Photo Seller – manual checkout per gallery?

[rick_od]

here is the scenario. i take 100 pics but the customer only gets 10. i want them to be able to look trough a password protected gallery of those 100 photos and select the 10 they want me to edit and print. i can use the manual checkout feature but if i enable this feature, it will be sitewide and every other customer will have that option which i do not want. i want the other customers to go to paypal and make a normal payment. so is there a way to turn on manual checkout per gallery? so one gallery would have manual chackout but others would not?

thanks!!

No, the checkout option comes from the cart (not from the gallery). Maybe you can add some instruction in the cart page where you tell them that the manual checkout is only for people that you have instructed specifically to use that checkout.

You can edit the cart page in WordPress’s page editor then add some text/instruction below the cart shortcode.

thanks but if the customers have the option to mess up a purchase by selecting manual rather than paypal, they will. not sure how to handle that situation.

Hi,

What you are asking for is very specific and customised functionality.

Depending on the implementation and whether it is feasible, perhaps we can discuss the possibility of you hiring me to implement the functionality you are after?

Let me know and I can send you a separate email where we can discuss further.

sorry, didnt mean to come across that way. you would know more than i as to what people are requesting from your plugin. it is my opinion that it would make your plugin more marketable if you had some sort of function for customers to select from a gallery of pictures but not make a purchase at that time. photographers often offer a package where the customer gets X number of prints from hundreds taken. it is unrealistic for the photographer to edit those hundreds of pictures only to have then get 10. it would always be better for the customer to pick first and have the photographer edits only those. manual checkout is a wonderful option, but if left on, opens the opportunity for someone else to choose that over Paypal. now that customer gets confused as to what happened to his/her purchase. if its not feasible, we can move on.
