EasyStore Donation Product Type?!

Hello Joomshaper,

Paid for Easystore and can't use it because of 5 basic missing features - this is feature 2 that is missing.

Nia claims that I should be able to do this with these steps:

It seems that you are looking for donation capability in EasyStore. To set up donation in EasyStore, please try the following steps: Go to the EasyStore admin panel. Navigate to the 'Products' section. Create a new product. Set the product type to 'Donation'. Save the changes.

Only problem is there is no such Product Type or it's invisible?!

HELP ?!

Hi.

Sorry, but this is SHOP component, not Donation component.

But just create a "Donation" product - with free shopping etc.

OR

Use PayPal Donation script (link in Hidden Content) inside Custom Code module.


The main problem is that shop component never will be a real donation component from two reasons: in the donation option are regular payments weekly, monthly, quarterly. One time & Recurring donation! In shop component you have to buy "donation product" each time. Aside from the fact that you can't show other people's progress, how much money the campaign has already raised and how much is still missing. Also, it is worth knowing.


In upcoming plans we will add support of e-products (digital products) which may help you more. Do not forget that EasyStore is new product, and many new features are are ahead of us. That's why there is no Product Type yet.

Thanks for the reply.

But FYI, most every other Shopping Cart component on Joomla supports Donations.

And yes, it is a new product. Perhaps you should have waited for the product to be a bit more mature before publishing it - I love what Joomshaper does but this product feels pretty βeta if I am being honest.

(hug)

Thanks again, Sincerely,

E.

VirtueMart, HikaShop, PhocaCart are on the market for many years. As they are for Donations.... I doubt. Personaly I use different component for Donation purposes to have all needed features.

I know it's a LONG WAY ahead of us, but everyone started one day, even Apple.
