https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-emember-and-wordpress-3-1-update-3023
Have been using this plugin with the store and affiliate and they work great. After the last wordpress update for some reason I can’t see my members. They are there still if I can download the to a csv file they just don’t show at the members section. Anyone else experience this? Any ideas?
Thank you
Dennis

We bought this plugin a year ago when we set up Sabcat and it’s worked a treat from day one.
Hi Destin, All of our plugin’s will work with any properly coded theme. The following article will explain more about themes and how to choose a properly coded one.

I am currently looking for a WordPress Storefront Template for my publishing company. I am also considering purchasing WP eStore to handle my digital downloads and WP PDF Stamper for ebook security; however, the dilemna I’m facing is in WP eStore’s ability to integrate with different templates. I need some assistance on this. One website I contacted that integrates it’s store front templates with WP eCommerce has never tested the WP eStore plugin and could not say for sure whether all their themes would be compatible or not. What is the compatibility factor with WP eStore, as far as integration with different WordPress Themes?
Thanks …. such a great looking features for wordpress shopping cart.
Thanks, for the explanation. That is very reassuring.
Hi Mary, Our plugin will not send out the download until the funds have cleared your PayPal account. So if someone purchases with an echeque the eStore will not send out the product until PayPal has told the plugin the funds have cleared (6-8 days later). Once it receives this information from PayPal the plugin will then automatically send out the download for that purchase. =)
Instant downloads and PayPal’s eCheck feature … is there anything to prevent a person from receiving an instant digital download when they pay with PayPal’s eCheck feature?
“It usually takes about 6-8 days for you to receive the money (estimated:
3/25/2011-3/29/2011). We recommend that you wait until the money arrives
before shipping items. We’ll email you when this eCheck payment has been
deposited into your account.”
Hi, Yes you can split (installments) the payment if you use a subscription type button with recurring payments. You can read more about this here:
https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/topic/different-types-of-payment-buttons-and-their-behaviour
and
https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/how-to-add-a-subscription-button-for-recurring-payment-400
Please ignore previous message… I just noticed the previous user asked same question and you replied with answer.
Jeff
Hi,
Can I include payment options for customers with your plugin? For instance, if my product is $1,000 can I tell them they can pay in 2 installments of $500?
Thanks.
Carey
I currently have a shopping cart on another domain. I can download the 350 products… can I then import them into your shopping cart?
Jeff
Hi Joy, Yes I believe this is what you are looking for:
https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/how-to-bulk-upload-estore-products-from-a-csv-file-775
My question is this I have a site already set up and if I purchase your eStore can I bulk transfer my products across and if so can you point me to the video instructions thank you
@Thomas, yes you can customize the button and use your own custom image as the button.
Hi
I would like to customize the “pay with paypal button” is that posible ?
Or even better do as @Sasha suggested, so we can design our own “buy now” button and display with the prodict, and when the user click that they will be redirected to the paypal checkout page, is that possible ?
If so when can we expect to implement this?
Thanks a lot!
Best
Thomas
There are too many choices for shopping cart plugins. Yours seems to have a pretty good reputation however. I think I’ll gibe it a go,
@CC, yes, you can use this plugin on as many sites as you own and operate.
is this a multisite license?
Just a quick question.. are you using the “Allow Shopping Cart Anchor†option? IE seem to have a little issue with that option (I am not gonna go into the whole discussion of how bad IE sucks 🙂 but try ticking that option off and let me know how you go.// true.
Without a doubt eStore is the best wordpress shop plugin. Simple, easy to handle and works very well.
After searching and trying a lot of shop plugins I use eStore and I´m happy.
With best regards form a lucky German customer.
Thomas
Hi, You can use different display options which you can find here:
https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/stylish-product-display-options-for-wp-estore-829
You can also edit the CSS file: wp_eStore_style.css
Thank you, Ivy! I bought eStore … seems ok, now I have another question, is there any information about how to customize the view of the shop?
Thanks.
Hi Dmitri, You can use the quality control option for this. You would set a specific number of items you have for sale and once that number has been met the buy button will change to a sold out image.
Hi,
I’m planning to sell discount vouchers online, and I have a question about your plugin. Is there an option to set limited numbers of product. For example I need to sell only 55 vouchers, after that system said that no more vouchers.
Thanks.
Hi, I need a WP shopping cart to sell mostly tshirts and novelty items, not digital items. I did read the posts where you explain the differences in shipping and taxes but what I’m wondering is – are there features and functions to this shopping cart that the simple shopping cart does not have? Is it a better looking cart? Thanks.
Thanks much, Admin I am just starting to figure some of this stuff out.
@David, all WordPress shortcodes use [ ] to insert things… it doesn’t mean it will conflict with another plugin.
Hello, Does WP eStore plugin have any issues with Embedder plugin V 1.3.2? It looks like they both use the [ ] for placeing items on to a website.
Thanks
Your server is using a very old version of PHP. This post should explain:
https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/topic/what-to-do-when-my-server-is-using-a-very-old-version-of-php
Any idea why my website looks like this (http://damntheeconomy.com/add-bells-to-cart/) after placing the following short code into the page:
[wp_eStore_category_products:category_id:1:end]
WP eStore looks pretty cool. I’ve been using PhPurchase on my site for awhile and it has been working really well, I wonder how the two plugins compare to each other
I am very impressed. I just made a live test and achieved 100% success on the first pass! I am having an issue with WP eMember being handled on the other forum. I look forward to having it resolved so I can have the two integrated.
Hi Ben, Yes you can sell physical items using the eStore. However the eStore only has simple Shipping and Tax options.
You can read more about these here:
Shipping:

Tax:
https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wp-estore-tax-calculation-916
Please not the eStore was designed mainly to sell digital products.
If you have anymore questions please let me know.
hi, very interesting plugin !
Does it work with selling real-items (caps, shirts, shoes, books, etc) ?
Hi Adriel, Yes all of our plugins are compatible with with the latest version of WordPress.
Great reviews! Is this currently working with wordpress version 3+?
Awesome. Big thank you. Yes, EXACTLY what I’m looking for. Most direct response I’ve ever had to this set of pesky little techie issues. This plug-in seems designed to eliminate that time suck . I market. I don’t program.
Will buy this product promptly.
Hi Eric, All you would need to do is use the squeeze page option you can find here:
https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/how-to-make-a-squeeze-page-using-the-wordpress-estore-plugin-126
Let me know if this is not what you are looking for.
I want to set up word blogs that are basically opt in squeeze pages. In return for the optin I’ll then be giving away PLR software, videos and PDF’s for list building. Will this plug-in make it easy for me to do that. I don’t want the prospect to pay anything for the downloads or get confused as to whether the download is free.
Hi Helen,
This sounds like a PHP session issue. You will need to contact your hosting provider to fix this issue. They will need to check that the PHP session is turned on and configured properly. This should only take them a few minutes to do.
I think this plugin is exactly what I need, it was easy to set up and get working for one product, but now that I have added a second product, it doesn’t seem as if the shopping cart can hold more than one item. For example I would like to have a customer be able to buy 3 of item #1 and 2 of item #2 and 1 of item #5 and I am testing this now and as soon as I click on Buy Now for an additonal item the shopping cart shows that item in place of rather than in addition to previous items.
Do I need to set something …. or do I need to use the premium plugin?
Hi Mankush, Yes you can break the download into multiple files and a link will be send in the same email for each file in the purchase.
For example I buy product 1 and 2 and they both have 5 parts each
I would then get 10 download links in the purchase email 1 link for every part.
The following article will explain how to set this up:
https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/how-to-configure-a-packaged-product-using-the-existing-products-262
Hi guys, your plugin looks the most pro from all the plugins. just a few questions:
Bare in mind that I`m intending to sell digital files.
1. can It send several unique links withing a single purchase? [i`m selling very big files]
Thank you very much for you time
Hi Abigail, The following forum post will explain more about a 500 internal server error and how to fix this:
https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/topic/error-500-internal-server-error#post-6543
Let me know how it goes.
can you please tell me how to handle multiple separate downloads with WP eStore,
at the moment when I try to download second file while the first one is downloading I get the
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log’
Thank you
Hi guys, just let everybody know, that we’ve just opened our site with eStore, Stamper and Affiliate from Amin. We’ve got more than 80 customers, none bug found (except for those running IE paleotlihic versions), system rocks and all 3 products combined are amazing.
We ran previously Shopp and eCommerce plugins and finally we are 100% happy with the ones from Amin.
Just wanted to share our exeperience with you.
