Following up on the questions by Georgette, if anyone is using E-commerce today with Evergreen, please let me know the following:
a) what you are using it for (presumably fines & fees but please verify) b) who is handling your transactions (e.g. Paypal, authorize.net, etc) c) was/is additional development required or can libraries use this e-commerce provider with Evergreen 1.6 today If anyone knows what other questions are relevant, let me know. I'm asking so I can update this feature matrix (which everyone is encouraged to check out and provide feedback about).
