WP Shop

This is the first part of creating a software for small businesses.

The WP Shop originally created at the start of this year has seen a full rewrite and should be available for a re-release on 18th October. The shop plugin will be a full ecommerce product with a link to Paypal. However, development will take place to include other payment providers.

The shop features:
Runs in Wordpress 2.0.x (possibly working on it running in 1.5)
Paypal payment Gateway (with development for others planned)
Three ways to present stock
Add options (e.g. Black cap, white cap, green cap)
Link relevant products together
Create as many images as required

Future work:
Prepare plug-in for other payment gateways.
Namespace and incompatibility tests with other than the default plugins of Wordpress 2.0.4 (akismet, dbbackup and hello dolly)
Include shop urls in url-rewrite procedure.
Preparing a wordpress release of the shop as a package.
Extend the plugin to store customer details.
Extend the plugin to include the facility to send mailouts.
Extend the plugin to encompass stock control.
Extend the plugin to encompass customer/supplier billing and contact details etc.

  1. I uploaded the plugin, went to activate, just got several columns of code, couldn’t activate.

  2. Hi,

    Your WP Shop plugin looks very interesting and with some great features.

    However, I tried to install it this morning and it appears to be broken.

    It dumps huge amounts of code in the Plugins admin page and even though you can still see the ‘activate’ key, when clicked it produces the following:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/account/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wpshop/functions.php on line 821

    I would really like to get this plugin working if possible, so if you have any advice it would be much appreciated.

    Thanks :)

  3. Hi,
    the file “patches/update_1.9.sql”, has some typos.
    On line 17 and 23, you appear to have forgotton to replace “wp_” with “%prefix%” for the table name.
    Your db as well as others are probably defaulted to “wp_” so you would not have noticed.
    I am giving it all a trial now, will let you know how it goes.
    Thanks in advance

  4. Hi again,
    an ammendment, the hardcoded “wp_” apears to be throughout the site, also all files are lowercase but some form post and link urls call for uppercase files, my server complains, some others may not.
    wpshop_page=Products” to “wpshop_page=products”

  7. Wondering if the “Add options” feature also allows you to increase or decrease the original item price. For example if a cup costs $15, you can add a matching coaster for and extra $5.

  8. Hi

    The add options allow you to do exactly what you are saying. For example. Say I was selling a white basketball cap. The cap costs £5. I could add options to offer the cap in a variety of colours all for an extra £2. Or I could offer a bade embossing service for an extra £10. So in your example you will offer the cup for $15 and an option is to purchase the coaster for an extra $5.

    Hope that helps. Watch out for the new plugin coming soon
