This addon allows you to do shopping cart checkout using Alipay payment gateway.
You can install this addon the same way you install any WordPress plugin:
This documentation will address the usage and setup of the ‘Manual/Off-line Checkout Settings‘ feature of the WP eStore plugin.
The manual checkout option (when enabled) allows your customers to proceed to checkout with an item without needing to pay. This feature is useful if you have a business that has physical products where most of the transactions occur offline. Other business owners are able to use this feature to sell items to a non-for-profit organization where they give the items in return for a payment later on. The ‘Manual Checkout Option’ is also widely used for companies that wish to offer an in-store pickup and payment option. This feature is fully customizable allowing you to:
1) Your customer goes to your store and checks out via the manual checkout option.
2) The customer gets an email that contains all the items he/she ordered.
3) The customer also gets some “instructions” in the email. You specify the instructions in the “Directions for the Customer” field under the manual checkout settings section. This instruction could read:
“Come to our store [address of your store] with the money to pickup your item.”
The manual checkout option is located in the ‘Settings’ menu of the WP eStore plugin.
Configuring the manual checkout option is simple and easy.
Step 1) Under the ‘Payment Gateway Settings‘ tab, you will need to check the ‘Use Multiple Payment Gateways‘ box to be able to offer both a standard checkout (for example, PayPal) and a manual checkout to your customers.
Step 2) Use the above steps to locate the ‘Manual Checkout Options’ area. Check the box next to ‘Use Manual Payment Option‘ to enable this feature.
Step 3) Enter in the email address of the seller (merchant) and choose a subject for the emails that will be sent from the plugin.
Step 4) If you would like to add directions for your customers, you can type these in the ‘Directions for Customers‘ box. Email tags can be used in this field.
Step 5) Paste in a return URL where you would like to send your customers after they have enter in their details for manual checkout.
Step 6) Tick the boxes for the following if they apply to your product: ‘Do Not Add Shipping Charge‘, ‘Automatically Update Customer & Product Database‘, ‘Create Membership Account‘, ‘Perform Autoresponder Signup‘, ‘Automatically Award Affiliate Commission‘ and ‘Send Product Download Links in the Email‘.
Step 7) You can edit the title of the ‘Manual Checkout Option’ viewed by your customers from the word ‘Manual’ to the wording of your choice in the ‘Manual Checkout Selector Label‘ field.
Step 8) Ensure you ‘Update‘ the changes you have made.
There are several ways to set up the manual/offline payment option for your site. It’s also a good idea to read this post, which outlines the available options.
To give your customers the option to use the ‘Manual Checkout Option’ you will need to use an ‘Add to Cart’ button. This can be a ‘fancy’ add to cart button or a simple add to cart button. Using a ‘Buy Now’ button will not offer your customers the choice of ‘Manual Checkout’. Your customer will see the option to checkout manually when they view the ‘Shopping Cart’. The ‘Manual’ option appears beneath their item total in a drop down menu. To complete a manual order, your customer will be required to fill in an order form.
When a customer checkouts using the ‘Manual’ option, their ‘Payment Status’ will appear as ‘Unpaid‘. This can be manually edited by admin once the customer pays cash in person or transfer money into the business account.
The Amazon S3 Integration addon allows you to securely store and deliver digital downloads using Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3).

You can install this addon the same way you install any WordPress plugin:
1) In order to configure opening hours for your store, click on the “eStore opening hours” sub-menu under the WP eStore plugin menu.
2) Add opening hours in a 24 hour time format.
3) Enter the page/post IDs where you want to apply the configured hours.
4) Enter the message that you want to display to the users outside of opening hours.
5) Finally click the “Enable Opening Hours” checkbox.
The addon will not function until you enable this option. This is to make sure that you get some time to configure the hours for your store.
6) Click the Save button
Each WordPress post or page has a unique ID with it. If your site uses web friendly permalink format, You might not be able to find the ID just by viewing the page. Here is a trick that you can apply to find the ID of a post/page:

2) Hover your mouse over the Edit link.
3) The post/page ID should appear on the bottom left corner of your screen (it will be a numeric value).

Ever wanted to offer your customers the option to pay via installment payment for your products or services? The eStore PayPal Installment Payment addon allows you to accept payments in installments for the products or services you sell from your website. Offering an installment payment option can be very helpful if you are selling high priced items.

You can install this addon the same way you install any WordPress plugin:
In order to configure PayPal Installment specific options for a product click “Add/Edit Products” from the admin dashboard.
Click on the “PayPal Installment Specific Settings” section and configure the details of your installment plan.
Click Save product.
Please note that All payments must be collected within one year of checkout (This is a requirement of PayPal Installment checkout from PayPal). So you need to configure your plan accordingly.
You can now add the following shortcode to a WordPress page (your landing page) to create an installment payment button for a product or service:
[eStore_paypal_installment id="1"]
Here, id is your unique eStore product ID.
If you want to use it with a fancy product display template then you just need to make sure that the product in question has the installment details configured. Then you can use the fancy display template shortcode as usual.
