hi guys,

To continue our Australian theme, we added both eWay and POLI payment modules and have just completed adding Australia Post to our shipping plugin.

Next up Canada Post.

Thanks and let us know if there’s any other items you think we should have.

SEO friendly URL’s

admin — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 15:44:09 +0000

Due to WordPress AND osCommerce having very different ways to handle URL’s, getting the SEO URL’s set up has been a task all unto itself (translation “a pain in the a###”).

BUT, my main man Isnain never says die, and he is in final testing mode right now and we believe he has cracked it.

Stay tuned.

osCommerce migration service.

admin — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 15:40:00 +0000

We have had a lot of requests from people with existing osCommerce stores asking how to “migrate” all their data / products etc into WP Online Store without having to start again.

So many requests in fact that we are looking into building a migration tool for this. Now this may take a little while as creating an auto tool that can migrate both versions 2.3.1 AND 2.2 seamlessly is a bit of a tall order, but they said that about merging WordPress and osCommerce (i guess we just don’t listen..lol).

So in the interim we are offering a new migration service.
Basically we will migrate all your database, images, products, configuration settings etc from your old OSC site to you new shiny WPOLSD site.

Costs for us to do this are from OSC Vesion 2.3.1 $89.00 and from OSC version 2.2 $135.00 More details…

New Help Center.

admin — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 20:09:55 +0000

Sorry for the flip flopping with the support systems we use (switching forums etc). but we are basically trying to get you the best support system we can as we really want to offer good support for our product.

That being said, we will be discontinuing the use of the Zend Desk ticket system on Thursday Nov 10th. it will be replaced by the feature rich Kayoto Help Center which has a ton more cool features like live chat and remote PC access (in case we need to fix your issues remotely).

The new system is already running on the site and can be viewed here: http://www.help.wponlinestore.com/

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Physical & virtual products

admin — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 01:27:25 +0000

WP Online Store not only lets you sell regular physical products. But also allows you to sell virtual / downloadable products.

This means you can sell subscriptions, digital products (music, video, ebooks), and even services easily. All products are provided instantly via a link after payment.

You can even specify how many times the product can be downloaded by the customer.
