I am making a Mobile App combining jQuery Mobile and phonegap.
I have a database of products which the user can browse also from a normal e-commerce website.
But I am also making a mobile application so the user can browse the same catalog of products, and also make a purchase in the app.
But how to implement the actual purchase. Is there any plugins such as Paypal, or other services that offer payment solution through phonegap.
Any ideas are welcome :)
PayPal just released a PhoneGap plugin for Android and iOS.
In Git may paypal phonegap plugins are available but i suggest you go with native approach to maintain security and reduce/avoide memory leaks
paypal was given by phonegap plugin

I have developed an ecommerce website using WordPress. Now m planning to build an app for it through Android studio but my concern is how will my website and app integrate? Is there any bar on technology to be used while creating an app for wordpress ecommerce website?
Now there are two ways to do it.
1.If you do not have any coding knowledge then you can hire an app developer or you can convert your website into app by outsourcing to the app-builders of course it wont be for free you will have to pay.
If you are having the coding knowledge, then the first thing you need to choose is the framework. I would recommend ionic framework and you can add the woo-commerce API into the ionic framework. You will have to design the app as per your requirement, however you get the products of your store through API.
I'm making an app using the ionic framework and i'm planning to develop for Android, Ios and Web. All three of the platforms do the same things in my app and the user can log in wherever he likes. The app will be free but with ads. No planning to add a paid app to remove the ads.
I have no experience on this so I prefer asking.
How can I monetize all the three platforms?
Is there a plugin for cordova?
What is the best solution and the proper way to do this?
Is there a unique solution for all of the platforms?
Thanks a lot everyone
I have not monetized a hybrid app yet, but I've worked with cordova and ionic for a while. Try this plugin that I found with a search. It should work for both IOS and Android (I don't think you would need a cordova plugin for web):
https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cordova-admob-pro
Google Admob/Adsense should allow you to have ads on all three platforms, so I guess that would be the way to go. You can familiarize yourself with it here:
https://developers.google.com/ads/
You can use AdMost. It optimizes the ad networks to maximize the revenue of applications. You can find Cordova documentation here:
https://admost.github.io/amrcordova/
So what I want to do is, "develop" an app where it main purpose is just to open a website. I need that on android and ios. Is there an online website to do just that?
I jused to know a website, where you could develop for various platforms (PHP, Java, Object C for iOs) and even test your code online.
Somehow I can't find it anywhere. Thank in advance if you can either show me the website again or find me a new website to do just that.
Regards!

Found the website: http://www.programmr.com/
I think you're referencing PhoneGap.
PhoneGap allows you to build native applications using HTML/CSS/JS for all mobile operating systems.
If all you want is for your iPhone App and Android App to open up a website "inside" of the application, you will want to use a webView. This will allow you to have your application listed on the iOS App Marketplace and the Android Google Play Store.
EDIT: This will definitely work on Android. You must get pass Apples app approval process to get on iOS of course.
What is the difference between installing JQuery Mobile application on a device using Google Play Store and using PhoneGap?
Also, is there other tools we can use to install Jquery application on devices besides PhoneGap?
Thank you!!!!
You don't install an application using PhoneGap. Phonegap is a framework that lets you develop apps using html 5/javascript. After you develop your app you still have to publish it on Google Play if you want users to install it. Jquery Mobile is also a framework, designed to develop webpages optimized for mobile screens.
There is a good post here Explaining the differences between phonegap and jquery mobile.
There are several other mobile web frameworks such as Titanium, sencha, kendo ui, and I am sure you can find others if you run a quick search for it.
You need to read a little about them and understand the differences and advantages between them. Googling "Phonegap vs Titanium" for example will give you a good start point to understand the difference between them.
PhoneGap is just a cross-platform framework to develop mobile applications. You can use HTML, CSS, JS (incl. jQuery and jQuery Mobile) to develop in PhoneGap. In order to test applications, you can transfer them to your device using tools provided by PhoneGap and the Android SDK.
But in order to publish your application and make it available for others in the Google Play Store, you have to create a developer account ($25 at the time of writing this) and upload your application package (APK) there.
PhoneGap Guide (read "deploy to device")
Android Guide "Using hardware devices"
Android Guide "Get started with publishing"
There are also other cross-platform frameworks available such as "Titanium". Keep in mind that jQuery Mobile is only a Javascript (jQuery) extension to help building user interfaces that resemble conventional app behavior and look. It is not a complete framework to build your application.
Is there any way to implement Android In-app purchases with Phonegap? I can't find any information abt this issue. For example I can do IAP on iOS using InAppPurchaseManager Phonegap plugin. But there are no relevant plugins for Android.
And if it's impossible for some reason can you suggest any other way to implement instant(or renewable) payments for Phonegap Android app. I know there is a PayPal API for Android but I can't use it because of Phonegap...
The only way I can see is to use PayPal API for web-sites (and I have website where I can implement it) but I believe it's a bad user experience.
Please Help! Any suggestions!?
Thanks.
A partner and I just open sourced Android PayPal PhoneGap plugin and did a pull request to incorporate it into the PhoneGap plugin repository.
The plugin and instructions are now available on a branch here in this fork.
Let us know if you have any feedback.
PayPal recently released a PhoneGap plugin for Android, which is actively supported by PayPal.
