Well if you want a blank php class then in SS you can do exactly as you do in standard php, simply don't extend page

<?php

class MyClass {
  

function foo() { 
// update db you can use DB::query(), DataObject::get()...
 }
}

?>

And if thats in your mysite folder you can simply to this in any other function / class in your project you can do


$var = new MyClass();
$var->foo();

Nothing fancy their, just standard PHP OOP. If you provide more specific information about what you want to do we may be able to help further.

Do I made "Product" class as dataobject?

Just to be clear, your "product" is not referring the the product class that is bundled with ecommerce? if it is you should have this in the ecommerce forum.

If your building your own Product class the option of extending Page or Dataobject depends on what you want. Do you want each product to have a page on the site? Do you want to manage products in the sitetree? If these are yes then extend Page, otherwise extend DataObject.

I don't use ecommerce module. I need a simple simple cart. I simulate cart with simplejs javascript.

I need product to manage a Wedding-wishlist.
I simulated a list as a Product Categorie and each product with a page child of Categories.
After a person books a gift and payed via PayPal, I need to setup booked flag at true value. So, that product is not more in list.
So, I need a method to read returned value from PayPal.
