I bought WP eStore because I thought it would be simple to use together with Nextgen gallery. I now understand that I have to submit each product into WP eStore even if they are already registered in my gallery?

I tried using WP simple Paypal shopping cart with NextGen, and it worked really well, I could just write [wp_cart:Productname:Price:25:end] in the NextGen description field and the item would show up correctly in the shopping cart. The problem with this, however, is that I need manual checkout, not Paypal.

So, is there anyway I can use the manual checkout of WP eStore, but without the trouble of submitting each product twice?

I would much appreciate any help.

There are two NextGen gallery integration methods with eStore. Each of these integrations have its pros and cons. Have you explored both these options?

This method may be more suitable for you:

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have explored this option. But then all my products must be priced the same, right?

This should help with that:

You liked the simple shopping cart integration right? eStore's normal NextGen gallery integration is the same as the simple shopping cart one except you have to create the products in eStore before hand. Now, there is an easier way to handle the product creations in eStore in bulk. This documentation will help:

After you do that, you can just place shortcodes for a product in the NextGen Gallery (just like you did in the simple shopping cart).

Let me know if that helps.
