## Description

SimpleSeller adds a new post type to a WP blog, which represents a sellable
 item.
Each author (“seller”) enters their own payment credentials, and posts are linked
to that seller’s payment gateway with a simple buy-now type button. A separate capabilities
set allows the blog owner to differentiate between those allowed to post blog entries
and those allowed to sell items.

### Updating

 1. Download `simpleseller-latest.zip`
 2. Back up your database and previous version of Simple Seller
 3. Unzip Simple Seller into your WordPress plugins directory

### Setup

 1. On the Admin page, select “Simple Seller” under Settings.
 2. Choose a “slug” for all items for sale. SimpleSeller will create a page under that
    slug.
 3. Edit the newly created seller page, adding whatever content makes sense. Publish
    the page.
 4. (Optional) Create accounts for your “sellers”, or add the “seller” capabilities
    to existing accounts. We recommend using the [Capabilities Manager (capsman) plugin](
    http://alkivia.org/wordpress/capsman) to manage this.
 5. Enter your PayPal credentials on your Profile page. Each seller must do this.
