This module is designed for processing orders from the cart. This module handles billing and shipping addresses from the customer and either uses an external payment gateway (such as PayPal) to handle the payment process or performs manual e-mail-based invoicing. This module can also optionally collect credit card information and store it in the database for later offline processing.
Note
Even if the module offers the possibility, never collect credit card information in a low security shared hosting environment!
The Orders module keeps track of all orders, and allows for the specification of items like tracking numbers and confirmation numbers and sending e-mails to the customers related to a particular order.
The functionality of the module can be extended with even more modules that allow configuring different taxes, shipping costs, and promotion actions (like discount or promotion coupons).
This module has a lot of dependencies:
