Amazon Payment Method for nopCommerce

As many people know, nopCommerce by default does not ship with Amazon.com payment support.  Fortunately, an extension has been written which allows Amazon payments to be plugged into your nopCommerce E-Commerce engine (for a relatively low price):  http://www.nopcommerce.com/p/1327/amazon-simple-pay.aspx

Changing the database connection string in nopCommerce

In most ASP.NET Web Sites/Web Applications, you expect the database connection string to be stored in the connectionStrings element in the Web.config file.

However, while using nopCommerce, you will notice that there is no connectionStrings element in the Web.config file!!

Therefore, where do you change the database connection string for nopCommerce?

The database connection strings is actually stored in a file called Settings.txt.  This file is located at the root of the App_Data folder in the website.

You can simply change the database connection string in this file to point to a new database (for example when migrating from a development environment to a staging or production environment).
