Is wp estore squeeze page stand alone?

[gordonmartin]

In relation to creating squeeze pages with estore, is it stand alone, or do we need a service such as mail chimp or aweber?

Warmest Regards,

I have gone ahead and tried to create a sales page. I setup a product to supply as a download

On the page I used the following code:

[wp_eStore_free_download_ajax:product_id:2:end]

as I want to go for the ajax type form. Although I put this code, it only came up as a normal squeeze type form, please have a loom at:

to see what I mean

I entered my name and email in and it did not work, I got a message:

Email sent! Please check your inbox for the download link.

How do I get the Ajax squeeze form to appear though?

And do I need Aweber or Mailchimp in order for this to work?

Look forward to your reply

Warmest Regards,

Gordon

Hi Gordon,

Your shortcode looks correct, but I tried to look at the page that you provided but I received a 404.

In regards to your question:

“And do I need Aweber or Mailchimp in order for this to work?”

This feature stores the name and email in the customer database, so therefore, a third party integration is NOT needed. However, if you want to additionally signup the users to your AWeber or MailChimp list, you can do that too by enabling the option in the plugin settings.

You can find more information about this feature here:

but I would still like to help you with the AJAX issue. Please reply back when the page is back online.

Talk soon,

Keith

p.s. I’m sure you already know this, but an indicator that the AJAX form is in use is when the page doesn’t refresh after clicking the submit button. i.e. It processes without a refresh.

Also, you may only have one AJAX form per page.

Sorry the page was down, check now at:

It is wrong form for the code I used, and also it does not appear to work either

Please advise

Gordon

When I enter my name and a test email address, I get the following message:

Email sent! Please check your inbox for the download link.

But no email sent, and no hint of a transaction in the admin area of the plugin

Hi Gordon,

Looking at the source code, I can see that the AJAX form is in fact being used. Perhaps it looks like it isn’t because the button is different than in the example?

You can specify what button is used… if that’s the case, go to the product in question, go to Additional Product Details (Click to Expand), then put the path to a button image that you want to use.

As for the emails not being received, it could be that your host is blocking emails from the simple PHP mail script that comes with the plugin.

To change it to use the WP email system:

1) Go to the “General Settings” area of WP eStore.

2) Scroll down to “Email Settings.”

3) Put a checkmark in: “Use WordPress Mailing System.”

4) Click the “Update Options” button at the bottom of the page.

Let me know if that helps.
