WordPress Simple Paypal Shopping Cart Plugin
Categories: Featured, Wordpress Plugin
The WordPress Simple Paypal Shopping Cart is a very easy to use and lightweight WordPress plugin that allows you to sell products or services online in one click from your WordPress blog.
Plugin Description
WordPress Simple PayPal Shopping Cart lets you add an ‘Add to Cart’ button anywhere on your blog. This plugin also allows you to add the shopping cart anywhere in a post or page or sidebar easily. The shopping cart shows the user what they currently have in the cart and allows them to add or remove items. The payment is processed by PayPal.

Demo of the WordPress Paypal Shopping Cart Plugin
I am using the WordPress eStore (plugin to sell digital products securely) which is a premium version of the WordPress PayPal Shopping Cart plugin. So I had to disable this simple shopping cart on this blog as I didn’t want to run two WordPress shopping cart plugins on the same site but you can visit the WordPress eStore plugin page and play with the add to cart buttons to see how this plugin works (It will give you a good idea as the “add to cart” feature of both these plugins are similar).
Installation and Usage (Video)
The following video tutorial on basic installation and usage guide is a good starting point:
Detailed WP Shopping Cart installation and usage instructions can be found on the Documentation site

@StuartL, Thank you for sharing your tweak.

We struggled to get the shipping costs to work as per our requirement (due to the dependency on non-zero shipping cost per item). I’ve tweaked this in my copy of the source by changing from line 288 in wp_shopping_cart.php as follows:
$item_total_shipping = FALSE;
foreach ($_SESSION['simpleCart'] as $item)
{
$total += $item['price'] * $item['quantity'];
if (array_key_exists('shipping', $item) and is_numeric($item['shipping']))
{
$item_total_shipping += $item['shipping'] * $item['quantity'];
}
$total_items += $item['quantity'];
}
if($item_total_shipping !== FALSE)
{
$baseShipping = get_option('cart_base_shipping_cost');
$postage_cost = $item_total_shipping + $baseShipping;
}
else
{
$postage_cost = 0;
}
With this change any ‘shipping’ tag in an item will allow that item to incur shipping charges, even if the individual shipping charge for that item is zero. If no items in the basket have a shipping charge associated with them the base shipping cost is not added and the total postage cost is zero.

There is Spanish translation available in the plugin. If you download a copy of the plugin from this page you will see the spanish translation inside the “language” folder.

#28 by Deny Saputra on January 25, 2012 - 5:42 pm
Hi dear, sorry I bother you.
I having issue with your awesome and simple plugin.
Yesterday, all works fine, when I click “Add to chart” button then automatically add the item into shopping cart, there is a table contained shopping item and also “checkout button”.
BUT, today! I just lose it all without any changing on my themes, plugin, and setting.
I got the “add to cart” button didn’t work, when I click it, I just go back into the page (where I put the button) and didn’t see my item cart or shopping cart, or even checkout button. I can’t see it all!
Please help me, I am so impressed with how simple this plugin, and still want to use it.
Let me know if I still can use it.
Thanks before.
Regards!
Deny Saputra
