Using WPEC without transaction/payment functionality?

    We offer literature and product samples to dealers who carry our products. We do not charge for these materials.

    Right now we have a paper-based ordering system. We were looking into adding an online ordering system. We need everything an ecommerce plugin offers *EXCEPT* the end transaction/payment option.

    Can we use WPEC without the transaction portion? In other words, when the customer submits an order, that’s the end of the process for them? (Other than a confirmation email.)

    The two main things would be to control the email content sent to the customer and also what they see on the transactions results page. Both will have WPEC content you don’t want – including some that is (when I last looked) hard coded.

    Controlling the email content is easy using the Shop Styling plugin – see https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-ecommerce-shop-styling/ and http://wpshopstyling.com/. I use it on all my WPEC sites to override everything in the standard WPEC emails.

    The same plugin also has a premium add-on to set the content of the transactions results page.

    In WPEC Payments Settings you’d use the Test Gateway (aka Manual Payment) as your only payment method.

    In Shop Styling you’d set up the Manual Payment email with whatever text , product list etc you want.

    I don’t use the transaction results add-on (but probably should!) however if it’s consistent with the email styling and its PDF invoice add-on I do pay for then it should be easy to configure that.

    This has been asked before so you may be able to find additional/alternate suggestions elsewhere in the forum.

    Good luck.
