Today we released the 1st BETA version of the Pricing Manager Add-on for GeoDirectory V2.
You can download it from your account area now (v2.5+).
Pricing Manager
(First a quick note about versions:
Pricing Manager (PM) was already bumped to version 2 when it moved to supporting the Invoicing plugin as its payment gateway, so the version compatible with GDv2 is anything over v2.5+)
As with all the v2 add-ons it has been rewritten to have a more modernized code base and have a more solid foundation for future developments.
The goal of the first beta of PM was to retain all v1 functionality and add 1 big feature.
We have streamlined the settings with all packages now under their own respective CPT settings screen.
Only a few main settings are in the new Pricing main settings area.
Also a few new email template settings in the GD Email settings section.
New Feature: WooCommerce Support
The big new feature in PM is the support to be able to use WooCommerce as your payment gateway 🙂
Over the years we have been asked umpteen times if we support WooCommerce and our answer was always, “No, however we have our own lightweight dedicate payment system called Invoicing”
Invoicing will still be our recommend option as it handles all taxes and EU tax calculations out of the box but those who already have WooCommerce installed for other reasons, or are accustomed to using WooCommerce, now they have the option for their listings owners to check out through WooCommerce instead of our Invoicing plugin.
You can have both installed, the Pricing Manager has a setting to select what one to use under the main settings.
Please report bugs in the dedicated forum as usual: https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/forum/prices-and-payments-addon/pmv2-5-beta/.
We hope you enjoy the new Pricing manager and the added value of the WooCommerce integration.
Hi guys,
Just need a quick clarification…
Q1. Are all plugins on https://wpinvoicing.com currently compatible with GDv2?
Q2. Will This Pricing manager v2.5+ working with all plugins on https://wpinvoicing.com?
Please let me know.
Thanks!
Hi Alphonso,
Yes and yes 🙂 This is exactly what we built WPI and why its so great and why it can be used by any dev/project, you just tell it to create an invoice and it will fire off hooks to say its paid/cancelled/refunded and your plugin (PM) can listen for those hooks and perform actions when they are like publishing/un-publishing something 🙂
Thanks,
Stiofan
Hi
I am little disappointed that you did not introduce the membership functionality ( the customer service
assured me in our presale talk that membership will be part of this update )
With Woccomerce integration – will it be possible to set up a package with multi-listings for one single price?
Hi,
we are sorry to disappoint you, however I just checked my previous conversation with you and I can’t find where we would have promised that.
Last time you asked, 8 days ago, we told you the exact same thing.
This is definitely something that we want to add and we will add as soon as possible, but we don’t recall ever promising it would be part of this release.
The WooCommerce integration only allows to use WooCommerce to receive payments and create invoices. Prices are still created through the Price Manager add-on and currently the price manager add-on doesn’t allow to create prices for bundles of listings.
Thanks
Hello Stiofan and Paolo:
1. How long do you estimate before Pricing Manager addon is able to be used on a production site?
2. How long before claim manager and franchise manager addons are released for BETA?
3. When do you estimate that all addons will be ready for production site?
4. If I use the pricing manager addon with WooCommerce processing payments and AffiliateWP plugin installed will I be able to pay my affiliate reoccurring commissions?
1 it depends on number of pepole testing and reporting bugs. Possibly couple of weeks.
2 they are next in line, hopefully by the end of next month both will be out in beta
3 my latest estimate is by the end of the year, maybe few weeks more
4 if you have the AffiliateWP add-on that allows to do so, yes with Woo that should be possible.
thanks
Hi Paolo
Things are well on their way congratulations, Did i read that you are now looking a members payment and access plugin… I had to use membermouse and it doesnt work really with Geo-directory but if it can I will no longer need membermouse and everything will be under geodirectory which will save a lot of money and mucking around.
will this be possible?
Hi,
no we are not turning the pricing manager into a membership plugin, but we could work on a tighter integration between GD, WPI and the Members plugin by Justin Tadlock, however this is not something that will happen in the near future. It’s probably something for 2019. Many of our members use s2member (free) rather than membermouse. There are also other plugins that are compatible.
Thanks
thank you as always
