FlipFlop 3.0eShop version 3 coming soon
Small changes aside there are quite a few larger changes for this release, hence the version number bump.
These changes start with the adding of a new payment option – for people in Sweden! (and elsewhere) This is currently in the final stages of testing and may open the doors to other payment methods being added in the future. This also meant a change to the Checkout page, so that now features a new Pay Via section.
Adding this meant that the settings page had to be redesigned, so its now split over several pages.
At the request of a few people I’ve added a text field after the State/County/Province select list. This meant adding a new default zone option on the shipping page for those that ship via ‘State/County/Province’.
Stock control within eShop has always been of minor importance, and is not as fully featured as some would like (sorry but its still per product, and per option) but the cart now checks against stock levels. This is a long standing bug, well ok i forgot to code it before…
I’ve added in a new setting to specify where the Continue Shopping link can link to, allowing you to enter the shop page rather than eShop linking back to the site home page.
After much thought, and coding another plugin, I’ve changed the way eShop allows access to its admin pages. Most people won’t notice a change, but if you have the Role Manager plugin installed, it is now compatible with that.
There are also new widgets available, so products can now be displayed in your side bars.
Finally, the default eShop style has been completely rewritten. This will not affect existing sites.
Release date is soon.

Hi !
I need to use your eShop-Plugin. But i need it in German.
If you have a german-translation it would be kind, if you could send me this.
If not i could translate eShop into german.
I also need an extension to eShop. I need a Newsletter module, to send newsletters to alle my customers.
Are there any way to implement this shortly ? I could pay for this or i send you the german translation (if i have made this) and some other changes to made eShop more internationale.
regards
ralf
I’ve never been sent any translation, so feel free to make one. If you think some changes need making to the scripts, then please let me know so I can try and integrate them.
I’ll email you re the newsletter.
Hi!
I want to make a wordpress shopping website, and I use your eshop, it’s nice. I would like to translate to Chinese. I save .po to eshop_zh_TW.mo, put it in the eshop plugin folder and reload page. Nothing happend. Can you help?
It should be stored in the plugin directory, but the name should be zh_TW.mo format – providing that code is correct and matches your current language setting.
Is there any way for eshop to take Google Checkout
Simple answer – No. Sorry.
Longer answer – when they release some more api’s it may be possible but without a secure server they don’t like people using their checkout process. Which is why I’ve currently staryed away from it. But with the release of eShop version 3 it has opened up the possibility of looking at google checkout again at some point in the future.
Got it. I will try. Thanks rich.
upon activation eshop threw up a page called Shipping Rates in my page bar. Not seeing a way to change that out or remove it completely.
…and now after deactivation it adds every single e-shop page into my page bar.
went to manage>pages and yanked them manually. i just uninstalled it, so i may reinstall and see if simply removing the pages from the manage section will take care of it.
That’s correct – eshop adds some pages, but also hides some of them from public view. hence when you deactivate or uninstall they will show up.
eShop won’t delete those pages, you have to do so manually – this is just in case you added content to those pages which I’m sure you’d rather not lose.
Great plugin :D
But I can’t get the store to send out any download codes for products. In Orders it keep saying Processing… and that’s it. Nothing ends up in my inbox and I haven’t got a clue what’s wrong.
Would be grateful for a little assistance, please :)
Why does it keep saying that my shopping cart is empty even though i already added an item? this happens when i try to checkout
It’s a session issue – usually caused by a settings problem with your hosting company. Might be worth checking with them to see if they can help.
I’ve replied via email to Christa.
Hi,
I’m testing your Eshop with WordPress and I find it easy and smooth to implement.It works well :)
I have a question:
It seems to me that the only way to upload products and images associated with them is making pages. this is OK but a bit slow.
To speed up the process, I wanted to upload directly data in the database but i saw with surprise that the product table is empty and all is contained in a rather messy way in thre post metatable.
How so?
thanks in advance
Uploading images can be done via the media section I believe, but for eshop to recognise them they would have to be attached to a post/page.
Product data is attached to a page likewise, hence the best table to store the data is the postmeta table
Hi,
Ralf alreadfy mentioned it.
Is there any german translation for the eshop? Even if it would be just the frontend it would be great.
Please tell me id there is something.
Regards,
Kai
I don’t have a copy of the German translation, sorry.
how to make produc
Does this offer 2co as a checkout option or can it be added ?
That’s being added in shortly.
Can you add the ability for each product to have a hidden field? My client’s paypal only accepts hosted products/buttons. In the code, the only difference is a
hosted_button_id="00000000"hidden field in the form.Let me know if my question isn’t understandable. My test install is in http://crystal-healing.the47.net/
Thanks!
Sorry, just checked code, also has another hidden field associated.
Hi There
I am also desperately looking for an integration with 2Checkout. If you can do that, your plugin will be just about the only one that caters for 2Checkout as there are no other really viable ones out there.
Pretty please – can you guys make this a priority? I am sure that some people will even be prepared to pay for this!
Thanks
Joan
it’s on the todo list ;)
