This is a very nice mod. I had to disable it though as I had a member order 5 physical items. On paypal it was showing as a qty of 1, but the dollar amount was correct. Is that a bug or just possibly a setting I have that is off? I couldn't find anything and the invoice wasn't generated.

The detail of the order should be in the invoice system.

In AdminCP -> microCART -> Edit Invoices

Then select 'View Invoice' on the Invoice of choice.

If you get a blank page, the fix for that should be here at some point over the weekend.

Thanks, but I like using the paypal notice email as my invoice. Is there a way to send the correct quantity to PP? I know cartplog does it and that works well. I like all the features you have better and I suppose I can live with going to the invoice section, it would just be nice to have both options.

This is not posible at this time but when a mamber orders more than one item the item title at the payment part of paypal will show some thing like this.

test 2, test 2, test 2, test 2, test 2,

as you can see here i have ordered test 2 5 times,
hope this helps you for now.

Yes, that does help. Thanks.

Great mod, thanks... love all the options, micro seems to be a bit of an understatement.LOL..

Hello, what did the update today fix/change?

Thanks!

No update today, as of yet.


EDIT: My Mistake... Just saw the update file 220111a Michael just did not post about the update..

So, it may fix what is listed on the previous page

I'm seeing this when a member is in the cart area, on the who's online page as well as their profile page.

Ill fix this and let you know, but for now you can change this yourself here is how.

Login to admincp->Plugins & products->plugin manager

Look for Product : microCART

edit the online_location_unknown
find
replace with your own text for now.

Does this mod support coupon codes? For example, if the user enters a code they get a discount for x product/s or all products that ends on x date.

If there is no support for that, will there be in the future?

Thanks!

I'm obviously not the developer, but the newest version I have loaded supports adding a coupon for a specific product, not a general overall coupon.

It is either active or inactive and will keep a count of how many times it's been used.

It doesn't look like it currently supports an effective / expiration date for coupons. Nice idea though. You could have holiday sales and promotions.

I like the idea of adding an expiration date for coupons and will sort this out.

Any plans to add plugins for different shipping APIs?

I'm particularly interested in seeing US Postal Service API integration. This is one thing I loved in OSCommerce and would love to see here as well.

Hi All, I just purchased the commercial version of this Microcart. WOW!! This is a great program and you can see that the developer spends a lot of time creating it and maintaining it. It is loaded with features and works awesome.

Please show your support too. If you don't want to purchase the commercial version, at least send the guy donations. I can't imagine all the hours and skill it takes to do this. We have to support the programmers.

Thanks Michael. Great Job!

Thankyou so much for supporting me with this and yes it has taken alot of my time to get this working the way i want it to.

What are the differences?
What should have been fixed in this 220111a realase?
I still don't get Paypal updates to my invoices...

I have tested and tested the paypal API and its all working.
Have you got fsocket installed on your site as this does need this to make the call to paypal.

how can I check?

Would this expain why customers do not recieve the emails defined in ' System Messages'?

if your system cannot use the fsocket them it cannot get the responce from paypal to say that payment is complte, so the email will not be sent as the cart thinks that the payment is still pending.
Open a support ticket with your server and ask them if they would install the fsocket server for you, im sure they will do this for you.

I cant figure out how the shipping works. I have multiple products and some cost WAY more to ship than others to ship. Also, if I only list 1 item for sale, can I get rid of the drop down menu that shows 1-10?

Standard shipping for most items on my site is between 3.99-6.99. I sale a few items that are $50-$75 per item, to ship. I need to know how to do this so my customer doesnt pay $6.99 for an item that costs me $70

If you use the stock level this will stop them from being able to buy more than the amount you have put in the stock level for that product.

Lets say i have product 1 and i have 3 to sell but when a member gets to the checkout they see they have the oprion to add upto 10.
So they choose 5 but the stockleve will only let them buy the 3 as thats all there is in stock.

Hope this helps you understand how the stocklevel works.

As for the shipping costs the best way would be to do something like this.

delivery Locations say we put
UK

Then in the options you have sub level and add
UK North enter in the info you want.
UK South enter in the info you want.

Then when a user goes to the checkout they choose where they are and you get the shipping costs added to the products.

so if the shipping was setup something like this
Zone Name | B-Weight | B-Fare | E-Weight | E-Fare
UK SOUTH 2 4.00 3 8.00

Shipping will = $12.00 if the product weight is 5

so I cant setup where a product that costs $75 to ship and the others that only cost $6 are billed accordingly? Way too confusing trying to figure out how this system you have in place is, if my customer selects the wrong options he pays only $6 for a $75 item to ship.

I think I have figured it out, now i need to find shipping info for all states/countries.

Cool, can you explain it to me? What's to stop the customer from choosing the wrong shipping zone and not getting charged correctly? Is there a way to calculate shipping based on the shipping location so that the system chooses the correct shipping methods to choose from?


In other words, If I have different zones set up. One for each US state and each US state has a specific charge. How does the system know to only show shipping options for their state?

The user on checkout will choose there state that they live in then the system will get the shipping costs for that state and adds this to the total price.

If a user chooses the wrong state then they might not get there product as it would not be going to the right place.

I'm thinking... you would deny that invoice which would show up in their 'my account' details.

in the notes above, I see this - NEW!! Since version 1.0.6 supports Auto Shipping calculation.

What does this mean? I am having to go and figure out shipping rates to all states/countries and that is a pain in the rear.

Yes you will have to put in the shipping costs to begin with but then when a use chooses a state it will charge them from the state they have entered.

Viewing/Printing invoices:
- I copied my own logo to the /microcart/pdf/images/ directory and called it logo.gif
- I added logo.gif to the general options
- my logo doesn't show up

- Is there a way to change the background pattern on the invoice - I'd like a plain white background?

Thanks

So you are saying I still have to go in and enter rates for each state/country, correct?

If so, what is "AUTO SHIPPING CALCULATION"?

So far so good.... Clicked Install!

Thanks for all of your hard work. I'll give this a test run and if all is well I might be sending in a donation.

when someone buys a real product and you have the weight in it will work out the shipping costs from there location and the weight of the product.

I did post an example in a post a page or so back.

Just wondering... How would I go about creating a sidebar for this so it would display a pre-selected number of items that are available? The link in the Navbar is good but it's a bit obscure for the users on my site. They are not very internet savy. I'd like it to be known that I'm selling stuff other than in a forum post every so often.

Also, how about a vbAdvanced module?

I will be making a side block for this to show the latest products within the shop system.

As for vbadvanced would take some time before i make one for this system.

When someone buys from the E-shop via Paypal and is successful, the invoice is marked as PAID by the system however, the buyer does not receive the email confirmation. By the way, the same thing happens if they pay offline although the invoice remains as UNPAID (correctly).

Is this caused by the Fsocket problem?

I have root access to our server and I can install it myself but is there any way I can check whether it is installed first or whether this is a problem with the cart?

Regards, Jeff.

this would be a GREAT addition to this script/software.

Hi and thanks for a fantastic product. I would like to know if this product could handle event tickets sales. I would like to sell tickets for various organisers and they would have events up and down the country.
I'm guessing that the member would log in pay for the ticket and have a copy sent by email... can this product do that please?
Also I would like to buy a copy of this software but can't find it for sale on your commercial site. Can you help me with that too?
Thanks :)

hi micheal,

an issue of the stock level ...

- if the amount of my stock of a product is 3
- when i add the product into my cart, then at the beginning I got 1 in my cart
- if I want to buy the product 3 times, so I did choose the amount to 3, but it change automatically back to 1. The maximum number I can choose is 2
- then I have to go to the products details and add the last one into my cart. This is the only way to get the last one. But in my cart, the product list will be shown like in the picture.

How can these 2 problems be fixed ?

I know, my english is terrible.

Hi micheal,

More questions :) . I think it is very useful if the admin can print the invoice of each transaction in the admincp. Is it possible, that you'll add the option "view PDF" into the action field?

I live in Germany and we have ? ? ? and we use Euro ....

if I look at my invoice in the frontend in my account, the Euro symbol and "M?nchen" is shown as in the issue2.jpg.

in General Options of microcart .. my charset is "utf-8" ... there was no problem withe the charset when I use microcart 1.1.1.


greeting
Hoan
