The Ecommerce administrative interface

The Drupal e-commerce module keeps a log of transactions on the website, accessible only to administrative users. Each transaction lists the user who made the transaction and the transaction status. You can periodically compare the transaction log against the PayPal account in order to check that transactions are transactions are taking place successfully and being recorded accurately.

Transactions are recorded automatically when a user completes a purchase. They can also be created manually by an administrator. With a combination of manual and automatic transactions, you can use the e-commerce admin interface to keep a record of payments received from users.

Accessing the administrative interface

Changing the price of a property listing

Drupal keeps track of whether a user can create a listing or not using the userpoints system. One user point is equivalent to one US dollar. In order to change the price of a property listing, two things need to be changed:

• Edit the property listing product to change its price
• Change the userpoints settings to set the number of points it costs to create a listing

If you change the price of a listing to $50, you must change the userpoints values to -50. This takes 50 points away when a listing is created.
