Very special request ;-)
Having a compnay in Monaco, I need to have sales tax added for Monaco AND France.
At the moment I can only chose for Monaco OR France :-(
So, selecting more tax countries, like the states in the USA would be brilliant :-D
Thx
Will it be easy to implement a total discount on whatever the cart total is… for example if I wanna give 10% discount till mm dd yy… then I specify 10 in flat rate area or something similar !!
I have accomplished this by adding custom function to \plugins\wp-e-commerce\wpsc-includes\cart.class.php
these are the functions:
function wpsc_total_before_shipping($forDisplay=true) {
global $wpsc_cart;
$total1 = $wpsc_cart->calculate_subtotal();
if($forDisplay){
// exit(’abksd’.get_option(’add_plustax’));
return $wpsc_cart->process_as_currency($total1);
}else{
return $total1;
}
}
function wpsc_discounted_price($forDisplay=true) {
global $wpsc_cart;
$total2 = $wpsc_cart->calculate_subtotal();
$total2 -= $total2 * .15; // 15% discount applied
if($forDisplay){
// exit(’abksd’.get_option(’add_plustax’));
return $wpsc_cart->process_as_currency($total2);
}else{
return $total2;
}
}
function wpsc_cart_grand_total($forDisplay=true) {
global $wpsc_cart;
$total = $wpsc_cart->calculate_subtotal();
$total -= $total * .15; // 15% discount applied
$total += $wpsc_cart->calculate_total_shipping();
if($forDisplay){
// exit(’abksd’.get_option(’add_plustax’));
return $wpsc_cart->process_as_currency($total);
}else{
return $total;
}
}
and to send the discounted price to paypal correctly I changed line #137 in \plugins\wp-e-commerce\merchants\paypal_multiple.php to this:
$data['amount_'.$i] = number_format(sprintf(”%01.2f”, ($paypal_currency_productprice -= ($paypal_currency_productprice*.15))),$decimal_places,’.',”);
And if its not too much trouble can we have a SINGLE “update quantity” button on the checkout page rather than having a button each for each product.
Thanks a lot Instinct team :)

Shouldnt be a problem for the next next release.
“6. Stock claims are now cleared when the cart is emptied”
Does that mean that the issue with items being “out of stock” even when the item is just added to the cart then removed is fixed?
Yes, it does, though please test this version to make sure it works for you.
what if,
the user could select a wp-e-commerce theme per category or group?
i.e.
Group A : uses ishop
Group B: uses Marketplace
that would make the customization nearly limitless :-)
I think a better way of doing this would be to have templates that could be applied to categories or products, theoretically this should be relatively simple to do.
We will probably add this into 3.7.6.
That would be awesome Tom. Cheers.
How about making the plugin compatible with qTranslate plugin?
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/qtranslate/
It would be nice that customers could choose which language the WP e-Commerce is displayed on the website while shopping.
It would be perfect in Countries with several common languages.
Thank you for the amazing work!
I think this is a good idea – I’m not sure what would be involved yet.
Does qtranslate have an API or a documentation page for other developers?
There is a forum and some installation guides and such on the authors web page http://www.qianqin.de/qtranslate/
Thank you in advance!
Thanks for continuing to release this and making improvements. I’ve just begun testing with it recently for a number of projects and its very promising, Thanks again!
Thanks Oscar :)
The Plugin has come a long long way in the last 12 months. We’ve put a lot of work in, so I really hope that it works out for you!!
How difficult would it be to use this as a request for quote system? I’d need users to be able to select quantities of products and variations as they would a shopping cart but there would be no prices displayed. Once they’d selected everything they’d submit a request for quote which would be emailed to the account manager.
I’ve only just started looking at the plugin for another project and it’s very impressive! Well done Dan and team!
hmm interesting, It wouldn’t be the first time someone has used the plugin for use other than online shops, Basically I believe you can achieve it by a. removing the prices from display, and b. Using manual payment, then your purchase logs and email receipts will need amending (which could be the tricky part)

Hi Dan,
I have been searching for your affiliate program because we would like to join and promote Instinct Entertainment WP E-commerce solutions. Where can I get a link to join?
Many thanks,

Some comments about the last version:
I would like to hide “settings” and “upgrades” to editors (I’ve already purchased Gold Cart). ¿Is it possible?
When I upload several images to a product, and try to edit the first one, the edition menu shows up behind the other thumbs. I can’t see the options.
Congratulations for your awesome plugin.
¿How about products tag support? You can set your product tags, but they don’t show up in the product page.
I’m still getting requests for images to be displayed like this on the single products page:
http://www.shopnastygal.com/products/vintage/clothing/dresses/Time%27s-Up-Sweater-Dress.html
So that when you hover over the thumbnails, the large picture is replaced.
Besides being happy about the availability of this plugin, if we want to have a say… like telling you about bugs and reporting issues. Do you have a specific bug tracking DB or place where we can report bugs and other issues we’re having with this?
Also, what about a wishlist feature? Many other shopping carts have this. What do we think?
We’ll get there one day – but hopefully somebody else will make it in the meantime :P
How about permalinks for product tags?
Permalinks work for product categories but I just see “?ptag=xxx” in product tag pages.
I upgraded the plugin to 3.7.5 and now none of my categories display anything, it just cycles back to the main shopping categories page. Anyone have any suggestions? My shop is down now and I don’t know what to do.
Email dev@instinct.co.nz with FTP and WP Admin access. It is not a normal thing to experiance…
I’m finding the same problem – any ideas?
