Topic: BitShop - cryptocurrency shopping cart script [PHP/MYSQL] (v1.1.2) - page 37. (Read 74795 times)

Purchased this today from Jacob, I have to say it is a really great script it takes a few minutes to set up and then you're good to go, adding products and pages is very simple - it has a lot of nice simple features, the recently sold products is a very nice touch as is the rating system, fully html support in product descriptions allows you to fully customize the product page and you can even check your order's progress which I think is great!

It also comes with pricing updates straight from Mt.Gox so you get the best pricing possible

I genuinely cannot fault this at all, I've used similar plugins with wordpress and they cannot compare. This tool has a very nice CMS and features which I would say unheard of with similar scripts I've used. Not a lot more I can say, it's the best pricing you will find, anywhere it works exactly as stated and it is genuinely a great tool which I would recommend to anyone selling digital goods, it could also be altered for a physical goods store and would work equally as well

Great job with this Jacob, Cheers!

New and far superior version of BitShop has now been released. If you saw this script before you will know just how far it has come now. See the second post in this thread for a list of changes. I have only just uploaded this new version to my server so if you experience any problems please let me know. Thanks guys.

No the script doesn't include that option but it would be fairly easy to add. I'll think about integrating it into the script because it could prove to be a popular idea.

The most difficult part is finding a good way to release patches and updates to previous customers. Since I'm just selling the source and not license keys it's hard to do.

I suppose what I really should do is add member accounts so that users have a client control panel where they can manage their downloads and check for updates.

Here for example : https://www.coindl.com/page/category/wallpapers

They have a pay what you want button where rather than pay a specific price people can just pay money that they enter in, it would be pretty awesome too if you could have a minimum amount put in as well perhaps but it's something that seems to be popping up around websites lately because people seem to like not just paying a fixed price all the time.

Here's a bit of a read for a little study into the payment method as well : http://www.copyblogger.com/pay-what-you-want-pricing/

I'm not sure what you mean by a "pay what you want option". Can you elaborate.

I wanted to ask, is there a pay what you want option for this SCI?

Eh I don't really care. Having the price fluctuate with the exchange rate helps illustrate how the script works. BTW the exchange rate values are pulled from Mt. Gox using my GoxGrab script (a free script).

Haha, I don't think they'll really care about this script. But what they might care about is the Bitcoin SCI script (which is used by BitShop), since it's free and simply relies on public blockchain.info and/or blockexplorer.com data to confirm transactions. (I no longer maintain the free SCI script and it's probably not safe to use anymore).

Finally! Thanks a lot! Nice to see someone do this!

Bitpay aren't going to be happy with you lol

Looks cool.

Given that $10 is kind of arbitrary and you don't have any marginal costs to speak of it seems like a good time to denominate in BTC directly. The payer won't need to wonder or ask which exchange's rate to look at and you won't have to examine the timestamp and look up exchange data to see if they are short or over.

You could adjust the price if it moves too far from where you want in terms of value, but I'd say that when there is more total value held in coins (high price) the shop code is worth more and less when less. So you might even just pick one BTC price for all time.

Anyway, hope it sells a bunch for you.

Ahhh, the first purchase of BitShop has been made! Thanks to who ever bought it. 

If you need any help with anything please don't hesitate to post your questions here.

Here are some pics of some of the more important sections of admin area. At some point I will create a live demo which lets anyone log into the admin panel use most of the features.

What is BitShop

BitShop is a powerful PHP/MYSQL shop script which allows merchants to easily sell digital items such as software or codes, in return for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. BitShop is the #1 shop script for selling digital goods. It also powers the official BitShop website (screenshot above).

Fast and Simple

The checkout process is designed to be as simple and fast as possible. The buyer will go through an easy checkout process and they will receive the item instantly after the payment is confirmed. Multiple payment gateways, including Coinbase and GoCoin, can be enabled simultaneously.

Flexible and Modular

BitShop is designed with developers in mind. Unlike many other scripts, BitShop is extremely modular and offers developer flexibility. For example new payment gateways can easily be installed as self-contained modules and new themes can also be installed without overwriting other themes.

Dynamic and Responsive

BitShop makes use of the latest in web technology to provide a dynamic and responsive user experience. Built upon Bootstrap 2 and HTML5 Boilerplate, the BitShop script is fast and looks good on any platform. Witness the power of HTML5 and PHP (and a bit of JS and CSS of course).

Bootstrap Template

The default template used by BitShop is built around the Bootstrap 2 framework. If you visit WrapBootstrap or Bootswatch you can get custom made Bootstrap themes. This provides a great way to change the default theme but it's also easy to remove Bootstrap and build a theme from scratch.

Powerful Admin Area

BitShop includes an administration area where it's possible to manage your orders, products, vouchers, accounts, etc. BitShop supports a wide range of different methods for selling digital items such as files, keys, and gift codes. It now also includes basic support for selling physical items.

Regain Independence

The built-in payment gateway is fully customizable and uses multiple public block explorer API's to handle payments. Addresses can be automatically generated on the fly or taken from a custom list. You can also run a bitcoin/altcoin daemon to directly process payments without a 3rd party.
