Below are some demo products showing how the “Add to Cart”, “Buy Now” and “Subscription” buttons work:

Fancy Display Test

Some test description of the product to show how this description field looks like. You can insert plain HTML in this field too. Some more description of the product goes here. Damn! This product display looks good.

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

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_product_streaming_video
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

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).

@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?

admin Says:
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.

RevTrev Says:

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.

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 ?

admin Says:
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?

Ivy Says:
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..

Ivy Says:
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 “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.

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?

admin Says:

You will need a WordPress membership plugin such as (WP eMember) to protect a page.

Looks great. Is it compatible with WordPress 3.0 yet?

admin Says:
June 26th, 2010 at 11:46 pm

Hi Jon, all of our plugins are compatible with the latest version of WordPress.

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

admin Says:
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?

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?

Ivy Says:
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.

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

Ryan Says:
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

Please let me know if this is not what you are looking to do.

Ivy Says:

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:

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!

Ivy Says:
August 8th, 2010 at 11:24 am

Hi Patrick, You would need to have a product for each song and the CD.

Dalibor Says:

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.

admin Says:
August 10th, 2010 at 2:35 am

Yep, use the following Shortcodes:

[wp_eStore_fancy1 id=1]

[wp_eStore_fancy2 id=1]

Dalibor Says:
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

James Says:
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?

Ivy Says:
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.

Mudit Says:
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?

Ivy Says:
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

Don Says:
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…

Ivy Says:
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.

Sheik Says:
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…

admin Says:
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.
