   @Chris, please download v3.2.6 from this page and give it a try… I made some modification to the function that returns the cart total (it should return “0.00” when the cart is empty).
2. Chris says:

   I am using a bit of PHP to echo cart total to another spot on the web page. WHen the cart is empty, nothing appears. I would like it to read “0” when the cart is empty. Does anyone know of the php I should add to the the echo?

   Thanks!

   This is a great plugin, we use it to sell piercing jewelry and nail products.

   Thanks for sharing

   It’s the php tags that are stopping it from showing:

   echo simple_cart_total();

   Sorry.

   Hi,

   Having now found the solution to my problem of the total in the cart showing the number to 2 decimal places I just thought I would share it with everyone just in case they too are looking for the same facility:

   Using the code from an earlier post, supplied by amin007 but tweaked in a couple of places using code provided by members in this and another forum:

   Adding the following code to my “wp_shopping_cart.php” file
   function simple_cart_total()
   {
   foreach ((array) $_SESSION[‘simpleCart’] as $item)
   {
   $total += $item[‘price’] * $item[‘quantity’];
   $item_total_shipping += $item[‘shipping’] * $item[‘quantity’];
   }
   $grand_total = $total + $item_total_shipping;
   return number_format($grand_total,2);
   }
   and then calling the function in the header.

   This works a treat and now shows £1 as £1.00 which is what I was looking for.

   Hope this helps someone else.

   Regards Margaret

   @ Stephanie with the eStore and Affiliate you can link an Affiliate id to a coupon so when they enter in the Affiliate id it will also apply a discount.

   Let me know if this is not what you are looking for.
7. Stephanie says:

   I would like to be able to allow certain customers (ie. customers of affiliates) to be able to enter a specific code and get a discount on my product. Can I do that with just the simple shopping cart? Can I do that if I purchase the WordPress eStore?
8. Mike says:

   Just downloaded it. Seems simple enough to use and support is good. Thanks.
9. Dennis Graves says:

   I figured it out, I think. I at least got the edit to not cause a fatal error and the page loads. I will try tomorrow to make sure the affiliate gets the credit.
10. Dennis Graves says:

    I love the shortcode to generate the PayPal shopping cart and buttons. Is there a way to integrate idevaffiliate into the code. I use idev on a few of my other sites and I would like to add it to these as well. Idev requires a line of code to be added to the PP shopping cart code:

    <input type="hidden" name="custom" value="”>

    I looked through the plug-in in the editor, but didn’t see where to put it.

    Is it possible?

    Thanks,

    Dennis

    @Andrew, There are no hidden fees with our plugins. =)
12. Andrew says:

    Nice Plug-in. I will definitely be using this for my web design/SEO services website. Are there any hidden fees with using this plug-in?

    @Tim, Please see the following page for the variation options in the WP Simple Shopping Cart:

    The section called “Using Variation Control Option”

14. Tim says:

    Seems like a good plugin. Adding Digital Content is straight forward with the video. However, I have one question. How does one add the physical products with the variation control? As shown in the above pics?
15. Thomas Taylor says:

    Nice plugin,I need it for little services, easy to use.Thanks !
16. Rebecca says:

    I fixed it using the other trigger text…I’m a dummy. Your plugin still rocks.
17. Rebecca says:

    Love the plugin…but am having a bit of trouble with the add to cart or checkout with Paypal button. I keep getting this message:The link you have used to enter the PayPal system contains an incorrectly formatted item amount.
    I don’t know if its formatting wrong on the plugin or something I have to do on my Paypal side….all I know is it WAS working at one point. I have reinstalled it a couple times…but no luck.
    I don’t have any commas in the prices and I’m using the following kind of trigger text within the post: [wp_cart:mccanns:price:75.00:shipping:0.00:end]
    Can you offer a possible solution?

34. Yes2green says:

    Quick question I have got this installed and customized how I like it by tweaking the CSS but is there any way to get the pay pal check out page to open in a new window? Other than that great plugin simple, light weight and easy to use.
    Thanks,

    Thanks your simple plugin. Tt’s my first time to setup my selling website. That’s very easy and important for me as a website newcomer. I am so happy I can sell my products in my our website now.
38. Scholar Focus says:

    I have downloaded the plugin, it works perfect. Thank you very much for the free software.
39. aris says:

    First off: LOVE the plugin. You should probably advertise it as having a low carbon footprint considering it adds virtually NO overhead to a site 😉

    I started using this plugin (v3.0) for my wife’s site and discovered a little issue: the base shipping cost does not kick in unless individual items also have shipping defined.

    Apart from that, happy as Larry.
40. Toronto Internet Marketing Training says:

    This is a great plug-in. It is simple and easy to use. The tutorial videos are clear and easy to follow. I also brought your eStore and I am having this on my other website. Highly recommended! Thanks for your support and contribution.

    Hi Louise,
    We have added an option (“Reset Cart After Redirection to Return Page”) in the Simple Shopping Cart’s settings menu. When you check this option the shopping cart will be reset when the customer lands on your “Thank You Page”.

    If you do not have this option in your version of the Simple Shopping Cart please download a new version of the plugin from our site here:

43. Louise says:

    Question tho, when I redirect back to the site after purchase, items are still in my cart. This would confuse the customer as to if the items were actually bought. Is the cart supposed to clear after purchase? Thanks 🙂
44. Louise says:

    Thanks for this wonderful plugin.
45. Justin says:

    Nice plug-in! It’s just really easy to use and now I could just sell my products easily. The video was great as well. It was very helpful because there were lots of questions in my head. I’ll recommend this to my friends, too. I’m sure that they’ll love it. Thank you very much.

    Hi Muhammad,

    Yes you can use PayPal Sandbox with the Simple Shopping Cart. Open the “wp_shopping_cart.php” file and search for the following:

    https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr

    Once you find it replace it with the following

    https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr

    This will make it go to the sandbox site when you checkout. After you are done testing simply revert the changes back.
