Quick Shop 2.2

Hard on the heels of all the recent updates I’ve made to my plugins, I’ve decided to go and use CFormsII inside the Quick Shop checkout page. This was supposed to have been in 2.0, but didn’t make it in because CFormsII API was broken at that stage.

However, it’s working just fine right now, and is ready for download!

You can see the new form in action at my new plugin showcase, and download the updated plugin from WordPress.org Extend.

QuickShop v2.0

QuickShop has come a long way from its 1.0 days, as you will see when you begin to use this new version!

For all those people wondering why there was such a low level of support, I can tell you:

  • We are NOT being paid to develop this plugin for you – any money we do make and any donations we receive are a mere fraction of the development cost required to put 2.0 up for you
  • Support for any free plugin is a bottom-of-the-heap priority. We provide all plugins with the best of intentions and a sincere desire to help other people out. We are not philanthropic gods though and never aspire to be.
  • We refuse to answer any questions that are answerable A) by the readme orĀ  B) clearly answerable by a quick look in the WordPress admin section
  • Lastly, if the request is phrased in such a way as to appear like it was sent without at least some thought and/or willingness to pay for support or upgrades, it will be ignored.

That being said, Zack Design does read all your bug reports and requests wherever possible and does endeavour to reply or collate them for later. Just remember that courtesy works both ways!

Now that we have all that out of the way, it is time to talk about v2.0!

QuickShop is completely re-written. It has a better inventory manager (everything all in the one place!), a better shipping calculator which addresses the issues previously had, a better product listing and form with better product options, an actual checkout page, extensible payment options (with Authorize.NET to be added ASAP), use of WordPress shortcodes and an auto-tag updater to change all your tags from the old V1 tags to the new V2 tags!

There will be more updates in the near future with QuickShop 3.0 planned with AJAX implementation, internationalization, shopping cart usage improvements, more payment types, and much, much more. Please consider donating if this plugin is good for you, and remember that if you want something, sponsor its development!

Upgrade Notes
==========

Please activate the updater plugin that comes with Quickshop and run it on your blog to fill in your inventory and change all your old tags. Please backup any data in your database before proceeding, and remember to verify all data afterwards!

2.5-ready QuickShop is here!

You can view it running on a live site.

I’ve just created a plugin for WordPress called QuickShop and released it under the GPL. You can find it at WordPress Extend. This plugin installs a Sidebar Widget which shows the items in the cart and allows you to remove them, as well as allowing you to place tags in your posts which generate a form button to add products to the cart.

I have integrated it with the WP-GBCF contact form and more information about that can be found in the README. It inserts the cart contents into the message field with amounts for users to edit. You can also integrate it with other solutions if you like…

If you need the Paypal changed to your currency of choice let me know. I will eventually be providing an admin interface to change the currency, but as of right now you can only change the currency in the code itself.

Need help or want it enhanced? Just contact me! Some people want CFormsII support. I’m afraid that I can’t offer this for free as CForms is a bit more complicated than simple text substitution.

Also, despite running a business, I devote a significant amount of time into this plugin for you, my clients, and myself, and give it to you people for free. If you feel generous you may donate through Paypal, you could link back, or you could ask me to work on your site.
