I don't know how to use XSLT or Razor.

Is there a simple way to either integrate some form of ecommerce or a way to enable html input for pages?!

Thanks!

You might be better opting for an umbraco ecommerce plugin such as Cartbraco. Its cheap, easy to use - adding a buy it now button is as simple as adding this one line of code to your razor template:

@await Component.InvokeAsync("CartbracoBasketSummaryVC")

Adding a basket and checkout is as easy as this:

@await Component.InvokeAsync("CartbracoBasketListVC")
@await Component.InvokeAsync("CartbracoCheckoutVC")

Fixed buttons from PayPal is definitely one possibility, but they are just that "fixed", which means that you'd have to create a button for each product. If you're dealing with a limited number of products it might be a good way to go.

Another approach is to use an e-commerce extension for Umbraco like uCommerce. It does the integration with PayPal for you and doesn't cost a thing to use. You will have to get your hands dirty with some code, but you'll get a full set e-commerce functionality for free with it.
