   Hi
   I want to sell a few digital products and want to know that can this plugin auto send different emails for different products because every product has a different download link. If yes, how do I do it? Thanks.
2. admin says:

   @Kim, The plugin only sends notification after a PayPal transaction. If a transaction is not complete, no email is sent.
3. Kim OBrien says:

   Is there a way to NOT send the notification email if the Paypal transaction is not completed?

   @Piotr, We don’t have a cart icon but you can use the following compact cart shortcode on your sidebar or the header of your site:

   Hi there

   Is there any way to display a shopping cart icon in the Primary Menu Bar (along with a summary of added items/price) with this plugin ?

   Thanks!
   Piotr

   @Sam, Please read the “Always Show the Shopping Cart” section from the following documentation which will show you how to use a shortcode that shows the empty cart message:

   When cart is empty, there is no message stating Cart is Empty. Have I missed checking something?

   Thank you for this plugin and for the wonderful video tutorials and clear instructions. For a non-techy person like me, this was a breeze to install. 🙂

   @Joel, Yes all of our plugins have been updated according to the new PayPal guidelines.
10. Joel says:

    Has this plugin been updated to meet PayPal’s new guidelines in regards to “IPN Verification Postback to HTTPS”?

    I know these guidelines aren’t essential yet according to PayPal.

    Cheers!

    @Lallah, Yes you can simultaneously use all those plugins on your site. I think this free plugin will do the job for you.
12. Lallah Rowe says:

    I am creating a store for a non-profit. We have physical items to sell and also accept general donations and donations for specific projects.

    Is there a way to easily integrate a donate button with this plugin? Can I run WP Simple PayPal Shopping Cart simultaneously with WordPress Easy Paypal Payment or Donation Accept Plugin? Can this be done with free plugins? What is the best way to do this?
13. admin says:

    @Hagus, Upgrade your PayPal account to a premier or a business account (its free) and then that option will be there. PayPal doesn’t offer the credit card checkout option for merchants using personal PayPal accounts.
14. Hagus says:

    On paypal page after checkout: How to set the option to “Pay with my credit or debit card” (without resgistration for paypal account) rather than “Create a PayPal account”. Thanks
15. admin says:

    @Tom, yes you can enable the sandbox testing option in the plugin then use your sandbox account seller address in the PayPal email address field. Then do a sandbox test transaction.
16. Tom says:

    Can our Sandbox Paypal accounts (buyer and seller) be used to test checkout button created by this plugin?

    Just want to THANK YOU for this great plugin! I’m not really well-versed with WordPress especially HTML side but with your plugin, it made my life easier. Thank you!

    @Michael, I think the following compact shopping cart option will do the job:

    Hey,
    Is there any way to add a Shopping Cart Icon in the header of the page? Just one which shows what the visitor has in their shopping cart regardless of the page their on?
20. admin says:

    @Alex, What do you mean by the product checkout UI?
21. Alex says:

    hey is there a way to make the product checkout UI black or a darker color

    @Debbie, The eStore has a sold out option. You can enter in the amount of tickets you have for an event (example 100). Once the 100 tickets have been sold the buy button will become a sold out image.

    If you restock the product the sold out image will change back to a buy button until the new stock is gone
23. Debbie says:

    I just fount your eSTORE plugin – does it have the capability to limit the amount of sales? It looks like it does but I just want to be sure. Thanks!
24. Debbie says:

    After trying way too many event registration plugins, I found your plugin and decided it was the better way to go for my business. As a designer and not a programmer, I love the ease of configuration and the control I have over how my pages look. My only request is that there be some way to keep track of sales, so that if an event fills up, people won’t be able to pay for spots that aren’t available. Thank you!
25. Dimas Radene says:

    Thanks for this great plugin,works really well,Thank-you.

    @Andrew, You need to use the following for the Canadian Dollar: CAD
27. Andrew L'Esperance says:

    I am having troubles using Canadian currency with this plugin, what abbreviation do you use to specify Canadian Dollars?

    Thanks

    @Sonny, Click on the shopping cart installation and usage documentation link in the page above. Then search for the word “variation” and you will find the section that has shortcode examples.
30. Sonny says:

    Hi!
    Great Site! Learning TONS!

    Can you tell me where I can find the variations “copy paste” short codes for the different products? Cant seem to find them or figure out how to do that? Trying to create a nice product box with three different options each for several different products.
    Thanks!
    🙂

    @Sal, you shouldn’t have any issue with upgrading.
32. sal says:

    hi

    I want to update to the latest wordpress and the newer version of your plugin. do you think i will have a problems upgrading from v3.2.3 and WP v3.1.2?
33. admin says:

    @Yandoo, There is definitely a space there. Your theme probably doesn’t have any padding or margin defined for your table’s td element. Try adding the following CSS to add some space:
    
.shopping_cart td{
padding: 0px 3px;
}

34. Yandoo says:

    Nice plugin, slight issue with side widget. The subtotal and total don’t have a space before the amount, after the:
    Subtotal:£10.00, Total:£10.00

    How do I add a space please?
    Subtotal: £10.00
    Total: £10.00

    Also how can you increase line height of sub, total and shipping (they are a bit close together)

    Thanks 🙂

    @Terry, you can add the shopping cart shortcode on any page you want. Simply add the following shortcode on your items page:

    [always_show_wp_shopping_cart]
36. admin says:

    @Steve, What do you mean by multi-buy discount option?
37. Terry says:

    How can I get an empty cart to display on the items page? That area of the page is empty until something is added to the cart. I have the text “your cart is empty” in the empty cart field on the setup page.
38. Steve says:

    Hi
    This plugin is great, I’ve used it for a couple of client sites who wanted a simple solution that worked, and this ticks all the boxes. Almost. Is it possible to set up a multibuy discount option or do I need the pro version for that?

    Thanks
39. admin says:

    @Narcs, You can update the language file of the plugin and send it to us. That way we will be able to include the updated language file in the next version.
40. Narcs says:

    Hello,
    How can I settle and fix the spanish language in order to keep it when updating?
    Thanks and best wishes for this 2014,
    Narcis.

    Hi! can i add a international shipping?
43. admin says:

    @Pierangelo, You have a bit of issue with HTTP POST on your site. Maybe your theme is messing something up. Do what is explained in the video labelled “Create a Specific Checkout Page” and you should have a workaround.
44. Pierangelo says:

    First of alla Great Plugin!
    I’m using it with a one page site template and I’ve got some problems with the specific checkout page. I’ve followed exactly your tutorial but when I click on the “add to cart” it result as an error “OOPS! THAT PAGE CAN’T BE FOUND.” But the section page is created and everything else is ok. Do you think could be because is a page section and not a page?
    Thank you

    @Sarah, Please make sure you are using the latest version of this plugin and have followed this documentation:

46. Sarah says:

    I’m using this plugin along with NextGEN Gallery, but after updating the PayPal buttons are no longer showing up, I’m just seeing the code, for example: [wp_cart:NobleTruthEarrings:price:30:end]

    Any ideas why this stopped working and how to fix it?
    Thanks!
47. admin says:

    @Melissa, You can customize the add to cart button text or use a custom image by configuring it in the settings menu of this cart plugin. Go to the settings and look for a field called “Add to Cart button text or Image”.

    When you have a Spanish version of WordPress installed or configured, it will detect it and use the Spanish language.
48. Melissa says:

    How can I add my own add to cart button instead of the default one? The add to cart button in my blog is a plain gray button. I would like to add my own add to cart button. Can someone tell me if this is possible and how to do it?

    Thanks
49. Melissa says:

    What’s the process of changing the language of the shopping cart? So that clients see the cart in spanish and not in english? I know that spanish language is inside the language folder, but I don’t know how to select that or configure it. Can someone help me?

    Thanks.

    @Laura, Have you used a different product name for the two products? For example: you can call the printed version “My Book – Printed” and the ebook version “My Book – eBook”
