Question - Lets say i get your add-on. At ANY POINT do the users have to leave my site to another domain?

Yes. For transactional pages that require SSL for security or PCI (payment card industry) compliance, the user is taken to a new page. The checkout page is an example of a transactional page that requires SSL (a secure socket layer).

You can check out the experience at any of our partner sites. Go here:
Porsche marketplacehttp://www.planet-9.com/classifieds.php
Click on any item. Click the "Buy Now!" button. You will see that we take the user to a secure page that is not hosted on your domain but references your domain.

Darn.

Looks like you have a great product. Credit card use online is dropping while paypal/google is rising and have secure payment (On Page) transactions. i would buy your product if users didn't have to leave my the website they were purchasing on.

Best of luck

Thanks for your kind words about our marketplace mod.

For the sake of clarity, we have the same 'on page' experience as PayPal or Google. If you don't have a SSL cert, you can't offer 'on page' check out. In the same way you might offer a PayPal powered 'check out' button and that button takes you to a new secure page, we too offer a 'check out' button that takes you to a new cobranded page. Google, PayPal, and we HAVE to do that in order to encrypt the payment information. If you have an SSL cert - that is another story.

Awesome news. Enthusify shipped a bunch of frequently requested features today. We warmly welcome version 2.0.1 of the marketplace plugin for vBulletin.

New features include:

• When an item sells, the plugin updates the thread version of the listing with a 'sold' status.
• When a seller edits a listing, the plugin updates the thread version of the listing with the new information.
• A buyer's email receipt from a purchase now includes the seller's email address.
• There is now a point-and-click way to redirect the 'Post New Thread' button of any subforum to the plugin.
• The plugin can now route a listing to a designated subform based on the category the seller assigned to the listing.
• Significant 'under the hood' changes should eliminiate the need to update 'classifieds.php' in the future.
• An option to reorder categories.
• And more. Find more details in the changelog.

Paypal does have an on page checkout now, Any chance if you guys can mod a version to use this method I would be very interested in purchasing, my filmmaking community is looking for a for sale section badly

We will see what we can do. We desire to move as much functionality under the vBulletin umbrella as possible while keeping the system PCI (payment card industry) compliant. The issue is the triangulation between the vBulletin platform, SSL, and browsers.

Today we are excited to release a massive update to the Enthusify marketplace plugin for vBulletin. Below find a list of 35 new features and fixes. A major thanks goes out to the thousands of buyers and sellers who use the tools and give us a steady flow of feedback. Thanks also to the many forum owners who tell us how we can help them improve service, grow revenue, increase engagement, and eliminate disputes.

Want to take the plugin for a test drive? Download it here and email info@enthusify.com for an activation code.

To do this, they need to authorize a valid credit card.
This is reflected in all the communication buyers and sellers receive surrounding a listing.
*) If a thread is generated for a new listing, the success page will now link to the newly created thread.

We are looking at this product as it looks very nice and you guys have been great with keeping it up to date.

Question regarding profits... I need a bit more clarification on how conmission is being collected here. Examples

If a members decides to place an item for sale and chooses to collecte via paypal only do you guys charge a fee for that transaction since paypal is already chargeing a fee?
If a member chooses to sell an item and only accepts CC like Visa and discover how does he get paid once the buyers pays with his CC and does that cost the seller 10% of the sale for you
Guys to process that payment for them? Out of the 10% we (the forum owner) gets 5% of that correct?

Just trying to figure out the overall expense because if the seller only accepts Visa and how much does this end up costing the seller, can you give a break down on the fees

Seller is selling an item for $100 and only accepts paypal ?

Seller is selling an item and only accepts major CC card?
How does the seller get paid?
What are the charges to process and sell the $100 item
When does the seller get paid?
What is the refund process and what protection does the buyer have?

To put the following answers in context I should note one thing first. At this time, the Enthusify plugin just has a "final value fee" revenue collection/generation feature. Listing fee and promotion fee features are coming soon. In fact if you visit one of our partners today, you are bound to see us testing those forthcoming features.

If a members decides to place an item for sale and chooses to collect a buyer's payment via PayPal, Enthusify does not charge the buyer or seller a fee for that transaction. The seller creates the listing for free. The buyer pays the listing price to the seller via PayPal. PayPal collects their fees.

If a member chooses to have Enthusify collect, verify, and transfer the buyer's payment to the seller, then the seller will incur Enthusify's 3% final value fee and whatever fee you the forum owner add to that. Let's say you want to collect 2% from every successful transaction, then, when a seller sells a $100 item, the seller will get $95, Enthusify will get $3 (most of which goes to credit card interchange fees, and the forum owner will get $2.

Enthusify transfers the seller's $95 to the seller via PayPal (fee free), check, or direct deposit.

Seller will get: $96.80

Seller will get: $97.00 (assuming the forum is NOT charging a surcharge)

If the seller wants Enthusify to collect and verify payment, Enthusify transfers the buyer's payment to the seller via PayPal (fee free), check, or direct deposit.

See above.

See above.

If a seller collects payment from a buyer via PayPal, Enthusify does not offer any dispute resolution service or protection.

If a seller collects payment from a buyer via Enthusify's payment processing service, then Enthusify offers dispute resolution and full refund protection for up to 14 days. A buyer can extend the 14 day protection period by notifying Enthusify that there is an issue. You can review our terms of service (see section 11) to learn how we handle different kinds of disputes that may arise.

Bug fixes:

1. Fixed a conflict with the plugin ?The Image Resizer? that prevented the ?Buy Now? button in the thread post versions of the listings from connecting a buyer to the checkout page.
2. Fixed a bug where the ?list view? and ?grid view? buttons sometimes didn?t work
3. Fixed a bug that impacted the loading location of 'lightboxes' for rare browser/screen resolution situations.
4. Fixed a bug that asked some sellers to connect their PayPal account even if the seller was not using Enthusify to collect, verify, and transfer payment.
5. Fixed a rare rounding error in ?Item Has Sold? emails that sellers receive.
6. Fixed an issue that was blocking the thread post versions of seller's listings due to title limits, image upload limits, or character limits.
7. Fixed an issue that was placing the thread post versions of seller's listing in the moderation queue by the built-in vBulletin moderation filters. This fix does not necessarily address moderation filters from third-party plugins.

New features:

1. You can now subscribe to automatic updates for future releases of the Enthusify vBulletin plugin. Today, if Enthusify releases a feature with tight vBulletin integration, it often requires a vBulletin admin to update the plugin. With the auto update feature, you automatically get the latest version of the vBulletin plugin and always benefit from the latest features and bug fixes. With this enhancement, Enthusify can now deploy features you requested to more tightly integrate the marketplace into vBulletin without any administrative overhead on your part.
2. We added a toggle to the ?Enthusify Settings? to allow you to opt out of Automatic Updates.
3. We added a link in the ?Listing Details? to the corresponding thread for that item in the forum.
4. New users can now hit ?enter? to connect their account once they submit their email. Previously a user had to click the continue button with a mouse click.
5. We increased account registration security. We eliminated a feature that allowed a member of two forums on the Panjo network to connect his/her account without email verification. The lack of an email verification step could have resulted in a nefarious user finding a way to compromise a seller's listings.
6. The Postbit link option in the ?Enthusify Settings? has been significantly improved.
7. The "Items for sale" link in a member's postbit template only displays if a member has an item listed for sale in the marketplace.
8. Existing sellers will need to cancel, mark as sold, sell an item, or list something new for sale in order for their link to activate.

Please keep your input coming. We love delivering the features you request.

"Good news everyone."

Guys sincerly reading your installation guide, i don't know what to think...
Why you ask to disable the vbulletin protections???
And why the plugin doesn't work of default in https??????????????????????

These are your instructions to install the plugin:

Disable The Apache Module Mod_Security

Symptom:

You are getting a message when creating or managing your Panjo marketplace that says:
There was a problem getting your forum info.



What is causing this?

There are a few potential causes of the above problem, but in 95% of cases, it is because you are running an apache module called “Mod_security” which is known to cause problems with vBulletin. (For this reason, Internet Brands, the developers of vBulletin, have even created a diagnostic tool to detect the more serious issues caused by this module.)

What is this module for?

The short answer is that it exists as a backup for insecure code on your site. vBulletin is secure by default. An example for potentially insecure code would be custom code written by inexperienced vB developers.

Here is a link with a more thorough answer:
http://www.inmotionhosting.com/suppo...s-it-important

How do I disable this module?

In most cases, the module has been enabled by your vbulletin hosting company and can only be disabled by them. You will need to contact them to get this resolved.

In some cases, you may be able to disable it with cPanel. Here is a link that can walk you through that if that option is available: http://www.inmotionhosting.com/suppo...bers/406-error

Alternatively, you may be able to disable it by modifying your .htcaccess file. Here is a link that can help you with that. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...-htaccess-file

However, we strongly recommend that you contact your host, since the cPanel and .htcaccess solutions have not worked for sites where the module was enabled by the host.

How will my forum be affected if I disable it?

It protects against a certain type of vulnerability if the developer writing the code on your server (vB devs or plugin coders) don't know how to make it safe. It has the unfortunate side effect generating false positives and blocking some secure scripts. If it's gone it will stop doing both of these things. This generally only matters to you if you're running insecure, custom code.
Other Recommendations

1. Make sure your site-clock is accurate.

Time-zone does not matter, but if we make a request at 5:09pm PST and your site says its currently 5:45pm PST, the request will fail.

2. Make sure the plugin is accessible to logged-out users.

The plugin is located at your forum root. (Example: http://www.yoursite.com/classifieds.php)

The reason for this is that our servers will be treated like logged-out users and can’t communicate with the plugin if a login is required for that page.

3. Make sure that cURL is enabled.

4. The plugin will not work if https is enabled site-wide.

The Panjo plugin operates in an iframe and needs to have a certificate FTP’d into your site for HTTPS to work on it. Unfortunately, certificates have to be renewed regularly, which makes it unfeasible for us to implement at this time.


I'm a little bit confused...

We are excited to share that we redesigned the Panjo classifieds plugin for vBulletin thanks to the input of forum owners and the millions of buyers and sellers who use the service.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1412200850

Someone delete all my/our posts. great.

what happened? Can you please email me at chad@panjo.com?

No one deleted your post, you posted in this mod, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=300901

Ahh ok, sorry..
because I loose many time to write to the Panjo's developers.

Panjo has released an update to its vBulletin classifieds mod. You can find details on the Panjo blog.

Highlights:
- A "Your Account" link has been added to Marketplace Tools dropdown.
- This new "Your Account" page allows users to connect their PayPal account to become a Panjo Verified Seller, view/edit additional account information, and view Marketplace stats.
- The "Your Listings" page UI has been refreshed to make it easier for users to edit listings, close listings, and mark items as sold.
- Users can close or mark multiple items as sold and tab between items "For Sale" and "Sold.

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to let you guys know that we pushed out a bunch of great improvements to the Panjo vBulletin classifieds mod. These improvements DO NOT require updating the plugin. Here are some highlights:

- pressing "Back" in the marketplace will not result in users having to reset their sort & filter settings.
- we fixed an issue where certain pages were resizing incorrectly
- some users reported problems on the receipt page after making a purchase. Those issues have been fixed.
- there is a typo on some listings that use calculated shipping that would read "TDB" instead of "TBD." New listings will now show "TBD" correctly.

You can read about all of our new updates in this blog post.

Massive update to the Panjo marketplace plugin. Tons of long requested features are now available. See: http://www.panjo.com/partners
