   I have two products I’d like to sell, a print book and an ebook. The print book works fine; when I add the ebook, it keeps repeating the information about the print book.

   @Manny, Credit cards are processed via PayPal. When the customer is redirected to PayPal they will have the option to pay with their PayPal account or a credit card. However depending on what type of account you use they may not see this options. You will need to check that your PayPal account will accept credit cards as this varies from country to country.

   The WordPress Simple Paypal Shopping Cart Plugin is good. It shows the Paypal button. It also shows credit card pictures but can not process credit card orders.
   What if customer wants to pay via credit card? Can you tell me how to include credit cards. Thank you.

   Does anyone know if this plugin will still work properly with the new WordPress 3.5.2 update?

   @MBenedek, You can translate the shopping cart plugin to any language you want. Look inside the language folder and you will see that it has already been translated to a few different languages. If you create the .mo and .po files for your language then I can include it in the plugin.

   Hello,

   I am very interested by this plugin and would like to use it on a website, but the website will be in Polish language and it would be great if the elements of Shopping Cart Plugin displayed on the website could be in Polish too. Do you think that it would be difficult to make a translation and implement it? Any advice as to how to do it? Would you approve such a modification. I would be very happy to contribute to this project by sharing the translation. In Poland there are 40 mln people who would certainly be interested by this plugin.

   @Aaron, Please make sure you have specified the following in the Simple Shopping Cart Settings.

   Products Page URL

   If you have done this and you are still having this issue please let me know.

    Everything is working fine except when using the shopping cart as a widget on the side and you click on the shopping cart button (thinking you are going to the main shopping cart page) it just takes you back to the websites home page. What setting changes this?

    @StuartL, Thank you for sharing your tweak.
15. StuartL says:

    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.

    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!

43. Ivy says:

    @ Davis, With the simple shopping cart you will need to use the PayPal option. You will want to make sure that in your PayPal Profile you have the “note to the seller” option enabled.
44. kelly says:

    Wow – i am NOT techie, but am so excited that i followed your video and now have a shopping cart and handy-dandy thank you page! Saved me $120 because now i can cancel the other page i was using! yippers!
45. Davis says:

    Great plug-in. I’ve used it for a couple of different things and it works flawlessly.

    Is it possible to allow the buyer to provide comments or special instruction with their purchase using the Simple Shopping Cart?

    I have seen the question asked a few times in older posts and saw this article,https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wordpress-shopping-cart-additional-resources-322, which indicates that PayPal will allow the buyer to provide special instructions. In my testing, PayPal is not providing a place to enter the information.

    Thank you kindly for any assistance.
