Introducing Commission King for WP e-Commerce!

Screen-Shot-2013-01-08-at-1.52.50-PM

We’re very pleased to announce the release of Commission King for WP e-Commerce.

Coinciding with the 3.8.10 release of WP e-Commerce, this release has been tested with lots of help from the team at GetShopped.org. They have made some updates in their latest WPEC release especially for Commission King – so you’ll need to be running this latest version.

To celebrate the release, we’re offering $20 off the normal price for the rest of the month – so get it while it’s hot!

Commission King allows you to set up and pay commissions on your WP e-Commerce store.

Once a commission value is assigned to a Product, Commission King tracks all Orders made through your store and prepares a list of pending payments. Commission King is even flexible enough to handle fixed or percentage based commissions.

Integrated with the front-end WP e-Commerce Accounts page, Commission King enables your commission recipients to view their product, commissions, commission history, and update their preferred payment details.

Based on your store’s terms of sale (e.g. non-refundable after 30 days), the commission process can be easily tracked through Pending, Payable, Overdue, Paid and Cancelled. You can even pay commissions directly from Commission King, via cheque, bank transfer, or PayPal!

[Plugin Update] Commission King 1.2.5 for Woo, 1.2.3 for Jigo

Hey guys!

We’ve just released a major bug fix for Commission King for WooCommerce. If you’re using version 1.2.4, you should update asap.

Both releases also include email notification updates – the customer details now come through if you have the option turned on.

We’re working on some pretty major changes for version 1.3 – including the much requested sorting and filtering in the admin interface. We’ve got another feature up our sleeve that you’re going to love – it will open up a whole new opportunity for your store.

[Plugin update] Product Importer Deluxe – 3.2.4

Hi WPEC’ers, the 3.2.4 Plugin update for Product Importer Deluxe adds support for scheduled imports (via cron) as well as additional import methods to extend our ‘merge Product changes’ feature.

Scheduled imports

The scheduled importing feature is ideal for store owners that wish to:

  • maintain very large online catalogues (importing/merging via cron is faster and uses less memory)
  • in-house inventories can be synced through regular automated imports (e.g. every 30 minutes merge stock changes)

Scheduled importing can be configured within your Administrator’s hosting panel (e.g. cPanel) or by contacting your hosting provider for more information, see the Plugin readme for details on the expected URL request format.

New import options

Product Importer Deluxe now comes with three different import methods to control how new Products are imported and existing Products are merged, these are:

  • Import new Products only: Import new Products and do not merge Product changes
  • Import new Products and merge Product changes: Recommended for most store owners
  • Merge Product changes only: Do not import new Products, only merge Product changes

[Plugin update] Wholesale Pricing – 1.7.7

Hi WPEC’ers, the 1.7.7 Plugin update for Wholesale Pricing resolves issues when importing/merging Product changes via Product Importer Deluxe by introducing a new import addons engine.

Here are some sample import rules:

  • ” (empty): Ignore Wholesale Pricing for this User Role, or if merging changes ignore Wholesale Pricing values for this User Role
  • ‘-’ (dash): Disable Wholesale Pricing for this User Role

  • ‘+25%’: Set a mark up of 25% for this User Role
  • ‘-25%’: Set a mark down of 25% for this User Role

‘-’ (dash)

Adding a ‘-’ (dash) character to a ‘Wholesale Pricing – Role(*1)’ column will turn off Wholesale Pricing for that User Role on that specific Product.

(*1) Replace Role with a WordPress User Role; e.g. Administrator, Subscriber, Wholesaler, etc.

(*2) Wholesale Pricing will use the currency formatting from the  local currency; e.g. USD, AUD, EUR, etc.
