QuickShop

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.

    This is a fantastic plug-in.
    How is the admin part coming along? I’d like to be able to easily change currency and also the PayPal email (from that of the site default administrator).
    Best wishes.

    @Chris:

    The admin section now has currency changing and Paypal email settings. Thanks!

    Realy cool plugin. I tried to implement it to blog, but have strange bug with prices, esp. shipping. If I set minimum price for which shipping is for free, it appears well on wp blog (zero for shipping), but when I get to paypal system, the shipping is included and the price is different.

  7. Jackson says:

    I’ve followed the instruction on readme setting it up with cforms but after clicking Proceed to Checkout, it didn’t show the order in the order box, is there something i missed?

  8. admin says:

    @shorr

    To do that you need to run your own code which will do the calculating for you. It’s entirely possible to do it using the session data array.

    @zbynek

    Hmm, not good! I’ll work on this asap.

    @Jackson

    You’re the second person with this problem. I’m a little unsure how to fix it as I wasn’t the one who provided the solution. When I get some spare time I guess I’ll do some tinkering.

  9. Jackson says:

    admin,

    I found out that it won’t show only on firefox and safari, it works ok on IE6 . not sure on IE7, strange, hope it helps.

    i’ve switched to wp-gbcf tho cformsii looks better, so trying to make wp-gbcf to look better but im no good at php. :(

    anyway quickshop is the best plugin i came across, it is what im looking for, great job admin.

  10. jay says:

    In wp-admin/Design/Widgets there is no way to remove the Quickshop widget and if you accidentally click it first and then realise you really wanted the PayPal version you have to rem the code on line 340 to get it to quit.
    Am using WP 2.5.1 and QuickShop 1.3.4

    Is there a way to fix this problem? I have the same.

  11. Zach says:

    Jackson,
    I was having the exact same problem with cforms. It turned out that in the javascript at the bottom that inserts the cart info into the field, I had to make the field name all lowercase, as in “yourorder” instead of “yourOrder”.

    Hope this helps!

    Great Plugin!! Especially after much frustration with the messy wp e-commerce.

    You will be getting a certain % of my sales!

    Just wonder, is that a way to utilize the ajax/jquery(or any of the like) effect to load the content of the sidebar shopping cart widget without loading the entire page?
    (and please don’t feel pressured into helping out with suggestion, I will still commit my donation ;) )

    Good luck with your work!

    NICE TOOL

    I just wanted to know what am I doing wrong if the shopping cart does not add shipping to PayPal or – in the opposite – does not apply the free shipping over 30 – and where (in which file) I could change the word postage to shipping and handling? How to use the language customization. I understand that such questions are painful but one can donate, as you request, only after the tool is fully functioning. Don’t you agree?

    Dietmar – with warm greetings from Berlin!

    Hi there,

    Quickshop was recommended for my MU-based site, and after installation, I am not seeing a QuickShop button in the visual editor. Can anyone else confirm the same or provide a fix?

    I am on Version 1.5.1. (MU)

    Thanks for your time, I would love to offer this functionality to my users.

  15. admin says:

    @jay

    You’re using the old version of Quick-Shop.

    @ecchi

    Jquery/AJAX is planned – it’s just quite difficult to implement. I’ll work out a solution eventually!

    @Dietmar

    All fixed!

    @IndieLab

    You’re using the old version of Quick-Shop.

  16. Hi there! I’ve been trying to remove the decimals of the price when it shows in the cart, but without any luck… Any hints? =)

  17. IndieLab says:

    Thanks for the assistance! I am experiencing one more issue.

    When I add the standard shopping cart widget (not the PayPal), and save the changes, I can no longer remove it!

    The edit button disappears on the widget and I have no way to remove the widget. Am I missing something?

  18. IndieLab says:

    Correction…

    If I switch to another sidebar and then back again, the edit option reappears and I am able to remove the widget…

  19. Jackson says:

    Hmm, maybe a little help with drop down? Format? Can’t understand from the readme. lol

  20. Nic says:

    Hey, everyone, please pay the guy.

    There is no such thing as a free lunch.

    Especially for a shopping cart function, meaning you are going to sell stuff right? What is 100$ nowadays?

    He gave me great support and his plugin is great.

    Thanks a bunch Isaac!

    Nic.
