WP-Ecommerce

I am writing this as a warning to people who are thinking of using this plugin. We may have to scrap this and turn to a different solution. Why? For something that seems very simple yet there is no help whatsoever from Instinct or their boards.

The problems:

We set up variations to a product (sizes). All for same price. We also set up a quantity discount on that product (buy 2 or more get them all for $5). This is where this plug that supposedly took 4 years to develop fell apart.

1. The Table Rate Price (quantity discounts) would never stay on the product in the admin. It always resets to 0. Making you reset the up each time you edit the product.
2. The discount only works on products with exact same variations. Meaning if you ordered 5 products with the variation ‘small’ and one in ‘large’ the large would not be given the discount and added into the cart as a separate item at full price.
3. If you change the quantity within the shopping cart at time of checkout it drops the discounts and makes everything go to full price.

It might even be ok if the developers would recognize the issues. But they don’t. There are posts in the forum that date back months asking for help with this flaw with no reply.

Take it as you will. If you don’t need to use discounts & variations then the cart might be fine for you. Otherwise…look elsewhere.
