WordPress eStore Plugin Demo
Categories: Additional Resources, Featured
Below are some demo products showing how the “Add to Cart”, “Buy Now” and “Subscription” buttons work:
Available Qty: 41
Products can be displayed like the one above or the one below by using a simple trigger text (all the available stylish product display options are listed here).
Feel free to hit the Add to Cart buttons to see how the shopping cart looks.
Subscription Button Demo
Subscription button demo that charges the customer $29.95 USD for the first 7 days Then $49.95 USD for each month, for 6 installments
The WP eStore plugin can be used to create any type of Subscription button.
Simple ‘Add to Cart’ Button Demo
You can also choose to display a very basic button. A basic button just places the button like the following so you can design/display the product details however you want it.
For example, I placed this basic button inside a table with some image and text to create the following display:
 Demo eBook Price:1.50 |
 Demo mp3 Song Price:1.00 |
Customer Specifies a Price Demo
You can use WP eStore to sell items where the customer specifies the price of the item. For example, you can specify a price for the following demo item then hit the add to cart button:
There is a minimum amount of $2.00 (this amount is customizable) specified for this product. So you cannot specify an amount lower than $2.00.
Simple Pay Per Video or Video On Demand System Demo
The following demo product demonstrates how you can setup a simple pay per view system using the WP eStore plugin. Once the buyer clicks on the encrypted link that he receives after the payment, he will be redirected to a web page allowing the customer to watch the streaming videos. The true URL of the page where the content is embedded (e.g. a steaming video) does not get revealed. So, if you try to copy and paste this URL then it will not work unless you actually make a purchase and click on the encrypted link.
Demo PPV Content
Price:1.00
Feel free to hit the ‘Add to cart’ button and see how the shopping cart appears below this line. The shopping cart can also be found on the sidebar. You can go ahead and complete the transaction if you want to see how the system works before you purchase the plugin.
Buy Now Type Button Demo
Demo Buy Now Button
Price:1.00
The above ‘Buy Now’ button takes the customer directly to PayPal for Payment (Useful when you want to avoid the shopping cart system and want to provide the customer an one click checkout process).
MP3 Music/Podcast Selling
Price: $5.00
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Secure Download For Free Products
You can use eStore to create secure download now buttons even for free products. This keeps the true location of the digital asset hidden. Why do you want to hide the URL of a free product? Sometimes you don’t want people to be able to share the URL of the item in an online forum or a webpage. This forces them to come to your site to download the item. Click on the following button to see how it works:
Building Email List On Autopilot
WP eStore can be used to build an email list by giving some product for free using a squeeze page type form. This page explains how to take advantage of this feature.
Coupon Code Demo
After you add some products to the shopping cart use coupon code “DEMOCOUP1″ (gives a 20% discount on all items) to see how it works. Visit the Coupons code feature page to see more.
Shopping Cart Display Options
The following section shows all the different types of shopping cart display options that are available for you to use on your site when using the WP eStore plugin.
1. Shopping Cart Display: Classic Option
When you add items to the cart, the following section will show the shopping cart using the classic display:
Your Shopping Cart
2. Shopping Cart Display: Fancy1 Option
When you add items to the cart, the following section will show the shopping cart using the fancy1 display:
3. Shopping Cart Display: With Product Thumbnail Option
When you add items to the cart, the following section will show the shopping cart with the product thumbnails for each item:
4. Shopping Cart Display: Only When There are Items in The Cart
The shopping cart in this section is only visible if there is an item in the cart. If the cart is empty nothing will be visible in this section:

I have seen that but I want if I sell one product that will be show remaining 49. Or 1 product sold from 50.
Is this possible?
Regards
November 20th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
@Askman, I will add an option so you can display the “Available Quanity” of a product anywhere on the page.
Update: you can now display the “Available Quantity” and “Copies Sold” counter for a product anywhere on the page. The shortcodes page have more details (http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/?p=460)

I think this is just what I’ve been looking for. Do you have more documentation before I purchase? I’d like to have a video that goes with some of my books that describes what the book is about. Can I insert an embedded YouTube in the product description?
December 1st, 2009 at 9:05 am
Hi RevTrev, You can insert any HTML in the product description but I would recommend doing something like what I have done on my “Products” page (http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/products). Basically it has a compact display of the products and there is a “More Info” link that points to the post/page which has detailed info (video, more description etc) of that product.
December 1st, 2009 at 8:30 pm
You know what? I saw that in the video. Looks amazing. I like having more control than in the other Ecommerce solutions I’ve found. I’ve asked a couple more questions around setting up shipping and Paypal integration. Looking forward to another amazingly quick response.
March 17th, 2010 at 10:42 pm
Looks very nice. I have a couple of questions :
Is it possible to have the system take a serial number from a table and mail it to the customer ? (and also store the serial number(s) along with the items that the customer purchased)
How easy is it to localize (e.g. for Danish) – does it have its own language file, or are all labels hardcoded all around the source ?
March 18th, 2010 at 6:38 am
Hi Jan, In the post payment processing script you can add your code that take this number from a table and adds to the email body (this number can also be stored in a column of the db table). The code is in PHP so PHP knowledge is required.
There is a language file which you can translate for localization. Please note that only the customer end (whatever the customer sees) can be localized (admin menus are hardcoded in English).

Hi, I’m interested in this button but I was wondering for digital media such as mp3s
would I have to make a different “add to cart” button for each song?
May 28th, 2010 at 2:02 am
Hi Aaron, Not sure what you mean by different buttons but you will need to make a product for each song. Then you can display those products on a post or page. This is easy to do, you can do this with the categories shortcode and it will display all the products in that category or you can place the single product shortcode where you need to and change the ID number. You can find a list of all the shortcodes here: http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wp-estore-shortcodes-and-functions-reference-460
Cheers,
Ivy

I’m just in the process of adding a new website will will be for pruchasing shoppong bags for our product.
So, there is really only 1 product with different quantity choices and different prices.
I will be showing the bag on the website page and then give quantity choices for buying: 3, 10, 25, 50 or 100. Can I use RadioButtons so they select the quantity they want and buy now and it takes them the paypal?
Thanks…
Chuck..
May 31st, 2010 at 12:01 am
Hi Chuck, You would need to create a product for each variation if you want to use a “Buy Now” button.
e.g Product 1 would be 3 bags, Product 2 would be 10 bags and so on.
Since the plugin uses shortcodes to display the products you can put multiple products on one page.
If you use an “Add to Cart” button then all the variations can be in one product.
You can read more about this here: http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/how-to-use-variation-control-in-wordpress-estore-plugin-345
You can read more about “Buy Now” buttons here: http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/how-to-use-buy-now-buttons-using-the-wordpress-estore-shopping-cart-plugin-15
Please let me know if this is not what you are looking for.
Cheers,
Ivy

Is it possible to create a gallery in nextGen and have the gallery restricted? I would like to password protect my shopping cart and allow only some users to buy some items.
Is that possible?
June 2nd, 2010 at 5:54 am
You will need a WordPress membership plugin such as (WP eMember) to protect a page.

June 26th, 2010 at 7:33 pm
Looks great. Is it compatible with WordPress 3.0 yet?
June 26th, 2010 at 11:46 pm
Hi Jon, all of our plugins are compatible with the latest version of WordPress.
July 25th, 2010 at 9:17 pm
Hi there, I would like to sell mp3, the only question is is it possible to create database with the products instead of creating each products manually.
Thanks
July 27th, 2010 at 3:06 am
Not sure what you mean by “is it possible to create database with the products”. Do you mean uploading bulk products to the database?
August 2nd, 2010 at 6:55 pm
wanted to see a demo of how it works if i want to use this to sell ebooks.. does it create a unique download link? can i offer 30 day money back using this plugin? and what kind of info do i get of sales made, etc?
August 3rd, 2010 at 1:51 am
Hi, The following video will let you see the purchase from the customers point of view:
Please see the section called “Purchase Demo Video” on the following page:
http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-estore-plugin-complete-solution-to-sell-digital-products-from-your-wordpress-blog-securely-1059
The information you receive as the seller can vary depending on what email tags you have placed in the email you as the seller receive from the plugin.
You can see all the email tags here:
http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wp-estore-shortcodes-and-functions-reference-460
As for the 30 day money back offer you can refund your customers at anytime via PayPal. When a refund is made PayPal notifies the eStore and the customer is removed from the sales data.
August 3rd, 2010 at 6:30 am
Hi, I already have products in another database which would be faster if I can transfer them over rather than creating 70+ products individually. Also is it possible to display small mp3 player for individual products as preview what the product sounds like?
Thank you
August 3rd, 2010 at 10:20 am
Thanks for that info. After comenting here I realized you also offer the Pro version eStore which has unique download links.
One more question, is it possible to create a URL rewrite for this or the eStore plugin? Just as I would prefer a link that doesn’t look like:
http://www.website-name.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/download.php?file=fjkliojerj54u8998yvn249dRsfrSW2erSfeR
but instead like:
http://www.website-name.com/ebook/download.php?file=fjkliojerj54u8998yvn249dRsfrSW2erSfeR

Hi Ryan, I believe the following post if what you are looking for:

Please let me know if this is not what you are looking to do.
August 4th, 2010 at 2:02 am
Hi Dalibor, You a shortcode and the WP AudioPlayer to do this. You can see an example above under the “MP3 Music/Podcast Selling” section. As for the product transferring there is a CSV upload option you can read more about this here:
http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-csv-to-database-plugin-import-excel-file-content-into-wordpress-database-2116

August 8th, 2010 at 6:04 am
Hi there, I would like to use eStore to sell my digital music on my website.
However, since the songs in my CD can be purchased individually or as an entire album (CD), do I need to create a separate products for each song?
On the other hand, how should I proceed with the entire CD? Create another product, perhaps or is there any better way?
Thanks!
August 8th, 2010 at 11:24 am
Hi Patrick, You would need to have a product for each song and the CD.
August 8th, 2010 at 10:07 pm
Hi, is there a way I can display products in categories with fancy1 or fancy2 style which will also include mp3 player (I can do it with fancy4 but with any other style it just displays the shortcode) Thank you.
August 10th, 2010 at 2:35 am
Yep, use the following Shortcodes:
[wp_eStore_fancy1 id=1]
[wp_eStore_fancy2 id=1]
August 10th, 2010 at 6:32 am
Thanks for the answer, what I mean is like this in fancy 1 or 2 “[wp_eStore_category_products_fancy4 id=1]” where it lists all the products from category so I don’t have to enter the id’s manually. (or if it’s not possible how to change the look of fancy4) Thank you
August 11th, 2010 at 4:08 am
Hi Dalibor, You can find a list of all the shortcodes here:
http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wp-estore-shortcodes-and-functions-reference-460
August 21st, 2010 at 1:55 pm
Does this allow me to use the plugin on unlimited sites or am I restricted to 1 use of the cart per purchase?
August 22nd, 2010 at 2:54 am
Hi, The eStore is a multi site license you can use this on as many site as you own and operate.
August 28th, 2010 at 8:05 am
Hi Ivy,
I want to create shopping cart same as you have created on the demo site(http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-estore-plugin-complete-solution-to-sell-digital-products-from-your-wordpress-blog-securely-1059) under “WP eStore Shopping Cart Screenshot” heading.
Is there a shortcode for this?
August 29th, 2010 at 1:52 am
Hi Mudit, Yes this is a shortcode. If this shortcode does not work for you, then you may need to update your eStore
Shortcodes you are looking for:
[wp_eStore_cart_fancy1]
or
[wp_eStore_cart_fancy1_when_not_empty]
List of all the shortcodes can be found here:
http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wp-estore-shortcodes-and-functions-reference-460
How updates work can be found here:

August 30th, 2010 at 6:11 am
Thanks Ivy, that works.
September 1st, 2010 at 7:16 pm
Looking to sell MP3s, but I am curious if the player can be constrained to play just a portion of the song, either as a seconds duration or a % of the total file length. Thanks…
September 2nd, 2010 at 3:57 am
Hi Don, This would be controlled in the MP3 player you choose to use. This would not have anything to do with the eStore.
September 2nd, 2010 at 4:56 am
Hi,
I am planning to buy and integrate this great plug-in in my website. I am going to sell software products with Serial number to activate for each customer.
In this case how I have to go with customizing it easily in the front panel…
If I have to touch PHP or DATABASE stuff then can I have each customer download a different product file with the serial embedded inside the zip file…
Please Help…
September 2nd, 2010 at 8:19 am
@Sheik, an easier way to do this is to generate the serial key after a purchase and include it in the email. If you have a PHP script that generates the serial key for your software then I can tell you how to integrate it so after a purchase eStore will use the script to create a license key and include it in the email.
September 3rd, 2010 at 11:03 am
I have only one product but every customer just buy individual activation code. Can I sell serial numbers (activation codes)? Unique to every buyer?
September 4th, 2010 at 1:57 am
Hi Askolds, Do you have a script that generates the codes?
September 13th, 2010 at 8:34 pm
Does WP eStore allow for unique download pages for each product after payment is processed? One would not want the customer to get access to every download being offered.
September 14th, 2010 at 5:58 am
Hi Steve, The eStore dramatically shows only the products that the customer purchased (via encrypted download links). There is no need to have multiple download pages =)
However if you want to do this you would need to use “Buy Now” buttons as you can specify a different Post Payment Landing Page for each button.
You can read more about this here:

i installed cart , i just want to show single ebook bye now option instead of cart, i’m little bit confused.
October 5th, 2010 at 1:21 am
Hi, The following page will explain how to use a “Buy Now Button”.

Please let me know if this is not what you are looking to do. =)
October 6th, 2010 at 7:43 am
Is it possible to import products via CSV file?
October 7th, 2010 at 4:34 am
Hi Chris, I believe this is what you are looking for:

Please let me know if this is not what you wanted =)
October 7th, 2010 at 5:34 am
Hello Ivy,
YES! This is what I am looking for. Many thanks!
Cheers.
October 20th, 2010 at 4:38 am
Is it possible to put text in the gray section, to the right of the paypal button?
Thanks,
Sandra
October 21st, 2010 at 2:17 am
Hi, Yes but you would need to code this into the shopping cart. I can talk to Amin to see if an option for this can be added.
November 5th, 2010 at 1:01 pm
Hi,
It would have been better if you feature some ready-to-use themes created with this plugin as the engine.
Because some of us dont know anything about coding and will only use themes based on this plugin
November 5th, 2010 at 9:47 pm
Hi Danny, Our plugins will work with any properly coded theme. The following article will explain more about how to pick a properly coded theme.
http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/when-themes-go-wild-importance-of-using-a-properly-coded-wordpress-theme-2270
When you pick a properly coded theme you should not have to code anything other then placing the shortcodes where you want the “purchase buttons” to be displayed.
Please see the following eStore videos on how the eStore works:
http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wp-estore-quick-setup-and-usage-video-tutorial-593
November 6th, 2010 at 2:56 am
Ok,
No problems, BUT are there known ready to use off the pack themes made with this plugin you know about?
November 6th, 2010 at 5:25 am
Hi Danny, Not that we know of sorry.
November 8th, 2010 at 6:38 pm
This look very interesting. I have sold online via my Pay Pal account. One thing that I know for a fact is that my tutorials have been passed around for free. This would be a great deal for me.
Off topic question: What theme are you using on this site? I love it. I mainly use Atahaulpa or create my own sites. This site is clean. If it is a paid theme, I will be more than happy to go through your aff link if you have one.
Stay well.
Rhonda G.
November 9th, 2010 at 5:58 am
Hi, The theme that we are using is on this site is MassPress with some modifications. =)
November 18th, 2010 at 9:24 pm
Nice plugin.will surely grab one soon for my new site
January 15th, 2011 at 3:00 pm
Can I embed the buy now button or product to each pages, for example I wan this product to be embed or to be put in this page or category then the other product on other pages? are this possible?
Hope to hear from you soon.
January 16th, 2011 at 5:49 am
@Afrancisco, Yes… You can embed the buttons anywhere on your wordpress powered site.
February 19th, 2011 at 11:45 am
Hello,
Is it possible to use customized pictures with our own “add to cart” button on instead of yours ?
February 20th, 2011 at 1:26 am
Hi, Yes it is, you can do this globally or you can do this on a per product basis.
March 2nd, 2011 at 4:04 am
What happen to the item that I have bought, when I lost the download link on thank you page?
March 2nd, 2011 at 4:36 am
@Jan, you go and buy it again! Just kidding
You can get fresh download links from here:

March 19th, 2011 at 12:38 am
Hi,
Can this plugin be used to sell services?
March 19th, 2011 at 3:39 am
