@Marie, The eStore has the option to integrate with Google Checkout through the Extra Payment Gateways Bundle (http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-payment-gateway-bundle-plugin).

This is an add on for the eStore. You can read about it using the link in this comment.

I’ve been using your plugin for a while very successfully with Paypal. But I want to move to Google Checkout for my payment processing. Any plans for integration with Google?

How can I setup a cart that supports automatic re-orders? For example, how do I allow a customer to have a box of energy bars delivered each month and automatically billed each month?

#6 by heather on January 23, 2012 - 11:10 am

Hi, Will gold cart allow me to have more variations options than the free plug in? I have products with lots of different sizes and the last product I loaded up only showed some of the sizes.
Thanks

If someone can view the image in the browser it means there is a way for them to save/download it. There is nothing you can do about it from the server side. This is why we suggested using NextGen gallery integration method 1 if you are selling high priced images that needs to be fully protected:

Hi, Im starting a photography blog where i sell my photos, I have been successfully using wp eStore with nextgen gallery to sell the photos however i am now also adding an ongoing blog to this site do drive interest and want to use the nextgen gallery slideshow function.

The auto add to cart short code works well to add the add to cart button but on the blog posts with nextgen slideshows i want to stop readers from being able to right click download the photos from the slide show. could you add a shortcode to be able to stop this also, it ties in with the sale of the photos through wp eStore..

e.g. nggallery id=7 template= no download]

Regards

@andraseits, The choice is yours… you can use it on your existing blog or a new one.

Will this plugin work in a wordpress.com site or only wordpress.org?

#12 by andraseits on December 13, 2011 - 6:01 am

Should i use the eStore-Plugin in my regular WP-blog or is it better to install a new one only for the shop?

I just updated my nexgen gallery plugin and now the buy now buttons aren’t showing up anymore. What happened??

#15 by admin on December 3, 2011 - 12:51 am

@Taika, This document will answer you first question:
http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wordpress-estore-miscellaneous-tweaks-215

To use a custom button image simply specify the URL of the image in the “Button Image URL” field of the product.

#16 by Taika on December 2, 2011 - 1:40 pm

Hi,

I remade my landing page by using custome WP template page. How can I make my buy now button function on that page ? Where I find the code for it ? I could only found a eStore shorcodes for adding buy button: [wp_eStore_buy_now:product_id:22:end] but that does not work on hml code.

Also, HOW can I specify custom image for buy now button (I already have graphic ready to be used) ? I need to make the buy button on my landing page completely different looking than on my store, can I use two or more different images for buy now buttons ? Thanks

#17 by sandro on November 29, 2011 - 9:57 am

been looking for long for an aff + simple ecommerce solution! Thanks! (your site should be more user friendly IMHO. Where is the shopping cart button in the top menu for instance?)

#18 by admin on November 20, 2011 - 8:35 pm

Yes, you can specify a custom graphic image for the “Buy Now” button. Is your landing page created using a WordPress custom page template or is it a plain standalone HTML page? If it is done using WordPress custom page template then eStore will work fine. If it is a plain standalone HTML page then you will need to use a Workaround to place a “Buy Now” type button on that page using eStore (more details on this can be found on our documentation).

#19 by Taika on November 20, 2011 - 5:43 pm

Hi, does the eStore support custom graphics for buy now button ? Also, Instead of having a “catalog” kind of store, I need a payment process that works with my external Salespage (like this: http://www.taikastella.com/therapydeluxe/ ). Can I do that with eStore plugin, or do I have to have my salespage inside the blog (http://www.taikastella.com ) ? Hopefully I was clear enough.

#20 by Herrin on November 10, 2011 - 8:30 pm

I recently purchased the wp-estore and affiliate platform plugins and just wanted to leave a comment to say thank you for your attention to detail and thoroughness in the coding. I have not used the affiliate plugin yet but setting up the e-commerce plugin has been super smooth and I’m already up and running selling products without any fuss or problems at all.

Great work and I’m sure I will have some questions at some stage so talk to you then!

Thanks Mike

#23 by James on October 14, 2011 - 3:26 am

Yes, thanks. I used the add to cart function and it’s ok. I will test the Authorize.net demo tomorrow!

#24 by Ivy on October 11, 2011 - 10:21 pm

@James, yes you can set which payment gateways are displayed in the cart. You can have just one or multiple payment gateways.
