Plugin Features
Below are just some of the notable features of the WP eStore Plugin (you can view a full list of features here):
Security of Your Digital Asset

The link expires after a configurable amount of time or specified number of downloads which ensures the security of your digital asset.
Sell Anything
Sell services, tangible and non-tangible products from your site. For example, you can sell digital downloads, videos, music, photos, subscriptions, tickets, serial numbers, web hosting, collect membership fees, and much more.
Secure Download Manager
WP eStore allows you to embed secure download now buttons for your free downloads (this will prevent hot linking to your files). You can also collect the user’s email address in exchange for the download (helps you build an email list).

Oh my goodness! I have gone ahead and purchased your product with a bit of trepidation to be honest, watched the tutorials, uploaded something to my shop, tested it and it is working! The last shopping cart product I installed onto my shop with my headway themes crashed the whole site, luckily I had a backup and was able to get everything back. So I was not that confident installing your eStore because of that. However, I dutifully backed up first and followed your instructions and it has worked beautifully. You have no idea how grateful I am. It was so easy. I have even got it integrated with my Aweber list especially for my customers. I am so happy!! Thanks so much, words can not describe how grateful I am. And if anyone is reading this, believe me I am not making this testimonial up, go to my site http://artgrowlove.com and see how “out there” it is and you will understand why I was so worried about mucking it up now that I have it looking “just so”. Thanks again, wonderful wp eStore people.

@ Kat, There is no limit to the number of items you can have or sell in the eStore.
#3 by Kat Fulton on September 13, 2012 - 3:54 pm
Hey guys! Is there a limit to the number of products that I can sell through your store? THanks =) =) Kat
#4 by Ivy on August 26, 2012 - 2:08 am
Yes you can add bundle packs with the eStore. This includes a digital product with a physical one. You can read more about this here:

Can I make bundle packages with the eStore? I would like to bundle a digital product and a physical book together.
#6 by Ivy on July 10, 2012 - 8:07 pm
@Lulia, I would use Amazon s3 with the eStore. You can read more about this here:

I have maybe 2 – 3Gb of data (video tutorials )
that I want to place online for sale – does anyone have a suggestion for an
online server service (that does not cost the earth?)
Keep up the good work!

Hi Liz, no you do not need the PayPal plugin anymore since you got WP eStore.
#13 by Liz on June 12, 2012 - 7:49 pm
I’ve been following your instructions step by step to setup an online store for selling downloadable photos.
I was able to integrate Paypal shopping cart plugin with the NextGen Gallery plugin.
I just purchased eStore from your site and installed it so that I can have secure downloads.
Question: Now that I have the eStore plugin, do I still need the Paypal plugin? It seems redundant and confusing to have both.
Sorry if this seems like a dumb question. Thanks for all the tips!
Liz
#14 by Ivy on June 7, 2012 - 11:25 am
@Lim, Yes we do have something like this. I believe the following feature is what you are looking for.

#15 by Lim on June 7, 2012 - 10:12 am
I have a list of pre-generated license keys and I need to send one out each time someone purchases one of my products.
So my question is do you have a feature that will allow me to do this?
#16 by Lisa Rothstein on May 17, 2012 - 12:57 pm
Just a note to say I am building a new page now and I LOVE YOU GUYS!! Love the eStore fancy Buy Now buttons and the seamless integration with Affliate Platform. Who needs anything more complicated than this? Looks great, works great, no brainer price — LOVE LOVE LOVE
Thanks
Lisa
P.S. OH and your customer service is awesome too.
#17 by Ivy on May 15, 2012 - 9:29 pm
@Jacob, I believe the following post explains what you are looking for: http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/?p=262
You can sell bundles that are not zipped together.
#18 by Jacob on May 15, 2012 - 3:46 pm
This looks great, just one question:
Is it possible to sell a bundle of files as one item, without having to .zip or .rar them together? – I’m thinking perhaps it is possible to send out several download links in one mail to the customer, even if he/she just purchased one item?
#19 by Ivy on April 20, 2012 - 12:02 am
@R You can choose to receive an email when a purchase happens. You can also set the information you want included in this email by using email tags.
You can see all the email tags here: http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/?p=460
#20 by R on April 19, 2012 - 11:34 pm
Will I receive an email when an item is purchased or do I have to log in to view purchases?
#21 by admin on April 11, 2012 - 11:05 pm
@Ravinder, Yes, you can use GBP. Basically, you will be able to use any currency that your payment gateway (example, PayPal) supports.
#22 by Ravinder on April 11, 2012 - 5:02 pm
I am based in the UK and would like to charge for my products in GBP. Is this possible using this estore plug in? or does everything have to be in dollars?
#23 by admin on March 31, 2012 - 7:32 pm
@Tejas, I am not sure what you mean by “one page per email-id” but I am guessing you mean the issue with the after payment redirection page limit per account. If that is what you mean then you don’t have to worry about it with eStore as it can dynamically set the after payment redirection page on a per transaction basis. So if you are selling products from site “A” with eStore your customers will go to a page on site “A” after payment. If you are selling some different products from site “B” with eStore with the same PayPal account, the customers will go to a page on site “B” after the payment. eStore can take care of that. You can also handle this scenario using PayPal child business accounts. PayPal lets you create child business accounts which is liked to your main account. You can have a child business account for each of your other webpage/business and process payment separately.
#24 by Tejas on March 31, 2012 - 3:07 pm
Hello
I have a peculiar question.
You are selling products here, thru paypal. Suppose you had another site, selling different products. Would you include those products on your paypal page or get another page (say using your partner’s email-id)? (because paypal allows only one page per email-id)
I have seen a friend using your estore plugin, wherein a business-related code is put, so that the purchaser lands directly on that page. Paypal’s replies are foolish, hence this question to you.
Could you please help me on this?
#25 by Ivy on March 23, 2012 - 12:56 am
@AJ. Thanks for the comments on our videos I (Ivy) make all of our feature videos using Adobe After Effects. =) The Affiliate Platform (our plugin) and the Affiliate Pro are 2 different types of Affiliate plugins.
Type 1 (Affiliate Platform) allows you to run an Affiliate program from your site (You give content like ads too Affiliates to promote products you are selling on your site). < Person running the affiliate program.
Type 2 (Affiliates Pro) allows you to turn your site into a Affiliate marketing site this manages your links (these are usually someone else products the opposite of type 1). < Person promoting affiliate products.
In this case these 2 plugins are not comparable as they do different things. =) We also have a plugin called the Affiliate Link Manager that is like the Affiliates Pro Plugin: http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-affiliate-link-manager/
#26 by AJ on March 22, 2012 - 2:55 pm
That is the coolest short product video I have ever seen. What software or company did you use to make that?
The estore and affiliate platform look like a perfect fit for me. How does your affiliate platform compare to WordPress Affiliate Pro. Your documentation looks a lot more professional.

@Bo, The following link will explain how shipping works with the eStore: http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/?p=50
The eStore was designed mainly for digital/non-physical items. However there are simple shipping options for physical items.
#28 by Bo on March 20, 2012 - 7:45 am
Hi there,
The plugin looks very straightforward and elegant. However, I can’t see how postage and packaging costs are added to the cost of any item you have added to your Shopping Cart. Could you clarify please?
All-round excellent site too, by the way!
Many thanks,
#29 by Ivy on March 16, 2012 - 1:31 am
@Terence, Thank you for taking the time to comment and tell us what you think of our products. We love customer feedback and happy customers =). I wish you luck and success with your site and hope our plugins can help you achieve this.
#30 by Terence on March 15, 2012 - 11:54 pm
Hi Guys, I just wanted to take the time to tell you how impressed I am with your eStore plugin. As a web developer, I’ve been looking for a good cart solution that’s not only easy to implement, but easy enough for my clients to use. Your plugin is customizable with lots of configurable options for discounts and coupons yet sufficiently simple for those who don’t need that stuff.
I also run an online piano teaching business on the side selling digital products and I’ve used eStore on that site as a test case before implementing it on my clients’ sites. I must say.. the eStore Stats page must now be my most frequently visited page! The pie chart and line graphs are an excellent feature and helps me track my best selling products and sales each day.
Because my digitial products are large, I set up an Amazon S3 account and the instructions you provided to connect eStore to S3 were so simple to follow. From having no store to having a professional solution that accepted payments and issued expiring download links to my customers took me about 3 hours to set up – possibly less if I wasn’t so fussy about moving things around by 1px here and there.
All up, this is a brilliant plugin and the couple hundred dollars I earned on my website in its first week would not have been possible without you guys. Well done, and I encourage everybody to buy this plugin!
