PublishPress Cart – eCommerce for Digital Products

Description

PublishPress Cart helps you sell digital products, programs, events, or services from your WordPress website. It provides checkout pages, payment settings, customer account pages, order records, and integration settings for common payment and marketing workflows.

Features

• Thank You Pages and Redirects:
  Display a custom thank you page or redirect customers to another website after they complete their purchase.

• Embed an order form anywhere:
  Use the included shortcode to turn any page on your website into a checkout page.

• Product launch settings:
  Schedule cart open dates, manually turn a checkout page on or off, close a checkout after a configured number of sales, and redirect closed-cart visitors to a selected page.

• One-time payments, installment plans and subscriptions:
  Set up multiple payment options for a product so customers can choose from the payment plans you configure.

• Mailing list integrations:
  Choose which mailing list or tag to add a buyer to on a per-product basis when a supported marketing service is configured.

External services

PublishPress Cart can connect to third-party services when you enable and configure the related feature. These connections are optional unless you choose the related payment gateway, spam-protection feature, analytics feature, or marketing integration.

Stripe

Stripe is used to process card payments when Stripe is enabled. During checkout, PublishPress Cart sends order, customer, amount, currency, and payment metadata needed to create and confirm Stripe payments. Stripe may return payment, charge, refund, subscription, and webhook event data to the site. When a Stripe publishable key is saved, checkout and product pages also load Stripe.js from https://js.stripe.com/v3/.

Stripe Connect (PublishPress)

The optional Stripe Connect button uses a PublishPress connection service at https://publishpress.com to complete Stripe OAuth. When you start Connect from plugin settings, the plugin sends the site URL, return URL, connection state, and an encrypted site credential needed to finish account linking. PublishPress returns Stripe account identifiers used to process payments. This happens only when you choose Connect Stripe.

When Stripe Connect is used without PublishPress Cart Pro, Stripe applies a 2% application fee on those connected payments. That fee is not applied when PublishPress Cart Pro is active.

PayPal

PayPal is used to process PayPal payments and subscriptions when PayPal is enabled. During checkout and subscription management, PublishPress Cart sends order, customer, amount, currency, subscription, and transaction data needed to create, verify, refund, pause, resume, or cancel PayPal transactions.

Development and source code

Human-readable Gutenberg sources ship in this plugin. The files in includes/integrations/gutenberg/build/ are minified with npm and @wordpress/scripts 35.0.0, which runs webpack.

To rebuild them, use Node.js 20.19 or newer on the 20 line, or Node.js 22.13 or newer. From the plugin directory:

1. npm install @wordpress/scripts@35.0.0
2. npx wp-scripts build includes/integrations/gutenberg/blocks/checkout-form/order-form.js includes/integrations/gutenberg/blocks/account-page-builder/account-blocks.js includes/integrations/gutenberg/blocks/account-page-builder/account-page-view.js --output-path=includes/integrations/gutenberg/build

A development checkout that includes package.json can run npm install and then npm run build:gutenberg for the same output. npm run start:gutenberg rebuilds those files while you edit.
