Post Method Not Allowed

Hello,

I’m trying to build a simple web shop using the demo on hugocodex.org

When I click the Proceed to Payment from the cart, I get the error read-only displayed, and inspect element in Chrome shows POST localhost:1715/shop/paylink/ 405 (Method Not Allowed)

When I change the method to GET, (or go directly to the URL), the page loads (with a huge query string)
See below where I edit the form to GET instead of POST:

          <div id="checkout">
              <form action="/donate/paylink/" method="post" onchange="setAddons(this)">
                  <input name="_gotcha" style="display:none" type="text">
                  <input name="_to" type="hidden" value="joost@vdschee.nl">
                  <input name="_subject" value="New order!" type="hidden">
                  <input name="ordernumber" value="" type="hidden">
          
          
        <div class="half">
                      <label for="firstname">{{ i18n "First name" }}</label>
                      <input type="text" name="firstname" required />
                  </div>

If I have overlooked some documentation that outlines this, feel free to link me, I couldn’t find anything similar with these search terms.

Thanks for your help.

Ahhh, Hugo is a static site generator, not an operable back-end server though. It’s something like files “compiler” where all outputs are compiled into downloadable files (e.g. index.html is your viewing web page). It’s 1-way traffic only (strictly to client-side front-end only).

If you need to enable commerce you need those payment link features from Stripe or Paypal (where they operate on their frontend+backend servers). If you know about JAM stack (e.g. Angular, Backbone, etc), you can make use of the JavaScript to interact with their client-side services’ API.
