What does DukaPress mean?
‘Duka’ is the Swahili word for shop. Loosely, DukaPress means “shoppress”. We like to think it means the most complete and usable e-commerce solution for wordpress, though.
Why aren’t pictures showing?
Please read this first: We live in a bad world.
Unfortunately, for security reasons, web hosts sometimes disable timthumb from working. This is the script that handles images in DukaPress. To fix this, kindly ask your webhost to allow timthumb to work. All the good webhosts will do this for you in two minutes!
If the above fails, then:
- Make sure that the Cache folder inside DukaPress is write-able by the server otherwise the images will not show up correctly. Here’s how to do this.
- Tests show that your images will not show properly until you save your DukaPress settings the first time. This is because ‘saving’ configures the database tables properly to make everything work! (Magically.)
Why is the make payment button not working?
- Nine out of ten times, this is because there is a javascript error somewhere on your site. The first place to look is your theme – try and run DukaPress using the default WordPress theme to confirm if it is your theme that is failing you.
- Another reason is usually the pdf folder inside of DukaPress. Please try make it writable.
Why doesn’t DukaPress work for me? It seems to work for everyone else
No. Nothing is wrong with you. 🙂
We test DukaPress on a large number of different server set-ups and envrionments and we are satisfied that it does work in these environments. However, the number of different environments ‘out there’ is infinite and we cannot possibly test on every single environment. If everything that you try fails to work, perharps you should move your site to one of the more common web hosts? Look here for hosts that we know work with DukaPress.
Why isn’t the Grid Display working?
You currently HAVE to have at least one custom field per prodct in order for those products to show up in the grid display properly.
Why am I getting multiple/many emails when an order is placed?
If you are getting many emails with the subject “Receipt of Order No: xxxxx“, then it may be because you have PayPal IPN settings turned on. Please turn them off.
Why isn’t the “Inquiry”/”Catalogue mode” working properly?
Right now, it works very similarly to the regular shop mode – i.e. when people click on the “Inquire” button, it adds the product(s) to the shopping cart. When the site vistors go to checkout, they will then be presented with a form which they fill to inquire about products in the cart. You therefore HAVE to have your shopping cart widget displaying somewhere for the “Inquire” button to work.
Why is nothing happening when I press “Add to cart”? Why is the AJAX not working?
The cart should be inside DIV with class=”dpsc-shopping-cart”.
Just put the cart code inside DIV tags to look like:

How do you make your money? Through customizing?
That’s a good question, actually. Right now, we make money by building e-commerce sites for WordPress for our regular clients at http://www.nickelpro.com. This was always the goal, even before DukaPress as we know it was born.
In the future, we may make money through other ways, too.
ok, so i’m pretty new to web design/wordpress, or it’s just been a long time and i never used anything i learn in a real life situation. I’m starting a web store and i was wondering if this plugin works with other theme plugins. i like what i see of dukapress, but i need a theme to make my site look good too. and i’m on a tight budget, and i’m very willing to here any suggestions
You can use any theme in the world! 🙂
in the world…..? gee! that’s awesoem! lol, i’m figuring it out as i go. thanks for the support, you guys respond pretty fast as far as i can tell. good work 🙂
I was wondering if there is a way to adjust white space on the checkout page, as it looks a little cramped.
Thanks!
Hi John. Sorry for this delayed response. DukaPress outputs its pages with “css hooks” all over the place. Therefore you can style the checkout page (or any other). Just use Firebug to see what css element does what.
I’d like to change / customize the code so the thumbnail images are displayed differently. Can you point me to the correct thing to adjust?
Nevermind. I got it. Line 342 of dp-products.php. Maybe I missed this info in your documentation, but it should be there, or should be something you can control with the settings.
Thanks, I’ll put this up!
Does Dukapress work with paypal pro (website payments pro)?
It is currently not integrated. However, if you know php it should be easy to do 🙂
hi it is really nice to see such simplified form of e-commerce plugin 😀 i am currently using this plugin to build an e-commerce website, hope everything will turn ups well.
great job guys that keep this going! 😀
p.s. btw is this plugin easily customizable in term of CSS style? like changing the checkout button.
Thank you for the kind words!
Yes it if full of ‘CSS hooks’, just use firebug to see what does what.
Hey guys, I’m really interested in using your plugin, my only question is does it integrate into the current theme that the user has installed or does it need to be coded? Cheers (:
You can use any WordPress theme in the known universe 😉
Thanks you for great job. I have istalled a fresh wordpress http://mukallait.com/wordpresscart/ for testing use. I have added two products. I used this inlatest products page [dpsc_grid_display category=”3” total=”12″ column=”3″ per_page=”4″ type=”duka”] where 3 is my catogery id in which i added the products.
but it is does not displayed
Hi,
I found your cool plug-in and wanted to use it for a website I’m currently building. I’m trying to sell a e-book in pdf format. It works to the point of payment with paypal. The return to the thank you pages doesn’t work, but it might have to be set up in paypal in addition to the settings? The confirmation emails come in with the download link but the link throws an error:
Unable to download download.php
Unable to open this website. The request site is either unavailable or can not be found.
I uploaded it to the uploads folder you mentioned. When inserting the custom field- am I supposed to name it the filename with the extension? Is a pdf working as a digital file? The settings for digital files shows 48. Does that mean the link is avaible for 48 hours, minutes or other?
Thanks
J.
Did you resolve this issue? Same thing happening to me.
dukapress is really good,but it should develop menbership account and order history.Hope soon.
Coming VERY soon
I’m trying to make DukaPress work in a MultiSite installation, but I’m having a hard time getting products to display. Does it work on MS?
Oh yes it does! (But for some reason when you ‘network activate’ it does not). Please email duka(at)dukapress so that we can email you timthumb.php for MS (you have to edit timthumb a little to work on multisites.
How do I change the order that individual products will display in the grid?
Answered here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/dukapress-display-ordering-help?replies=5 🙂
Hi There,
Just wondering if you can help me.. I’m fairly new to the world of creating websites.. I have recently installed dukapress and found it exceptionally easy to use!
One issue I have encountered however is that when I create a products page, nothing appears in it.. I’ve put the code [dpsc_grid_display] in the description when creating the page but still nothing…
Also, I’ve created two test categories, and added a product to each. I’ve added the categories to the sidebar as a widget but when i click on either category, I receive an error on the page: Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.
I’m still using the twentyten theme until everything is working ok..
My web address is http://www.enhancestylist.com.au if anyone can help!
Thanks.
Jami
Apologies, I put the shotcode[dpsc_grid_display category=”4” total=”2″ column=”2″ per_page=”2″] on the product display page.. As I have only created 2 products I wasn’t sure if the number of total products / products per page etc couldn’t exceed the number of products..
But unfortunately it’s still not working.. 🙁
Is it possible to give me admin access? Email: duka.at.dukapress.org. I would be able to help easier
Sure, you should receive an email ina few mins…
Cheers
Jami
You had left out ‘type=”duka”‘ on the grid shortcode 🙂
Fixed.
Is there a way I can have the product displays the way they are but stick paypal buttons in under the images instead? I have tried many gallery plugins, but I swear Dukapress is also the most reliable gallery as well!
Thanks for nice words! Well, how about using CSS to hide the DukaPress price and add to cart button and then just pasting PayPal button code onto the page?
You can use this {display:none} in the DukaPress CSS for showing the price and the add to cart button. You need to edit dp-basic.css
Get rid of price: .dpsc_price {display: none;}
Get rid of add to cart: find and edit .product_form such that it looks like: .product_form {display: none;}
dpsc-basic.css? I cant find dp-basic.css
Sorry I did mean dpsc-basic.css
ok i got rid of the button, but I cant find the price one in that file
add it in?
woohoo!!! that worked! thanks
OK, one more…sorry I am a noob. Its showing my avatar, date and author even though I have those options deselected in “Screen Options” for example in this page http://hibredclothing.com/products/i-am-hi-shirt/ What can I do about that and why is it happening?
This is because of your theme’s singe.php and how your theme handles custom post types (which the products are). You need to edit this file to remove the meta information from posts.
A better way, however, would be to copy single.php to “single-duka.php” and edit that instead so that you do not affect how normal posts are displayed by theme.
Hi! – I am very please with this. I am going to town customizing the cart! I look forward to the customer account feature as alluded to by feilong on Nov. 2.
Of most urgent concern to me right now is the ability to perform a search and have the product result display in the grid view. Do you/will you have a module for this?
OOOPS – nevermind…. I forgot to put the [dpsc_display_product] code on the product page… It works great with the standard search!
But actually grid view would be nice. Any thoughts?
I believe it is possible!! 😀
But you would need to edit your theme’s search.php – and the problem with this is that if your site also includes things like blog posts…..well, all the results will be presented as a grid display of products and it may get weird.
What I have in mind, and it is all theory right now, is editing or creating a search results template and somehow including the code that produces the grid display therein. Does this make sense?
Have a look also at WordPress category templates (you can create one which displays the grid view for a particular category): http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates
I am thinking that there will be 2 search types: type=”duka” (for searching products) and type=”” for searching posts. If they choose “” then, no problem, because they products display ok in the search results page. But if they choose “duka” and end up getting post results in the product grid view, that would be weird. Is there a custom post variable that I can also reference when type=”duka”?
Well, the custom post type name for DukaPress is actually called “duka” so thats the variable you need 🙂
Also, see:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/limit-search-results-to-custom-post-type
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/separate-custom-post-type-search-results-from-blog-search-results
Those two threads talk of something similar
I’d LOVE to see the site you’re working on 🙂
OK, i got a crazy one. For example i have shirts for sale. They are available in multiple colors and sizes. I need to track inventory for each one, so i figure i need to do this:
1: have a shirts page, with a grid displaying one color of each shirt. If you click ta shirt on that page it goes to:
2: The individual shirt’s color page, which has a grid showing each color the shirt is available in. If you click on one of those shirts it goes to:
3: The individual shirt in that color’s page, which would be the product pages as they exist now in dukapress they would have the drop downs for size and all the buy now and stuff, and this way the inventory would track perfectly, everyone is happy and then there’s double rainbows, world peace and chocolate milk shakes for everyone
Is this possible?
Man, this level of detail is not YET easily possible with DukaPress. Sorry 🙁 But at least we’re coming to see the need, eh? 😀
SO lets assume you have 3 types of shirts, type A, B and C. Each of A, B, and C are available in either red, or green.
So you could have:
-One page, call it shirts, unfortunately, this page cannot be a grid page because you do not want to link directly to the products themselves. Find a way to have nice thumbnails of shorts A, B, and C. Let the links lead to pages which;
-Look like this, sort of: http://earlyjewelry.net/?page_id=223
-Whereby you have some sort of title, then a grid display showing shirts from category A (which are A Red and A green in our example)
-When you click on the individual products you are taken directly to Shirt A red, for instance where you can buy it.
Am I making sense? Its a hack, but it could work, yes?
This seems to be working great! Check it out, I still gotta put the add to cart buttons, but http://hibredclothing.com/shirts/
Check the first shirt on the top left as it has multiple colors. But it works perfect with the ones with only single colors 🙂
Dukapress rules!!!
Heya Kelvin,
I’ve seen some comments saying that you guys are looking at profiles for customers in version 2.0, I’m just wondering if there’s any possibility of having group profiles – so different groups of customers receive different prices…
Alternatively, will there be an option to give a discount for buying in ‘bulk’. Eg: if a customer buys 1 product, they pay the set price, but if a customer buys 10 of the same product then they get x% discount. Even still if they buy 100 of a product they get y% discount..
We deal with customers where some buy one 1 box of rags at a time, but other buy 45 boxes, so we’d like to be able to offer incentives for buying in bulk..
Cheers
Jami
Group profiles? That sounds really interesting. Would you like to expand some more on the idea so that we can think in more clear terms about it?
As for discounts based on the quantities of goods purchased, we’re working on this. 🙂
Hi Kelvin and thanks for DukaPress. Amazingly (at me, not you) I was able to get it to work! I was also able to fit 3 products to a row, but I changed something and now I can only fit 2. I’ve worked out the product image sizes and can make them smaller, but where can I change the size of the products box/padding and colour of the products box border please?
You need to do this via CSS. If you say “inspect element” in Firefox or Chrome, you can see that all of DukaPress can be easily and safely customized just by using CSS.
The TwentyShop theme has good examples of how this can be done: http://dukapress.com/blog/2010/10/21/introducing-twentyshop/
oh yay! Thanks Kelvin, I found it in the dpsc-basic.css file 🙂 I’d been looking in all the wrong places!
😀 please share the link to your site when you’re done, and good luck with the business!
I will, but only testing at this stage. This is my first e-commerce attempt. Thankyou for your help. I’ll probably be back!
hi sir,
i have done everything and thanks for help.
Now when i add any product to cart and click on button make a payment and slect alertpay then it is not redirect to Alertpay web site for making payment ? why ?
i want to setup instant Alertpay paymrnts, i mean when any one purchase any product then he/she redirect to Alertpay by selecting Alertpay and clicking Make payment .
Does DukaPress 2.0 work like this? In our tests it does.
no i have upgrade to dukapress 2.0 but still not working make a payment button not directing to Alertpay or PayPal , same problem as was in previous version
My friend, I am not sure what the problem is, I’ve been testing but I cannot reproduce this problem. 🙁
Hi, i completed my website on the local host in my PC and decide to upload the content to my server. I have edited the links in my database but some how the website is able to show correctly on the local wampserver but not on my IPage.com host.
My website is http://www.cupdigowns.com, you can go in to see that the pictures are all not in place. When click on the add to cart, the number do not increment. What could be wrong with this? it was working on the local server.
I have read about the FAQ and had contacted my host to check whether they allow for timthumb, they have assure me that timthumb can work on the http://www.ipage.com host.
This is a picture of how the website runs on my local host.
http://www.cupidogowns.com/localcupidogowns.jpg
Anyone has any idea what is wrong or what to look out for, would appreciate if you could help.
I think it works okay now? 😀
Thanks Kelvin, the problem is due to the server side. I am very grateful for your technical support in the matter. Dukapress is Great!
Manfred, there is another user having problems with ipage – would you be in a position to remember how they fixed it for you?
Hi Kelvin and all, i have transfer my administration rights to my server administrator, they have done the troubleshooting and some how manage to rectify the problem. their reply was that they have change the cache folder and the timthumb folder to 577 write permission.
I guess there were other things done to the server side but they are not able to pin point or disclose the issue with me.
I would suggest you try changing the write permission first.
As for the incrementation of the shopping cart, what i did to remedy the problem is as Kelvin has suggested, to delete the entire dukapress plugin and then reinstall with a clean plugin installation. This solve the problem of the increment issue and Shopping Cart not able to update after the add to cart is put in.
Hope this helps!
Happy new year guys. DukaPress is Great!
I’m impressed that you got it to work with iPage at all, and that they were any help to you whatsoever! I never got it to work with iPage, even after a completely fresh install. The products would add to the cart, then disappear immediately upon refresh. I contacted ipage and they just kept sending me back to WordPress help center and the plug-in developer. They never made any attempt to help and told me that if I wanted the issue inspected further I had to pay $75/hr. In the end, I had to point my clients domain to my Godaddy account. You actually got yours to work with iPage? I don’t get what my problem is. But oh well, I convinced my client to switch to Godaddy under our account for a big discount.
Oh yeah, and – VIVA LA DUKAPRESS!
Or whatever that phrase is in Swahili! =D
This also happened with 10 other shopping cart plug-ins, too. The exact same issue. So I KNOW it was server-side, but they refused to help or admit that it was their problem
My digital download link is sent, but the link doesn’t work. its like:http://MYSITE.com/dukatest/wp-content/plugins/dukapress/download.php?id=da451d30a779f183152a3891f0c1614b
The file is in its right location, and has been copied to the temp directory automatically. The file can be found at: http://MYSITE.COM/dukatest/wp-content/uploads/dpsc_temp_download_files/da451d30a779f183152a3891f0c1614b
Not sure why its not working….. Everything is chmod 777 right now … and its set for 48
~Rob.
Any Idea on this?
I’m not sure what is wrong here – I’ve been trying to find where the bug may be at but cannot locate it, or reproduce this error on multiple setups this side. That is not to say I have stopped looking for a solution, though. Sorry that you’ve gone through such a horrid time.
No problems… There’s so many variables when it comes to hosts. I’ll do another clean install and see if I can see anything. I did see up in the comments here that someone else had a similar issue…. If I find the answer, I will log it here…
~Rob.
Hi, great cart, I have been working on it for days and things are looking good and it functions through the PayPal sandbox, I’m pleased!
I’m having trouble with the billing form and need to fix the overlap of the fields. I tried using Firebug and everything inherits up to a div entry and there is nothing to change. Do you have any suggestions on how I can style the form? Thanks for your great work.
Jeff
Sorry for this late response. When you use Firebug do you see the “css hooks”? Does styling those work?
What theme are you suing?
Hi Kelvin,
I ended up changing themes and the form looks better. As I said, everything is inherited to the “entry” div which in both themes are similar, must be based off of Kubrics original? Anyway, I can live with it now as I am having another problem. I have tested “multiple” digital file purchases and I am sent only “one link”. I have also discovered another potential problem which may be causing this, I have used post entries instead of product entries and this has limited what menu items I can work with. For example, I entered one product into the Duka product page and five other products into post pages. Only the one product shows as a possible menu item. I also found some other problems that need addressed, like how to format the email responses, a spelling error on the check out page etc. I don’t want to bug you with all these questions but I have no other resources to work with and your docs are not providing the answers. Not bashing you or the cart, both are great, just having a hard time tweaking things to how they fit with my site. Would be glad to help you correct docs or add to them for your help.
Hi Jeff, don’t worry about it. I would love to work with you to sort every one of those issues. Here are my responses:
I’m sorry that you had to run into so many problems. We’re working to address some of your issues in the next release. You can add to what you think we should work on here: http://dukapress.org/blog/2010/12/16/what-would-you-like-to-see-in-dukapress/
Also, this tool helps you convert between post types:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/convert-post-types/
(note that the DukaPress post type is named ‘duka’)
Wonderful Kelvin!
I came up with a work around for “one download per page”, more of a marketing problem at this point so I’m OK on that. I ended up copying the button form markup, changing product names and prices and putting several digital product cart buttons on one page. The customer will have to add each product to the cart which I have tested and works- 3 digital files added to purchase and I get 3 download links. I was trying to give them a discount if they purchased my suggested “package deal”. It would be a nice future feature for multiple digital goods on one product “package deal” page, almost a must have I would think, as you already have concluded.
I had and still have trouble understanding the differences between DukaPress, product and post content types. There are a lot of user changes that can be made that effect the look and outcome- like permalink structure, category names and what other plugins are used to manipulate content in pages and posts. I finally deleted all products and went with post types last night and got everything working. The looming problem will be if I do some re-arranging or re-naming of posts or categories? So, I am following your advice by default because I have no other choice. Maybe you have this type of info somewhere that I could not find but, that would be a suggested article for setting DukaPress up. Use one type or the other and if a person has both, use the plugin you suggested to convert. Of course, this is just IMHO. It would save someone like me a lot of time and headache. I look forward to playing with types to see what happens and will comment back with anything remarkable. Thanks for that tidbit!
I’ll set up a translation file until you make changes….I can only imagine how difficult it is to do all the work to produce your software, I do appreciate your effort, hard work and talent! Other problems I’m having now deal with style and markup so I’ll have to keep playing those also to see what I can do.
The typo is on the checkout page where the word “product” should be plural. “There are no product in your cart” should read “There are no products in your cart”. Question: I found the PHP file and made the change, uploaded to the server and the fix never would show on the page. Assuming I have done what should be done to upload and save files correctly, why would the change not take place? Is it a communication problem between specific PHP or JS files? Just curious, if you have a simple answer 🙂
A side note on shipping. I have variable per item shipping amounts not based on weight or any other factor but $$ that I use and this does not fit with most cart systems. I ended up using your set-up to achieve what I needed to charge individual rates. This may be obvious to everyone but I have had trouble using digital good and physical good combinations and mention it just in case others are in a similar situation. I used the flat rate option and entered $1.00 for the price. If I have an item that I want to charge $13.00 for shipping, I enter 13000 into the shipping weight field on the DukaPress products or post page for that item.
Thanks for the help Kelvin, this should keep me busy for another day and I’ll kindly let you know if I stumble on anything else that stumps me. Have a great day!
I don’t mind talking on your blog but I do not want to clog it up with questions and information that may not be useful to others.
Jeff
Quick question: DukaPress 2.0, WordPress 3.03; the installation went well, but I don’t see a “Products” tab on the dashboard or the admin sidebar. All I see is the DukaPress sidebar section with “Order Log” and “Settings”. I didn’t receive any errors during the installation.
Any suggestions?
(I cross-posted this on another entry. Sorry about that.)
how can i change the font size for the price in a product page? it is SO tiny. when i try to change any fonts on the dukapress files i get fatal errors. is there a way around this?
The easiest, most practical way of doing this is via CSS. Try editing dpsc-basic.css in the DukaPress CSS folder. (If you are using Chrome or Firefox with Firebug and you say “inspect element” you will see what CSS element you need to change).
Hi,
I have installed the DukaPress shopping cart plugin and it works for me fine, except when I try to test it and click the Make a Payment button.
This button just does nothing and goes nowhere.
I have tried putting back the default WP theme and several other WP themes, but this button still does not work.
Just wondering if you might have any further ideas?
Hi Unfortunately, we do get some complaints of this. It seems it is an issue with some server environments (and we aren’t really sure what is the problem – mainly because it is so VERY hard to replicate this problem, as you can see the demo works ok). However, I am continuing to test on my end.
Making sure the pdf directory is writable worked for me. See the faq above.
Sorry I meant to also write in the above question that despite the Make a Payment button not appearing to do anything, the orders are registering in the Order Log!
Thanks so much, hope to hear from you soon!
Kelvin,
I would like to change the “Add to Cart” text to “Add to Bag” instead, is this possible? if so then how to?
The trend now for online shopping is changing to us bag instead of cart so i would suggest that that be allowed some how. Is it possible for that to be done?
Thank you.
Right now it is a bit difficult. How about using the POT file to change the text to read “Add to bag”?
I’m having a couple issues… 1. My “mattresses” page works fine when it’s not the child of “products” and all the child pages under mattresses work fine too. However as soon as I assign “mattresses” to the “products” page as a child, none of the pages resolve (load forever and timeout) I’ve viewed the firebug NET profile and it looks like the “products” page constantly resolves to itself over and over and over which causes the timeout. Any ideas why this would occur?
2. I’m running into a problem where the page numbers (on say “mattresses”) are not showing page 2 or 3 (or more) of the products, it seems to loop-back on page 1 even though ?page=2 is in the query string.
Trying to launch this page in the next 48 hours *yikes* so a quick response would be a life-saver and infinitely appreciated.
Sorry for the delayed response. It should not be doing that. For example, look at this website: http://rushandege.org/shop/gps-systems/headset-accessories/ ALL the product pages are on child pages. So I am not quite sure what could be wrong 🙁
As for the second problem, it also beats me why that could be happening. One thing that may be causing this is if you say order=rand but on the other hand what you describe is not the expected outcome.
Have you edited DukaPress files?
Maybe add me as admin (duka.at.dukapress.org) to see what I can do
Actually based upon the site you sent me, all of those products are located at “http://rushandege.org/products/” while the page you are on is “http://rushandege.org/shop/”, however, what we are trying to do would essentially end up being something like “http://rushandege.org/shop/products/” which causes a constant redirect back to itself (which essentially means it’s going to “http://rushandege.org/shop/shop/products” infinitely until it times out.
“http://rushandege.org/products/” does not exist…
This page is the parent page of all product pages: http://rushandege.org/shop/
All the other product pages are child pages of that page, e.g. http://rushandege.org/shop/gps-systems/
The site also has one category of products (displayed at http://rushandege.org/shop/) and all the other categories are sub-categories of that page.
SO we have both parent pages and parent categories with child pages and child categories.
I built the site so I know. 🙂
Based on this evidence, don’t you agree that what you want to achieve is possible? I would therefore argue that the problem is not DukaPress in general but some small detail on your particular set up. I need your help to find and solve this.
I need a query written so that the complete product listing can be periodically REPLACED from a CSV file. Willing to pay $$ for working function. Please contact duka@epicdomain.com
Is their a way to customize the tax option so it will only bill the X% tax in a certain US State? Legally we can only charge Sales Tax in our state and I cannot figure out how to make that work.
I’m not sure how this could be achieved :(. It looks like the code will have to be editted quite a bit.
Let’s start here: how would you tell which state a customer is from?
I’d go by their billing information. When they enter their billing address and ship to address, we currently use the billing address info for tax purposes.
I’ve spent a bit of time thinking about this, thanks.
Honestly, right now as it is, it is pretty hard to achieve this with DukaPress 🙁
There have been many complaints concerning the way DukaPress handles taxes right now and so we’re working hard to come up with solutions that work for everyone – people in Europe, America, Kenya, and all over. I know it is a huge issue but please try bear with us. We’re working on fixing this.
For your particular needs, we’re thinking of something that works a lot like http://dukapress.com/products/shipping-pro/ but for taxes.
What if sales tax was applied when the payment was entered on the paypal side, i.e. sales tax is determined by paypal not dukapress?

You currently HAVE to have at least one custom field per prodct in order for those products to show up in the grid display properly.”
Hi, i understand this, but how can i make some products without any price? It is just for showing the products and to not have the possibility to buy it…
I have some custom fields for the products, but this is not custom fields from dukapress…
I just want the possibility to have products with price and without price to be in the same grid, and have the possibility to clic on a button for have the full description of the products.
It’s working well with the shortcode [dpsc_display_product], even in a product without price (for seeing the product i clic on the show article)…
SO is there any way to do what i want?
In that case, then it cannot work with the current version of DukaPress. You cannot have products with prices and without prices right now 🙁 – we’ll look into making this available in future releases. However, yo can modify the code to achieve this, if you know php – though it is quite extensive work.
However, it is possible to have “products” with no price or add to cart button by using CSS to hide add to cart and price. Then it will be like a gallery only.
Thanks, this is not a good news for me and my client…
I’ll find another way to display the products, but i still display them with [dpsc_display_product] for having the option “add to cart” and the price 😀
But it’s still so sad that we can’t have products with price and products without…
put 0.00 in the price field
I didn’t know that this works hehe. Thank you Heidi
Thank you, but now the product can be buy for nothing… and i don’t want to offer products ^^.
I just want that people can clic on the image, or the title of the product, for viewing the detail of the product like i can do with the other…
Hi All,
I have updated 2 products on my website, but they do not seem to display side by side, instead they show up one below the other. Can any one please help? The URL to the page is http://tech2mgr.com/?page_id=959,
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Yogesh
In your Grid shortcode, how many products are you showing per column? Please see documentation for what I mean: http://dukapress.org/docs/short-codes/
Hi Kelvin,
Thanks for your prompt response. Is it that [dpsc_grid_display category=”4” total=”12″ column=”3″ per_page=”4″ type=”duka” order=”DESC”] is what I am using and it will display 3 products in one column with only category 4. What should i do if i want to display products of category 3,4,5,6 on the same grid.
Please suggest. Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Yogesh
hey kevin i did it. can u please have a look at this link once http://tech2mgr.com/?page_id=959 and let me know i am doing correctly..
thanks,
yogesh
well done!
It is most probably because of the width of your theme (it is too small to fit them). You either need to reduce it from 3, or remove the border around the products (via CSS by editting dpsc-basic.css in DukaPress CSS folder) and decrease the width of images.
you can say category=”4,5,6,7,8,9” to get multiple categories to show up

Thank you very much for your great application. I am using it in a new project and it works great. However I would like to add some fields to the customer’s information form: a comments textarea and two input texts…I must do something wrong because after filling all the fields no information arrives to the Db…I have modified dukapress.php (the form)and db_cart.php (the $_POST variables) to add those fields, but I am afraid I must modify something else?? I wuold be grateful if you could give some hint about this issue, it seems I am not so good at php coding…Thanks in advance!
