Do they have any API for shopping cart integration? If you can post a link to their API documentation then I will take a look.

You can do manual tweaks but I don’t advise it as it makes the upgrade process hard.

You could make package product (bundle two products) and use a “Buy Now” button for them too.

So you will have:

Buy Button 1 for product 1

Buy Button 2 for product 2

Buy Button 3 for product 1 & 2 bundled

“The sales page that I have is just straight HTML” – that’s fine simply use a plain paypal button on that page for payments then. This instruction should tell you what to do:

Okay I added the fancy option for “Download Now” button. Ivy will send you an update whenever… you will be able to use the following shortocode to display a fancy download now button

[wp_eStore_download_now_button_fancy id=1]

PayPal has differnt interface for handling recurring payments and normal cart/buy now payments so recurring payments cannot be added to the shopping cart.

I would create 3 different subscription buttons as follows and put them on the Membership payment page to accept the payment:

Button 1 [$6 per month]

Button 1 [$7 per quarter]

Button 1 [$11 per year]

Let me know if this helps.

[amin007]

Use the following:

<?php

$id = 1; //The product ID

show_product_fancy_style($id,$button_type=2);

?>

LOL.. yeah keep bumping and you will get your wish. You will probably have to bump it one more time tomorrow and then I will do it . Why not implement it now given it will be a quick thing? well, I am in the middle of adding “Authorize.net” payment gateway to eStore and don’t want to work on other features until this one is out the door. Make sure you keep this a secret though, I don’t want everyone emailing and asking… “when will it be ready?” LOL

[amin007]

Thanks for sharing the content of the debug file. This line tells you what the issue is:

“[03/10/2010 4:03 AM] – FAILURE :Funds have not been cleared yet. Product(s) will be delivered when the funds clear!”

You should have also got an email from this plugin telling you that you received payment that hasn’t been cleared yet (meaning the other person could reverse it). The plugin won’t proceed until the money hits your account no strings attached. This is a trick many scammers use to get the digital product (eStore has a check against it).

Anyway, In your case I suspect (the buyer or seller) have “Payment Review” option turned on. Check your paypal profile to make sure “Payment Review” is disabled.

Not sure what you mean with this sentence “I did but eStore but I would prefer not to have to re-create the Sales Page if at all possible”

[amin007]

Unless the payment for an item comes through the inventory does not get updated. Did you know that about 40% customers gets to the final stage of checkout but do not actually complete the checkout? The final “Confirm” button scares them LOL

Imagine how quickly you will run out of stock without actually selling anything if it was implemented in the way you suggested

This shortcode should help:

[wp_eStore_buy_now_fancy id=1]

[amin007]

By default the thumbanail image points to itself (the bigger image) but you can make it so it links to another page (e.g. the product details page that you have created). You can specify this when configuring that product. The “Product Name” can also be configured to point to another URL. You can see how I use it here:

This option is not available… I will add in a function so this can be done.

[amin007]

There nothing stupid about it… it is always a good idea to ask questions and make sure the product has the capability to do what you are after (this saves both parties time and money).

I am pretty sure WP eStore is not going to do exactly what you are after (mainly because I didn’t develop eStore to be a heavy weight full blown eCommerce plugin). It was developed mainly for selling of digital products.

1) You should be able to place a product anywhere you like. You can add products to a category then use the following shortcode on a post or page to display all the products from a particular category:

[wp_eStore_list_categories_fancy]

The following URL has an example and more explanation:

WordPress eStore Product Categorization

At the moment a product can only be assigned to one category (I think this limitation will restrict you from doing what you have in mind if you use eStore).

2) Manual checkout basically gives your customer the option to pay offline (e.g. manual bank transfer). The best to try it out from the demo page here:

WordPress eStore Plugin Demo

Yes, you can customize the “Buyer’s Details collection” page.

3) You should be able to do this one using eStore.

You will see that I mention the word “shortcode” a lot… all the shortcodes are listed here incase you were wondering:

“I thought I would have gotten an alert” – if you add a topic to your favorite by clicking the “Add this topic to your favorites (?)” link then you will get an automatic notification when someone replies to the thread.

“paypal page shows ‘3 items,’ as the product description instead of showing the actual product description of the 3 different products” – there is a down arrow that you can click which expands the product description section and displays the full details.
