Serial Number Usage/Duplicates

[myallenmedia]

Hi, I understand about adding the serial numbers to the Serial Number/License Key Settings area but my question is this. Will the system use one serial number then delete it from the pool of numbers? I just don’t want the same serial number going out to two different customers.

Also, can the {serial_key) be also added to a page to show the user their serial number? If not, is there a shortcode for showing their serial number on a page?

– Yes. So your next customer will not receive the same key.

Thanks for the reply. What about getting the serial_key shortcode onto a page? Is there a shortcode for that?

[admin]

There is no shortcode for that unfortunately.

[myallenmedia]

Can we create one? If you give me a bit of instruction then I can do it. Maybe I can copy the procedure from an existing one.

[admin]

What would be the use case scenario?

[myallenmedia]

The scenario would be that when the user buys a product and they go back to their home page and on that page I just have the shortcode [serial_code] would display their serial number. They don’t get access to that page until they buy anyway so having that serial_code shortcode would be great.

Thats not going to be doable because when a serial key is issued, it is not tied to a particular member/user. Whoever makes a payment gets a key from the pool.

What you can do is, show the serial key on the “Thank You” page right after they make a purchase.

Have you done the following?

The license key will get displayed (if any) along with the product download link on the thank you page when you do that.

I guess I could create a php function to reference the record in the database and show it on the page. Just wanted to have a shortcode if possible.

On this link http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wp-estore-instant-digital-product-delivery-499 it does not say what the short code is for the serial number on the “Thank you” page. I’ve also tried [wp_eStore_transaction_result:end] but that doesn’t seem to work. So what is the serial sortcode for the “Thank you” page?

Tnx

It will show the serial key with the download links (if there is one). There is no special shortcode needed just for serial key. If you have the link display on thank you page working then thats all you need. Do you have the following working?

You use the following to add the serial number to the email:

{serial_key}

I’m using [wp_eStore_display_transaction_result] but it does not display the serial key.

It only says serial key is in queque, so that’s no use to me.

When someone pays with Paypal E-check I understand that you don’t show the serial but if paypal gives an OK it should be printed on the thank you page using [wp_eStore_display_transaction_result]

Download url does work. So why not the serial key?

Open to improvement in my opinion.

Because the serial number is sent via email:

So when that payment clears, the customer will receive an email with the serial number.

I would also like to show the {serial_key} on the Thank You page! All I get is the transaction information from PayPal…which is great, but I really need to show them the key!!!

It sounded like this was possible, then it was retracted. Is this something that can be done…soon?!!

Please read this thread:

Use the [wp_eStore_display_transaction_result] shortcode.
