This is not possible but couldn’t you use the Collect special instruction textbox option to collect the website address?

The demo product (3rd one) at the following URL has an example of this:

LOL… I have got too much on my plate so can’t give you a time frame for this yet.. sorry.

Yes, if you use a subscription payment configured with WP eStore plugin.

I think you are after product specific sales tax. The simple shopping cart doesn’t handle product specific sales tax.

Thanks gymgansta for you input.

Yes, you can customize any of your buttons as long as you have the image that you want to use for the button.

Upload this image to your server and copy the URL of the image (e.g. http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/images/my_buy_button.jpg)

Now edit the product that you want to customize the button for and specify the URL of the image in the “Button Image URL” field under the “Additional Product Details” section. Now where ever you place a “Buy Now”, “Add to Cart” or “Subscription” type button for this product it will use that image. Let me know if this makes sense.

This page also has a number of widely used button images:

“The product link with a checked anonymous download box was searching for the file in the plugin folder” – That’s not true.. it may look like it is but the script in the plugin folder is actually trying to open the file in the background and feed the download. By not having that checkbox checked, the plugin simply lets the browser handle the download.

“As for the plugin-editor page being blank” – this is kind of bothering me though as it should not happen… did you modify any plugin code by any chance?

“For testing the Manual Checkout” – That would be the issue. The manual checkout option do not have product specific commission option. Manual checkout is not an ideal solution and doesn’t do everything. Why? The following post will explain that:

@Kennyp, I may have forgotten about it (I get a lot of feature requests so can’t always follow everyone up).

I sometimes take on small customization work if time permits so please send a request using the contact form on our site and we will discuss this.

[amin007]

Product specific commission should work fine. Are you using the PayPal payment gateway for checkout?

Can you please post a link to the page where you are testing it?

[amin007]

Some 3rd party storage site blocks access to file from scripts. Which means the plugin won’t be able to stream the file and keep the download location hidden. You need to confirm with this 3rd party storage site that they allow an external PHP script to open and stream the file.

The narrow column sidebar issue will be handled here:

Tip for Shopping Cart widget and narrow column

The 3rd issue is weird… not sure if it is conflicting with another plugin. Can you deactivate all the plugin (keeping only the eStore) and check the plugin editor page?

[amin007]

The shopping cart is pretty flexible and will try to adjust to the container that it is in but if the sidebar is too narrow then it will have a hard time fitting all the 4 columns in.

Thank you for sharing the nice tip Artmuns.

You can also make the “remove item” and “empty cart” buttons smaller by specifying the dimension in the CSS file.

.eStore_remove_item_button{

width:20px;

height:20px;

}

.eStore_empty_cart_button{

width:28px;

height:20px;

}

The video tutorial on the following page in the “Installation and Usage” section could give you some pointers too:

Manual payment is not ideal for online selling as it adds a lot of overhead and also it is hard to glue other plugins together which are designed to work in an automated fashion. Check this post which will explains how you can best handle manual checkout:

https://support.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forums/topic/wp-estores-manualoffline-checkout-methods-how-manual-checkout-works

You can also manually create a member account from the “eMember dashboard” and let the customer know after a manual checkout.

What username to use for the member as it can’t be changed later? You can instruct the customer that he/she can enter the preferred username in the “Additional Comment” section when filling out the details on the “Manual Checkout” form.

The other option is to contact the customer to ask for his/her chosen username before creating the account. The manual payment transfer process will most likely involve a few email going back and forth between you and the customer. Somewhere in there you can ask for his/her chosen username.

I am not exactly sure what you are trying to do but subscription payments should be used when you want to set up a recurring payment. It kind of doesn’t make sense to use subscription payment for a once off payment (Use “Buy Now” or “Add to Cart” type buttons for one time payment).

You can create a membership level that has a one day expiry set then use a “Buy Now” button to sell membership for that membership level. When customers pay they will get a one day membership.

Use this to retrieve the currently logged in users info:

<?php

global $auth;

$user_name = $auth->getUserInfo('user_name');

echo $user_name

?>

You can retrieve the User ID with the following line of code:

$user_id = $auth->getUserInfo(‘member_id’);
