Create a preliminary cardshop

[martin8032]

As requested by @Popolechien we will create a simple shop (based on Easy Digital Downloads) to sell a small selection of image files for Kiwix Hotspot online.

[Popolechien]

Here's the rough sketch: This will not give access to the Cardshop, but allow users to directly pay and get a download link for a ready-made hotspot image (ie without us having to do anything for them). We will need to create three hotspot images: one in English, one in German, and one in Spanish (based on our dominant customer demographics). I unfortunately cannot import the JSONs, but the idea is to have basic images with Wikipedia+Wiktionary (Maxi/novid) on each card (+Raspberry Stackexchange on the English card as a secret bonus). Once they pay, users should be get two links to chose from:

• a regular http one (presumably hosted on a private version of download.kiwix.org/hotspots);
• a bittorrent link so as to save on bandwidth costs for us.

@martin8032 has the wordpress extension to manage the payment and delivery. He only needs 6 links to ensure delivery. @rgaudin @kelson42 I understand this is not as trivial as I would have thought, but do you have an idea when we could start testing?

Current status:

• The shop is implemented in the production environment: https://www.kiwix.org/en/downloads/kiwix-cardshop/
• The URLs for the downloads are missing.
• The payment plugin is missing.
• The page is visible but not linked in the menu and should not be indexed by search engines.

@Popolechien We should have a free offer here. It is just the mockup which does not take it in account?

[Popolechien]

@kelson42 Yes that's the sales part. The demo image will be addressed in a separate ticket (#83)

Payment through Stripe is implemented by now. Currently the cardshop is still in test mode, so you cannot make real payments, but you can test the process with one of these dummy credit cards: https://stripe.com/docs/testing#cards

The technical project is started here https://github.com/kiwix/cardshop/projects/1. Not sure about the value of this ticket and what we should do with it.

[Popolechien]

This is a separate project aimed at downloading standardized content without registration (as opposite to full access to the library for bespoke images). Partly covered by #112 and #117. Now that enwp is out I'll try and release a test version shortly.
