Hey all, attached is the latest major release of MarketPress, implementing a good list of the most requested features. There was a lot of core changes and gateway changes so wanted to give it a few days in beta in case I missed any major bugs. Have fun, try to test each feature and especially checkouts with the various gateways.
New features:
- Added Cubepoints gateway - Requires the CubePoints plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cubepoints/
- Added eWay Shared Payments gateway
- Add Tax inclusive pricing option
- Add tracking number field to shipping section of Order management
- Add notes field to Order management page
- Add special instructions field option for orders that require personalization
- Skip shipping checkout page for digital only orders
Bug fixes:
- Fix dropdown product category widget
- Fix bug in tax calculation for some countries
- Fix bug in order payment status change to paid

Great news. I was expecting this suggestion to be built in in this release :(
Are there any chances to built this functionality until full release? Some users have +1d this and maybe more users will now..
Thanks,
Kote
Folks, please take a look on this suggestion and provide your ideas about that..
The main idea of this suggestion (except that this is very, very convenient for shop owners) is that user would feel that (s)he is on it's shop's admin panel and not blog's one.
That is awesome, I was looking for a way to add personalization options to checkout so really excited to see that feature in this release!
I have tried searching on the forums for PayPal pro integration - is that still being planned to be added? All of the forum threads I found were from about 8 months ago so wasn't sure if it was still in the works.
Cubepoints looks really interesting, I will have to play around with that later - gives me a lot of ideas for different things I could use that for :)
Google Analytics would be big for me here, as well as integration with the affiliate plugin or some version of the affiliate plugin that's compatible with Marketpress. Any chance those things might make it into this release?
One more idea i would love to see in the plugin.
i want to give the ability for registered user to add products to my "global" store (not having their own sites/stores) and to have one shopping cart. users then will be able to buy those different products and when checking out the payment will go to the Paypal account of the product's owner. i guess the Paypal account detail each user will enter when he register. do i make sense ? i guess something like Ebay ?
hi Aaron,
I meant integration as far as the e-commerce reporting in GA. Maybe I'm confusing this with Membership, but are you saying that the products/checkout will give us e-commerce reporting? (provided we enter the necessary info on the GA side of course) I definitely missed that if it's there.
Just read the features again - sorry for that, I think I was indeed mixing this up with Membership (where it would be awesome to have GA e-commerce tracking as well). Integration with Affiliate would still be amazing though.

i want to give the ability for registered user to add products to my "global" store (not having their own sites/stores) and to have one shopping cart.
That's not how the plugin is designed, and would be fundamental change to core. You can do all you want though with them having their own stores.
Is it possible to detect if a user is a pro sites member?
I'd like to do it so that free members have 10% of their sales go to us but pro site members keep 100%.
That's how it's always worked.
any plan to integrate popular shipping: ups, fedex ?
Yes shipping plugins are next on the list.
Somehow it seems this has turned into a feature request thread intead of beta testing. Has anyone actually tested this?
I am actually testing it with a new project i working on. so far looks great but need todo more testing.
thank you for a great plugin and great support!
I'm not sure if anyone is experienceing this but the default products page which is being output by this version of marketpress seems to be missing the whole marketpress "wrapper" #mp_products_list as well as the .mp_products class. When using this version I loose all custom styling for product pages.
Also I notice that the category metabox display incorrectly. It is missing categories that are showing up on the front end of the site. I think this was mentioned before but I couldn't find the post so I thought I'd mention it because it's pretty big deal.
Strange behavior was theme related. Not sure how or why but a complete reinstall of the theme straightened things out. I wish I could offer up some wisdom as to why this happened but I don't have a clue. If I find the reason I'll be sure to share with the community. Thanks Aaron for jumping in and offering a hand...
Can I ask please, is there any way that my suggestion could be planned for the next update? See here.
Basically, it's to have a kind of system like they use on stock-photo sites, where you buy credits and download using credits. That should accomplish what I have in mind in that post.
A credit system would be AWESOME, because so many of us would be saving big bucks coz our products are quite cheap as it is and users and us keep losing money to payment gateways each time they buy anything... besides it encourages buying... thanks

That's definitely planned, probably in the next feature update. For now though have to go by priority.
Member — 22nd September 2011 (8 months ago) #
That's nice. I will wait confidently than, I was afraid if this suggestion was ignored.
Member — 22nd September 2011 (8 months ago) #
Beta looks good so far. No issues on my sandbox. Loving the shipping tracking number feature already.
Thanks!

Quick question actually, were any changes made to the frontend store.js? No need to get into specifics.

Hello,
johnnymestizo has written about Google Analytics & MarketPress integration and is something planned about it?
Member — 23rd September 2011 (8 months ago) #
New Suggestion:
Can you add product comparing function in order to let visitors compare two, three (maybe more) products with each other, that would be very cool.

Google Analytical has been in there for a very long time, I thunk since 2.1.
Member — 24th September 2011 (8 months ago) #
How about "wish list"? is this coming soon?
and maybe "favorite" button to save favorite sellers or stores .

I'm a buit upset you've added Cube Points, as this has got my mind racing on some new additions to my site, meaning more late nights :o)
Member — 25th September 2011 (8 months ago) #
Is there a way to add the Pro Sites payment to MarketPress?
I'd like to offer users the opportunity to earn Cube Points on my site and then pay for pro site membership with it.
Also, is it possible to place the ability to purchase extra cube points within MarketPress?

+1 to joe's request !
Perhaps move it to a new topic joe..
Great idea

Also There is just one item being returned( without thumbnail) on the default products page... all of this behavior since the 2.2 beta I think..
Lead Developer — 28th September 2011 (7 months ago) #
Do you have a link I can look at? I haven't changed the product list at all.
Member — 28th September 2011 (7 months ago) #
Yikes! this is theme related! I'm on local with the beta stuff unfortunately. I'm doing some digging right now to find... I'll post back shortly.

Hey guys, i've officially released the full 2.2 version. It also adds a eWay Shared Payments gateway.
Don't have plans for credits within MP, a better fit for an external plugin which could easily hook into MarketPress.
