SJ77 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 People come in with "this should be in core" ideas all the time. Well, here's another one. I would really like it if the store front could be sorted for files from a specific user. I realize already one can visit a user profile and click files. However, making it an option in the store/marketplace (whatever) will provide the member with a feeling of having their OWN store front. They would then share their store front link with others. Give's them a little more feeling of ownership. This is good (should stay) but I think this would be awesome Maybe the "user" filter isn't visible (as a drop down or whatever) on the store front itself. Perhaps it's only a URL option. Maybe there is a way to configure the URL such that it links to the custom (filtered for user) store front and thus will show only specific user files. Then I could add a link to it from the user profile. Also I would encourage store owners to promote and share the link to "their store" online. Could be a powerful way to have users promote our websites to others and drive traffic up. I apologize if this is already an option. (if so I missed this) Look forward to hearing thoughts. Thank you Should be pretty easy to add "by user" filter to Downloads app Forum has "file by user" option on profile, Download app would benefit in different ways from same option would encourage sense of ownership would encourage users to promote "their store" one simple addition to expand greatly downloads functionality. (IE: amazon gives users their own store front) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ77 Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 URL could be something like this Quote https://community.invisionpower.com/files/?by=554525-denis-m Easy way to give each user their own store face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriano Faria Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Couldn't find the post, but @Lindy said that something like this (users sell their own items on store) it's on their roadmap, no ETA though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else I think this would be a great custom mod for the marketplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy Perry Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Actually, the "store front" initially talked about deals with files only apparently. An actual "store front" to me allows the user to create their own items to sell (in Nexus/Commerce) with currently can only be done via the ACP from the script.

I would edit and also ad that users should have their own custom store front URL Is this English? That's what I get for trying to post here using my phone. LOL I was trying to say; The classified mods referenced above do not contain a custom user store front. A custom user store front would be an area for the seller to display only his/her items that are for sale. Maybe a custom wall paper and certainly a custom URL. This would allow the seller to advertise on other sites the URL for their store. This would work really well with digital media/ clip & photo stores.

It is not currently set up to allow those users to set up their own payment gateway(s). I don't know about you, but I sure don't want my paypal account associated with my users for their transactions. I can see charge-backs galore in a future in that case. It would require a major shift and redesign of the commerce package into a more "shop" setup. As it is now, it's targeted at the site admin (and therefor the site itself) to perform sales. I have the classifieds add-on and it has the ability to integrate to allow users for sale items to process through my payment gateways, but I don't allow it because of that very reason.

I can see charge-backs galore in a future in that case. There are many sellers on this site selling their own mods in the market place. Why would that process that already is shown to be working here change? Only thing this would do is for example give Adriano a way to showcase all of his mods for IPB Quote It would require a major shift and redesign of the commerce package into a more "shop" setup.

I don't think it would require a shift of any kind other than allowing things that are already being sold to be filtered by user. The site does this in the forums, gallery and blogs already why shouldn't downloads work the same way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All transactions then process through your account(s) for the payment processor apparently. I'm assuming that it allows a splitting of that and that the user, when adding a file that is for sale sets up their PayPal account (or whatever is supported) to automate the payout? I don't have the files setup, but only Adriano's classifieds add-on. I know when setting up that it doesn't prompt the "advertiser" for any payout credentials, so I'm assuming it just "banks" that amount that's owed them and then a manual intervention is required. The documentation on Commerce leaves a lot to be desired IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually interested in knowing also as if it bypasses my paypal account it would allow me to have the users run the payment processor through the package and me get a cut of it.

Anyone know how this works? It's not what you think. Marketplace contributors are NOT automatically paid when a user purchases a file. What happens is that IPS is paid in full, and the Marketplace contributor is apportioned Account Credit. You then manually need to request a pay-out from IPS, for them to transfer actual funds to your PayPal account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
