WP eStore Questions (F.A.Q)
If you have any questions please leave a comment below.
@Vix, if you use the eStore plugin with a membership plugin such as WP eMember then yes, you can make it so your customers have to be a member and logged into the site before they can checkout. Visitors can have as many subscriptions as they want (there is no limit).
@Mans, please head to the customer only support form and post your question:
https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/
@admin, Could you please link it or paste it here?
I’ve been searching and can’t find it…
I have a couple of questions:
1. Is it possible to have a visitor register for an account before proceeding to checkout/payment?
2. As I understand how subscriptions work, I can only purchase one subscription at a time. But is it possible to to purchase multiple subscriptions or is a visitor limited to only one subscription?
@Mans, there is a shortcode that lets you show products from a particular category sorted in alphabetical order.
Hello!
I would like to sort items in my store in alphabetical order, instead of by ID number.
So when I show all products in a category, it automatically puts the products starting with A in fron of B and so on.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
MÃ¥ns
@Camilla, You can use any currency that is accepted by the payment gateway that you intend to use. So for example, if you want to use PayPal then as long as PayPal accepts your currency (Norwegian Kroner ) the plugin will accept it.
Hi!
This plugin looks great, just what I have been looking for!
I wounder if it is possible to change the payment … $ ( I don´t remember what others there was to choose between) to Norwegian Kroner (kr)?
Thanks!
@Sherrie Jo, some servers have an issue with the validation process. As long as the image works you can ignore this error message.
me again:) never mind. I have the thumbnail image working and have my first item done .. WOW! I really do like the way it all works so far. I still get the url not valid message but as long as it works .. will worry about it later:)
Well I must be a total ditz because I have watched the videos and am trying to set up my first item and for the life of me can not get the thumbnail url to work! Just keeps saying that is it not valid .. but it is .. what the heck am I doing wrong? Please:)
Thank you so much:) I also use the Mailchimp widget so as long as there are no problems .. aside from the normal holding of breathe as a new plugin is activated .. I guess it’s a go go go!:)
Hi Sherrie, Glad to hear that you liked the simple shopping cart plugin 🙂
There is no issue with MailChimp autoresponder.
I have been reading and researching and watching your video’s about your estore shopping cart. I use the free one and have for several months and LOVE it! have never had any problems with it. BUT I have to always send the items that I have for download through email and sometimes this is hours later .. I do sleep now and then:) So paying for your estore cart seems to be the best solution for me and for my customers so they can have their items as soon as they pay for them … here is my problem before I hit your “buy it’ button though:) I use mailchimp and have fore a long time and have never had any problems with it either .. my site might be large bu I do try and keep the plugin’s simple .. I saw on one of your pages that there are problems with the mailchimp plugin and your estore plugin, is this still the case? and if there are still problems will ‘we’ be able to work them out ? otherwise I will just be out 50 and still will be sending the products through email .. yuk
Thank you for any before the sell help:)
@Peter, the WP eStore has the following feature:
Terms and Conditions – You have the ability to require your customers to agree to your “Terms and Conditions†before they can purchase any item
Does WP eStore have a function (or can one be integrated) where the purchaser must agree to “conditions of sale” (via a tick box and preferably with a drop down box including the “conditions of sale” text) as a requirement before being directed to the payment page? Thanks.
@Sincere, yes the plugin works with 2checkout but please note that you can only do subscription payments with PayPal at this time with the eStore.
You can see all the payment gateways here: https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wp-estore-payment-gateways-679
Does this plug-in work with 2checkout? I do not use Paypal, for my payment processor, and I’m looking for a digital product plug-in that integrates with 2checkout. Thanks.
@David, it sounds like you may have done an update and forgot to do the deactivate and reactivate. Can you please try deactivating and reactivating the plugin. Let me know how it goes.
Hello, I have been using WP for selling soap products for over a year now and love it. I use “links” and “ancors” to change between product descriptions, purchase page and pictures on various pages of my website. For some unknown reason a few months ago I was not able to add, or edit any of link or anchor. What could be going on? Thanks, Dave
Best eStore plugin by far, well done Tips and Tricks
Thanks Ivy
@Lior, yes you can link the product to the PDF file. No you do not need to know HTML to use our plugins =)
@Drazen,
You can setup payment options but these would be automatic.
Example:
You can do a trial period billing for the first payment of $50.00 (this is taken out right away).
Then set it up so over the next 2 months it will take a $25.00 payment (each month for 2 months). The full payment would be $100.00 (50 + 25 + 25 = 100.00)
Or you can say in 2 months take a $25.00 payment (Total 50 + 25 = 75.00)
You can also have no trial period billing (upfront billing)
There are a few options on how you can do this.
Hello, can I set up plugin for charging several payments for one product and it is not recurrent monthly payment? Pay 50$ now and 25$ in next two months for example…
One time payment is transformed into several smaller payments.
Regards
I consider purchasing your product to sell on my site pdf files. Is it possible to link the purchase with the link to a pdf document? Also, do I need to know HTML in order to work and set up this plugin?
Thanks.
thx informatioon.. i like it your theme…
Works great with the Genesis framework theme by Studio Press. I have the expose child theme installed and so far, everything plays nicely together.

hi,
Is there a way to have multiple audio files included in one price or one item.
For instances, one of our albums has 6 tracks and we would prefer to sell them all as one item – but don’t want to have to put them each on one track. So selling 6 audio files as one item. Hope that makes sense.
Thanks! Have been appreciating this great plugin.

Hi Gabriel, It does not matter the hosting what matters is if you are running
WordPress (WordPress.org) on your site. The plugins work only with the
WordPress (WordPress.org) platform.
Hello there – does this product work for websites hosted by websites such as hostgator.com?
Thanks Ivy! It is a great plugin! I am very pleased with what I managed to do with it so far.
Thank you again and wish you luck!
Mircea
Thank you for sharing this useful informations.
Hi Cal, There is a digital variation in the eStore that allows the customer to select which format they would like the file in. This works as a drop down menu. You can read more about this here: https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/how-to-use-variation-control-in-wordpress-estore-plugin-345
Presale question. Is there an easy way to give the person purchasing an option… ie I am going to be selling ebooks, but they will be available in epub, html, pdf, etc. Can that option be available to them through a drop down, or do I have to create a new product for every single version of the ebook (ie a product for book1 epub, product for book1 html, a product for book1 pdf, etc.)?
Hi Mike, In all of our plugins you can modify the language file to fit your needs easily. The following forum post will explain more about this:
https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/topic/plugin-language-translation
Also the eStore does not create any pages so you have full control over the content on these pages, this way you can make them in any layout or language you need. Also all the buttons you can customize or use custom images. So I do not believe you will have an issue with localizing the language.
Hello, I am looking for a solution for selling digital content but would need to set my WP store in another language, i.e. every single message, menus and buttons would need to localized.
Can that be done with your plugin?Is there any kind of tool within the plugin for typing in the translated terms or do i need to have technical knowledge to do so directly into the website code?
thanks
mike
Great software plugin for selling from WordPress site, now I only need to figure out how to ditch my old cms for one with wordpress and sales integrated.
@Shawn, You can use PayPal’s shipping and tax or set it in the plugin. These documents will explain more:
https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/how-the-shipping-cost-calculation-works-in-wordpress-estore-50
https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wp-estore-tax-calculation-916
You specify how many quantity of each product you have and the plugin will stop selling the products when it runs out.
A series of pre-sales questions here…
Does Paypal handle all of the shipping and tax issues or are configured in the plug in? Can they be configured in the plug in?
Can any sort of inventory be set?
Just trialled it out and was very impressed! Looks just like what I need, thanks
Thanks for your advice on the photos.
Neil
Hi, The best size is a square size (e.g. 125 x 125). Gif’s take up less bandwith but you can have lose of quality. Png’s are usually large in size but have good quality.
We sell digital products and we find it difficult to display a really good photo of the product ie software box or ebook cover.
What is the optimum size of the graphic to display with the fancy2 code and what is the best graphic type ie jpg, gif, png etc to use.
Your advice would be appreciated.
Neil
Thanks for your reply.
@John, yes
A couple of questions please on product sold limit.
1/ If you set up a product with a limit of 10 to be sold, does the product quantity number shown then change to 9 when 1 product gets sold.
2/ Once the 10 products are sold does the plugin display out of stock, zero, or something else.
Thanks for any help.
Regards
John
