MarketPress – WordPress eCommerce

The WordPress eCommerce plugin is a Lite version of a premium plugin from MarketPress. I’m rather put off by this. It won’t do everything I need it to do so I’ll have to upgrade to the full version and have to spend money. It could be worthwhile.

Installation

Initially easy to install the basic plugin, but then it suggested I install one of their plugins at http://premium.wpmudev.org/wpmu-dev/update-notifications-plugin-information/ I held out for a while as obtaining the plugin required me to sign up. Then when I installed the plugin I got a giant banner… that needed dismissing… but it will appear again in a month’s time. Then it went on about my free API key. A bit too IN YOUR FACE for me.

Configuration

Again, fairly easy… but the Payment options on the Lite version are limited. I could only choose Manual Payments and PayPal Express Checkout.

Comments

I was using the out of the box Twenty Ten theme. I had at least three problems:
  1. Order status display was all wrong. It appeared to be repeated and incorrectly positioned… as if the shortcode had been programmed incorrectly.
  2. Using the Manual payment method produced a message saying “Whoops, looks like you skipped a step! Please go back and try again.”
  3. Clicking on the store status link displayed more “rubbish” as in 1. and a Contact us link pointing to http://mysite.com/contact

Conclusion

Try another one.
