If the issue of PHP not working with Store Tags was relatively new I'd only be slightly disappointed, but I found this link: http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/archive/index.php/t-10278999.html which describes the same problem and is dated from 2004! It's been over 3 years since people have asked for this (seemingly) simple ability. Is there some staggering hurdle in the way here or is it simply a matter of it being an extremely low priority? -Chris Paul,

That said, since you are using another gateway you will not be able to process order in real-time in the checkout, which I assume would be a requirement especially with downloadable goods that are received immediately. Since you only have one product I would recommend looking into using PayPal which has a recurring subscription functionality and downgrading to a Web Hosting only package. You have a very specific use case which does not require all of the features of a Yahoo! store. Also, while I try to answer all questions on this blog, your questions are really specific to your needs and are not specific to this thread, so I would ask that you submit further questions to our customer care group. Paul Saurin,

Both are server side actions so only one can execute on a page at a time. For example, a product page with Store Tags (and no PHP or MySQL) and a content page using PHP or MySQL (and no Store Tags) would be fine. You could even hard code your add to cart/checkout links and avoid Store Tags altogether if you so choose. Paul Saurin,

Sorry for a second run-on question.. We have only one software product (download only) - available on monthly subscription fee. We have set up Authorize.net as the gateway. We want to: (a) capture the user's address and store it in our my SQL database and (b) setup automatic monthly recurring billing. How do we do this? For (a) should / can we use real time link? and for (b) will we need to use ARB feature of Authorize.net for recurring billing? Is that available thourgh Yahoo or do we connect directly with Authorize.net for that? Thanks!! Saurin Paul,

I am assuming that means that we can't have PHP/MySQL and Tags in the same page? I mean, if we have PHP/MySQL in other pages on the web hosting side, that is ok, right? Thanks!

In your case though, your requirements are not compatible with the service. We cannot support other gateways in checkout at this time. Also, store tags are incompatible with mysql and php currently. I do not have a recommendation for you for a solution to meet your requirements. I would recommend posting the question on WebMasterWorld or a similar board to get feedback from merchants that had similar requirements. Paul Prabhu,

Once you add products in Catalog Manager, you can then use Store Tags to connect your Web Hosting pages to the checkout pages (managed in Checkout Manager). Within your checkout, you can connect a merchant account such as Paymentech or any merchant account able to process with the FDMS Nashville platform. This is the Payment gateway already integrated with Yahoo!--in other words you do not need a payment gateway--just a merchant account or PayPal. I would recommend contacting our Customer Care team from the links within help as they should be able to walk you through all such questions.--Paul Not sure exactly what your question is.
