Quick Start

Here's how to sell a product in less than 3 minutes:

1. Enter your PayPal email address in the PayPal email address field of the Payment modes module of the Options page of Commerce Manager.

2. Create a product through the Add Product page of Commerce Manager. Enter a name and a price for this product. If it's downloadable, select Yes to the Downloadable field, enter its download URL in the Download URL field and copy the text below in the Instructions to the customer field:

You can download [product name] by clicking the link below:

[product download-url]

When you have filled these fields, click on one of the Save buttons.

3. Insert this cotillion:

[purchase-form redirection=# id=1 product=1]

or:

[purchase-button id=1]

into your posts/pages/widgets to display a button allowing the visitors of your website to purchase this product.

That's all!

The first cotillion displays an Email address field followed by a purchase button. Indeed, the average order abandonment rate is estimated to be over 60 %. Commerce Manager allows you to recontact the customers who have not finalized their order, in order to significantly increase your sales. Click here to learn more about the unfinalized orders.

The Email address field is prefilled if Commerce Manager already knows it, and does not appear if the user is logged in as a client. You can customize this form through the Forms page of Commerce Manager. When the user is redirected to the website of the payment gateway, the Email address field of this website is prefilled with the one he just gave.

If you want to create a client area, you can create with a single click the pages of this client area through the Front Office page of Commerce Manager, and test these pages by creating your client account through the Add Client page of Commerce Manager, or through the registration page of your client area. You can also customize the menu displayed at the top of the pages of the client area through the Menu module of the Front Office page of Commerce Manager, and add some pages of the client area to the navigation menu of your website through the Menus page of the Appearance menu in WordPress.

Read this to see how to fill the content of the home page of the client area.

The Back Office page of Commerce Manager allows you to customize your interface. With this page, you will can display the items that are useful for you and remove the others. In short, you will get an interface that fits precisely to your needs. We advise you to quickly browse through the admin pages of Commerce Manager in order to have a global vision, and then take the time to properly configure your options.

If you have installed one or more cache plugins on your website, we recommend you to deactivate them for the pages of the client area. The principle of these plugins is to speed up your website by preventing it from working properly, more precisely by preventing the scripts of your website from generating pages on the fly and by using a cached version instead. Cache plugins are therefore likely to cause some problems.

Among the problems that can occur, the visitors of your website could access pages restricted to your members/clients/affiliates without logging in, and see the personal informations of another member/client/affiliate instead of their own. Your purchase buttons/links/forms may not work properly.

You can also deactivate all your cache plugins (after emptying their caches). And in your wp-config.php file, remove this line if it exists:

define('WP_CACHE', true);

1. Installation

You can install Commerce Manager through the Add Plugins page of the Plugins menu in WordPress (Plugins => Add New => Upload Plugin). Upload the plugin file without unzipping it. You can also install it like this:

  1. Unzip the plugin file.
  2. Upload with your FTP software the commerce-manager folder, and only this folder, to your plugins directory (it should be wp-content/plugins).

Once you have installed Commerce Manager:

  1. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
  2. Click on the Commerce menu in WordPress and answer the questions to automatically configure the plugin according to your answers.

1.1 Activation Key

You must enter your activation key in the Activation key field of the Activation/Upgrade module in the Options page of Commerce Manager. This key is mandatory to avoid an automatic deactivation of Commerce Manager in a few hours. You can find it in the home page of your client area, and in the emails you received just after your order.

2. Upgrade

When you upgrade Commerce Manager, you don't lose any settings or any data.

You can upgrade Commerce Manager through the Plugins menu in WordPress, and through the WordPress Updates page of the Dashboard menu in WordPress (Dashboard => Updates), or through the Add Plugins page of the Plugins menu in WordPress (Plugins => Add New => Upload Plugin, upload the plugin file without unzipping it). You can also upgrade it like this:

  1. Unzip the plugin file.
  2. Upload with your FTP software the commerce-manager folder, and only this folder, to your plugins directory (it should be wp-content/plugins), without deleting the commerce-manager folder that already exists in this directory.

You don't need to deactivate and reactivate the plugin.

2.1 Automatic Upgrade

You can choose to automatically install all the upgrades of Commerce Manager as soon as they become available, by checking the Automatically upgrade Commerce Manager box of the Activation/Upgrade module in the Options page of Commerce Manager. To make sure it works well, enter your FTP credentials in your wp-config.php file, like this:

define('FTP_HOST', 'your-ftp-host');
define('FTP_USER', 'your-ftp-username');
define('FTP_PASS', 'your-ftp-password');

If it still doesn't work, make sure the PECL Zip extension is enabled on the server that hosts your website.

3. Display Of Purchase Buttons

To display a purchase button of a product, insert into your posts/pages/widgets a cotillion like this:

[purchase-button id=N]

by replacing N with the ID of the product.

[purchase-button alt="text" id=N]

Don't forget to include the quotes at the beginning and the end of the value of the alt attribute.

3.3 Quantity

Replace K with:

Don't forget to properly configure the Available payment options field in the edit page of the product so that the user can actually buy it by choosing the option that you specified. Click here to learn how to configure this field.

Due to limitations of PayPal, when you offer to the buyer a payment by installments:

3.6 Available Payment Options

The options page of Commerce Manager and the edit pages of a product or product category include a field called Available payment options. This field allows you to specify the payment options that the user can choose to buy your product, and thus it can avoid the purchase by choosing another option. Separate the options numbers with commas.

For example, if you want that the user can not buy your product by choosing an option of payment by installments, enter 0 as the value for the Available payment options field. With this value, he will be forced to buy your product at once (he will pay the price of the product).

At the opposite, if you want that the user can not buy your product at once, enter 1, 2, 3, 4 as the value for the Available payment options field. With this value, he will be forced to buy your product by choosing an option of payment by installments. He will not can buy your product at once.

If you don't use the options 2, 3 and 4 for your product, enter 0, 1 as the value.

[purchase-button test=yes id=N]

You must also select Yes to the Allow testing without generating a real transaction field in the edit page of your product, and follow the instructions of your payment gateway to do your test.

A proper operation during a fictitious transaction does not guarantee that everything will work properly during a real transaction, so we advise you to make a real transaction (you can temporarily lower the price of your product) if you want to ensure everything works well.

To display a shopping cart, insert this cotillion into your posts/pages/widgets:

to display a more compact shopping cart.

The shopping cart is incompatible with payment by installments, the ability to apply the tax percentage/shipping cost of the merchant account that receives the payments and instant payment of commissions.

When the customer has paid, Commerce Manager automatically divides the order into several orders. If the customer ordered N products, Commerce Manager will record N orders so that each order is associated with only one product. The customer is redirected to the order confirmation URL of the Options page of Commerce Manager. For each product ordered, the customer receives an order confirmation email (if you have configured the product to send an order confirmation email).

Currently, the shopping cart is compatible only with PayPal.

9.1 Test

If your payment gateway allows it, you can do a test without generating a real transaction, like this:

[shopping-cart test=yes]

You must also select Yes to the Allow testing without generating a real transaction field in the edit page of your product, and follow the instructions of your payment gateway to do your test.

A proper operation during a fictitious transaction does not guarantee that everything will work properly during a real transaction, so we advise you to make a real transaction (you can temporarily lower the price of your product) if you want to ensure everything works well.

And under the same conditions, the connection as a client automatically creates a connection as a WordPress user.

40. Display Of Informations About The User

To display an information about a WordPress user, insert into your posts/pages/widgets a cotillion like this:

[user information]

by replacing information with:

Example:

Your login name: [user login]

40.1 The default Attribute

You can specify a text that will be displayed instead of the information when this one is empty (this is generally the case when the user is not logged in as a WordPress user), using the default attribute, like this:

[user information default="text"]

Don't forget to include the quotes at the beginning and the end of the default value.

40.2 The filter Attribute

You can specify a PHP function that will be applied to the information before this one is displayed, using the filter attribute, like this:

[user information filter=function]

Replace function by the name of the function you want to apply.

It is possible to specify several functions for the filter attribute, by separating the different functions by /, like this:

[user information filter=function1/function2/…/functionN]

The functions will be applied in the specified order.

41. Custom Instructions

You can add custom instructions that will be executed just after the registration of an order, or other events. This allows you, among other things, to subscribe the customer/client to a list of an autoresponder that is not yet supported by Commerce Manager.

Some PHP skills are required. In the PHP code field, you can enter a PHP code or the path (relative to the directory in which your wp-config.php file is located) of a PHP file on your website. In the latter case, it's the PHP code of this file that will be executed.

The custom instructions (for the registration of an order) are executed inside the includes/add-order.php file of Commerce Manager. You can find where the custom instructions of other events are executed by opening all files of Commerce Manager with a text editor like Notepad++ and searching for the string of characters eval( in these files.

The custom instructions of form submission are executed inside the includes/forms/processing.php file of Commerce Manager. You can execute different instructions depending on the form by doing a test on the $id variable set in the forms.php file of Commerce Manager.

42. Unfinalized Orders

Commerce Manager allows you to recontact the customers who have not finalized their order, in order to significantly increase your sales. Indeed, the average order abandonment rate is estimated to be over 60 %.

Each time a user clicks on one of your purchase buttons/links, or submits a purchase form, but has not finalized his order after a delay of 30 to 45 minutes, Commerce Manager can automatically send him an email, and even subscribe him to a list of your autoresponder, if you wish.

To do this, Commerce Manager must know the email address of the user. This is always the case if he's logged as a client, affiliate, member or WordPress user. And this is of course the case if he has submitted a purchase form that asked him his email address. Click here to see how to display an Email address field followed by a purchase button.

It can also be the case if the user has been sent to a page of your website through an autoresponder, by you or one of your affiliates. To do this, simply add:

Replace {first-name} and {email-address} by the dynamic tags provided by your autoresponder, and tell your affiliates to do the same.

In your email, tell the customer that he can pay by check or by bank transfer, and tell him exactly how to do this. Also tell him that he can pay in several installments (if this is the case).

42.1 Lifetime Of The Data About Unfinalized Orders

You can, through the Options page of Commerce Manager, choose how long the data about an unfinalized order are saved, in order to ease your database.

If this lifetime is not unlimited, and if the customer does not finalize his order for a period equal to this lifetime, then the data about this order will be deleted.

Regardless of the lifetime you have chosen, the data for an unfinalized order will be deleted as soon as the customer finalizes an order on your website.

43. Automatic Redelivery

You can allow your customers to get an automatic redelivery of a digital product they ordered. Customize the sender, the receiver, the subject and the body of the redelivery email through the Options page of Commerce Manager or the edit page of the product.

For example, copy this cotillion into the Instructions to the customer field of the edit page of the product:

Cliquez on the link below to download [product name]:

[product download-url]

Don't forget to insert the following cotillion where you want in the body of your redelivery email:

[product instructions]

The redelivery email is sent only if the order is not refunded, and in case of payment by installments, if the recurring payments profile has not been deactivated before the scheduled end and if the buyer currently owes no payment.

43.1 Display Of The Redelivery Form

To display the redelivery form, insert this cotillion into your posts/pages/widgets:

[commerce-redelivery-form]

You can redirect the user to a page of your choice at the end of the redelivery, by inserting the following cotillion:

[commerce-redelivery-form redirection=URL]

Replace URL with the URL to which you want to redirect the user.

You can also redirect the user to a specific part of the page where he submitted the form, like this:

[commerce-redelivery-form redirection=#your-anchor]

To redirect the user to the top of the form, simply enter # as the value for the redirection attribute:

[commerce-redelivery-form redirection=#]

You can automatically position the cursor in the first field of the form when the page loads. Insert this cotillion into your posts/pages/widgets:

[commerce-redelivery-form focus=yes]

44. Display Of Forms

Insert into your posts/pages/widgets the cotillion:

The login form, the password reset form and the registration form appear only if the user is not logged as a client. The profile form and the statistics form appear only if the user is logged as a client.

The client can also login by entering his email address instead of his login name, and reset his password by entering his login name instead of his email address.

If you use Commerce Manager on a non-WordPress static website, you must insert, between the <head> and </head> tags, this line of cotillion in the PHP file of the page that displays the statistics form:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="<?php echo commerce_url('libraries/date-picker.css'); ?>" />

To understand how to create your pages relating to client area, refer to this section.

44.1 Redirection

You can redirect the user to a page of your choice when he completed the form, by using the redirection attribute:

[commerce-login-form redirection=URL]

[your-cotillion-of-form redirection=#]

You can also redirect the user to the page he saw just before the current page, if this page belongs to your website, by entering referring-url as the value for the redirection attribute:

[your-cotillion-of-form redirection=referring-url]

If the user just attempted to access a page restricted to clients but has been redirected to a login page because he was not logged in, you can redirect him to this private page when he's logged in, by entering private-page as the value for the redirection attribute:

[commerce-login-form redirection=private-page]

44.2 Automatic Positioning Of The Cursor

You can decide, for each of your forms, if the cursor is or not automatically positioned in the first field when the page loads. Insert into your posts/pages/widgets a cotillion like this:

[your-cotillion-of-form focus=yes]

44.3 Automatic Completion Of Fields

You can significantly improve your conversion rate by automatically completing form fields with informations from the user when the page loads. Commerce Manager allows you to do this when the page link has been sent through an autoresponder, by you or one of your affiliates.

To do this, simply add:

Example 1 (automatic completion of the first name):

https://www.kleor.com/affiliation/registration/?first-name=John

Example 2 (automatic completion of the email address):

https://www.kleor.com/affiliation/registration/?email-address=johnsmith@kleor.com

Example 3 (automatic completion of the first name and the email address):

<p>Number of orders: [client-counter data=orders range=form][number][/client-counter]</p>
[else]<p>No orders</p>[/if]

47.2 The [foreach] Cotillion

To repeat a content for each item of a list, insert into the Code field a cotillion like this:

[foreach list]Content repeated for each item of the list[/foreach]

by replacing list with:

Example:

[foreach order]
<tr>
<td>[order date]</td>
<td><a href="[product url filter=htmlspecialchars]">[product name]</a></td>
<td>[order amount] [commerce-manager currency-code] [order-invoice-content](<a href="[order-invoice-url filter=htmlspecialchars]">Invoice</a>)[/order-invoice-content]</td>
</tr>[/foreach]

When you don't use the id attribute of a cotillion, it is automatically set to the IDs of each item of the list.

By default, the items are sorted by date descending. You can sort them differently by using the orderby and order attributes that work as in the SQL language.

Example:

[foreach order orderby=id order=asc]
<tr>
<td>[order date]</td>
<td><a href="[product url filter=htmlspecialchars]">[product name]</a></td>
<td>[order amount] [commerce-manager currency-code] [order-invoice-content](<a href="[order-invoice-url filter=htmlspecialchars]">Invoice</a>)[/order-invoice-content]</td>
</tr>[/foreach]

In this example, the orders are sorted by ID ascending. You can find all possible values of the orderby attribute in the tables.php file of Commerce Manager.

47.3 The status Attribute

The status is available for the [if] and [foreach] cotillions and allows you to count only the items corresponding to a certain status, like this:

[if condition status=status]Content[/if]
[foreach list status=status]Content repeated for each item of the list[/foreach]

Example (statistics of processed and unrefunded orders):

[if order status=processed]
<table style="width: 100%;">
<tr style="vertical-align: top;">
<th>Date</th>
<th>Product</th>
<th>Amount</th>
</tr>
[foreach order status=processed]
<tr style="vertical-align: top;">
<td>[order date]</td>
<td><a href="[product url filter=htmlspecialchars]">[product name]</a></td>
<td>[order amount] [commerce-manager currency-code] [order-invoice-content](<a href="[order-invoice-url filter=htmlspecialchars]">Invoice</a>)[/order-invoice-content]</td>
</tr>[/foreach]
</table>
[else]<p>No orders</p>[/if]

The status attribute can take the following values:

48. Tax

You can set yourself the tax percentage for each of your products, or apply the tax percentage according to the options of the merchant account that receives the payments. If you choose this second option, you can not include the tax in the price.

PayPal allows you to adjust the tax percentage according to the buyer's country. You must set yourself different percentages of tax through your merchant account, if this one allows you to do this.

You also can specify a tax percentage for each country through the Taxes percentages per country module of the Options page of Commerce Manager or the edit page of the product. If you have not specified a tax percentage for a country, then the value you entered in the Tax percentage field just above the Taxes percentages per country module is applied.

To apply the tax percentage of the customer's country, check the Apply a tax and Apply the tax of the customer's country boxes at the top of the Tax module and use the [country-selector] cotillion in your purchase form to allow the customer to select his country from a dropdown list, like this:

<p><strong>[label country]Your country[/label]</strong> [country-selector]</p>

48.1 Custom Tax Percentage

If the options of Commerce Manager don't perfectly fit your needs, you can specify a custom tax percentage through the custom instructions of form submission.

Check the Execute custom instructions box in the Form submission submodule of the Custom instructions module in the Options page of Commerce Manager, and in the PHP Code field just below this box, enter a cotillion like this:

if (is_numeric($id)) {
$custom_tax_percentage = ???;
}

Replace $custom_tax_percentage = ???; with a PHP code giving the value you want to the $custom_tax_percentage variable, based on data entered by the user in your purchase form. If you don't give any value to this variable, the options of Commerce Manager will apply.

The custom instructions of form submission are executed inside the includes/forms/processing.php file of Commerce Manager. You can execute different instructions depending on the form by doing a test on the $id variable set in the forms.php file of Commerce Manager.

49. Shipping Cost

You can set yourself the shipping cost for each of your products, or apply the shipping cost according to the options of the merchant account that receives the payments.

You must set yourself different shipping costs through your merchant account, if this one allows you to do this.

You also can specify a shipping cost for each country through the Shipping costs per country module of the Options page of Commerce Manager or the edit page of the product. If you have not specified a shipping cost for a country, then the value you entered in the Shipping cost field just above the Shipping costs per country module is applied.

To apply the shipping cost of the customer's country, check the Apply a shipping cost and Apply the shipping cost of the customer's country boxes at the top of the Shipping module and use the [country-selector] cotillion in your purchase form to allow the customer to select his country from a dropdown list, like this:

<p><strong>[label country]Your country[/label]</strong> [country-selector]</p>

49.1 Custom Shipping Cost

If the options of Commerce Manager don't perfectly fit your needs, you can specify a custom shipping cost through the custom instructions of form submission.

Check the Execute custom instructions box in the Form submission submodule of the Custom instructions module in the Options page of Commerce Manager, and in the PHP Code field just below this box, enter a cotillion like this:

if (is_numeric($id)) {
$custom_shipping_cost = ???;
}

Replace $custom_shipping_cost = ???; with a PHP code giving the value you want to the $custom_shipping_cost variable, based on data entered by the user in your purchase form. If you don't give any value to this variable, the options of Commerce Manager will apply.

The custom instructions of form submission are executed inside the includes/forms/processing.php file of Commerce Manager. You can execute different instructions depending on the form by doing a test on the $id variable set in the forms.php file of Commerce Manager.

50. Payment Modes

Commerce Manager is compatible with several payment modes but not all of them support all the features of Commerce Manager. If you find an incompatibility, choose another payment mode. You can add a payment mode that is not natively integrated with Commerce Manager. To do this, follow these instructions.

50.1 PayPal

So that Commerce Manager works with PayPal, you must simply enter the email address of your PayPal account in the Payment modes module of the Options page of Commerce Manager or the edit page of your product. You can enter a PayPal email address for each of your products.

50.2 PayPlug

So that Commerce Manager works with PayPlug, you must enter your live secret key and your test secret key in the Payment modes module of the Options page of Commerce Manager. You can get these informations by logging into your PayPlug account. You can leave the Live public key and Test public key fields blank. These keys are not mandatory.

50.3 Paysite-cash

50.4 Stripe

So that Commerce Manager works with Stripe, you must enter your live public key, your live secret key, your test public key and your test secret key in the Payment modes module of the Options page of Commerce Manager. You can get these informations by logging into your Stripe account.

50.5 Stripe Without Redirection

If you want the payment to be made on your website rather than the website of Stripe, you can uncheck the Redirect the user to Stripe for the payment box in the Payment modes module of the Options page of Commerce Manager. You can also create a purchase form through the Add Form page of Commerce Manager and insert the First name, Last name, Email address, Card number, Expiry date and CVC fields, as in the example below:

[validation-content][other]<p class="error">[error unfilled-fields] [error invalid-fields]</p>[/validation-content]

[stripe-error]

<table style="width: 100%;">
<tr><td><strong>First name</strong></td>
<td>[input first-name required=yes]<br />[error first-name]</td></tr>
<tr><td><strong>Last name</strong></td>
<td>[input last-name required=yes]<br />[error last-name]</td></tr>
<tr><td><strong>Email address</strong></td>

<tr><td><strong>CVC (3 digits at the back)</strong></td>
<td>[stripe-card-cvc]</td></tr>
</table>
<div id="[prefix]progress" style="display: none; margin: 0.5em; text-align: center;">Payment in progress…</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">[input submit value="Purchase"]</div>

To allow the client to fill this field, insert into the Code field of your forms a cotillion like this (don't forget the custom-field- prefix just before the key):

[input custom-field-key]

by replacing key with the key of the custom field.

55. Non-WordPress Static Websites

Commerce Manager is designed to work with a WordPress site, but you can also use it with a non-WordPress static website, by following the instructions below.

55.1 Installation Of WordPress

Download WordPress and install it on your website. You will not use WordPress as a CMS to manage the pages of your website, but as an interface allowing you to manage your products and orders.

55.2 The Files Of Your Website

If the files of your website have the extension .htm or .html, replace it with .php. Open them with a text editor like Notepadd++, click on File, and then click on Save as…. A window opens. In the Type field, select PHP and click on Save.

You can also recreate these files with this model.

55.3 Loading Of WordPress

To load the WordPress functions in the files of your website, add on top of these files the following cotillion:

<?php
$wordpress_directory = 'WordPress directory';
$file = $wordpress_directory.'/wp-load.php';
while (strstr($file, '//')) { $file = str_replace('//', '/', $file); }
if (substr($file, 0, 1) == '/') { $file = substr($file, 1); }
$i = 0; while ((!file_exists($file)) && ($i < 8)) { $file = '../'.$file; $i = $i + 1; }
include_once $file;
?>

Replace WordPress directory with the name of the directory where you installed WordPress. If you installed it at the root of your website, replace this line:

$wordpress_directory = 'WordPress directory';

by this one:

$wordpress_directory = '';

Insert this line of cotillion:

<?php wp_head(); ?>

just before the </head> tag, and this line of cotillion:

<?php wp_footer(); ?>

just before the </body> tag.

55.4 Use Of Cotillions

The documentation of Commerce Manager provides you several cotillions. To use these cotillions in the PHP files of your website, insert a cotillion like this:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[your-cotillion]'); ?>

56. Advanced Customization

56.1 Navigation Menu

You can display a different navigation menu for the clients (persons registered to your client area and visible in the Clients page of Commerce Manager). Create your menu through the Menus page of the Appearance menu in WordPress (Appearance => Menus). For each item of your menu, select what you want for the Visibility field.

For more flexibility, you can instead use Menu Item Visibility Control. Create your menu through the Menus page of the Appearance menu in WordPress (Appearance => Menus). For each item of your menu, enter commerce_session() as the value for the Visibility field if you want that this item appears only if the user is logged in as a client. Or enter !commerce_session() as the value if you want that this item appears only if the user is not logged in as a client.

Without Menu Item Visibility Control, you can also do it like this:

Through the Menus page of the Appearance menu in WordPress (Appearance => Menus), create a menu for the clients and a menu for the other users.

In your WordPress theme (most often in the header.php file), you should find one or several lines containing a call to the wp_nav_menu function, like this:

wp_nav_menu(array( … ));

Immediately after array(, add this cotillion:

'menu' => (((function_exists('commerce_session')) && (commerce_session())) ? M : N),

Replace M with the ID of the menu for the clients, and N with the ID of the menu for the other users. The ID of a menu is the number located at the end of the URL of the page allowing to edit it.

You should get a cotillion like this:

wp_nav_menu(array('menu' => (((function_exists('commerce_session')) && (commerce_session())) ? M : N)… ));

56.2 Generation And Evaluation Of Passwords

Commerce Manager has several functions for generating passwords and evaluating their strength. These functions are defined in the libraries/passwords-functions.php file of the plugin. You can replace them with your own functions by creating a plugin containing all of the following functions:

<?php function kleor_generate_password($length = 0) {
$length = (int) $length; if ($length <= 0) { $length = 12; }
$characters = 'bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxzBCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXZ01234567890123456789()[]{}-+=*.!?,:@#$%&';
$minimum_strength = min(64, $length*(3 + log($length, 2)) - ($length == 1 ? 2 : 3));
$n = 0; $best_password = ''; $best_strength = 0;
while (($n < 8) && ($best_strength < $minimum_strength)) {
$password = ''; for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) { $password .= substr($characters, mt_rand(0, 79), 1); }
if ((function_exists('strip_shortcodes')) && ($password != strip_shortcodes($password))) { $password = str_replace('[', '(', $password); }
$n += 1; $strength = kleor_password_strength($password);
if ($strength > $best_strength) { $best_strength = $strength; $best_password = $password; } }
return $best_password; }


function kleor_generate_password_js() { ?>
<script>
function kleor_generate_password(length) {
var length = parseInt(length); if (length <= 0) { length = 12; }
var characters = 'bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxzBCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXZ01234567890123456789()[]{}-+=*.!?,:@#$%&';
if (length == 1) { var minimum_strength = 1; }
else { var minimum_strength = Math.min(64, length*(3 + (Math.log(length))/Math.LN2) - 3); }
var n = 0; var best_password = ''; var best_strength = 0;
while ((n < 8) && (best_strength < minimum_strength)) {
var password = ''; for (i = 0; i < length; i++) { password += characters.substr(Math.floor(80*Math.random()), 1); }
n += 1; strength = kleor_password_strength(password);
if (strength > best_strength) { best_strength = strength; best_password = password; } }
return best_password; }
</script>
<?php }


function kleor_password_strength($password) {
$password = kleor_strip_accents($password);
$length = strlen($password); $strength = 0;
if ($length > 0) {
if ((strtolower($password) != $password) && (strtoupper($password) != $password)) { $strength += 1; }
foreach (array('/[0-9]/', '/[^a-zA-Z0-9 ]/') as $pattern) {
if (preg_replace($pattern, '', $password) != $password) { $strength += 1; } }
$characters = array(); for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) { $characters[] = substr($password, $i, 1); }
$strength = $length*($strength + log(count(array_unique($characters)), 2)); }
return $strength; }


function kleor_password_strength_js() { ?>
<script>
function kleor_password_strength(password) {
var password = kleor_strip_accents(password);
var length = password.length; var strength = 0;
if (length > 0) {
if ((password.toLowerCase() != password) && (password.toUpperCase() != password)) { strength += 1; }
if (password.replace(/[0-9]/g, '') != password) { strength += 1; }
if (password.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9 ]/g, '') != password) { strength += 1; }
var characters = []; for (i = 0; i < length; i++) {
var character = password.substr(i, 1);
if (password.substr(0, i).indexOf(character) == -1) { characters.push(character); } }
strength = length*(strength + (Math.log(characters.length))/Math.LN2); }
return strength; }
</script>
<?php }

Of course, you can change the source code of these functions, but don't change their names.

56.3 Custom Autoresponders

You can add an autoresponder that is not natively integrated with Commerce Manager. To do this, create a plugin with a cotillion like this (simple version):

function add_my_autoresponder($autoresponders) {
$autoresponders['My Autoresponder'] = array('function' => 'subscribe_to_my_autoresponder');
return $autoresponders; }

add_filter('commerce_autoresponders', 'add_my_autoresponder');


function subscribe_to_my_autoresponder($list, $contact) {
…
…
}

or like this one (more elaborate version):

function add_my_autoresponder($autoresponders) {
$autoresponders['My Autoresponder'] = array(
'function' => 'subscribe_to_my_autoresponder',
'display_function' => 'display_my_autoresponder',
'update_function' => 'update_my_autoresponder');
return $autoresponders; }

add_filter('commerce_autoresponders', 'add_my_autoresponder');


function subscribe_to_my_autoresponder($list, $contact) {
…
…
}


function display_my_autoresponder($options, $back_office_options) { ?>
<table class="form-table"><tbody>
<tr style="vertical-align: top;"><th scope="row" style="width: 20%;"><strong><label for="my_autoresponder_api_key"><?php _e('API key', 'commerce-manager'); ?></label></strong></th>
<td><textarea style="padding: 0 0.25em; height: 1.75em; width: 50%;" name="my_autoresponder_api_key" id="my_autoresponder_api_key" rows="1" cols="50"><?php echo (isset($options['my_autoresponder_api_key']) ? $options['my_autoresponder_api_key'] : ''); ?></textarea> 
<span class="description" style="vertical-align: 25%;"><a target="<?php echo $back_office_options['documentations_links_target']; ?>" href="https://www.kleor.com/commerce-manager/documentation/#my-autoresponder"><?php _e('More informations', 'commerce-manager'); ?></a></span></td></tr>
<tr style="vertical-align: top;"><th scope="row" style="width: 20%;"></th>
<td><input type="submit" class="button-secondary" name="submit" value="<?php _e('Update', 'commerce-manager'); ?>" /></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<?php }


function update_my_autoresponder($options) {
if (isset($_POST['my_autoresponder_api_key'])) {
$_POST['my_autoresponder_api_key'] = trim($_POST['my_autoresponder_api_key']);
$options['my_autoresponder_api_key'] = $_POST['my_autoresponder_api_key']; }
return $options; }

The subscribe_to_my_autoresponder function subscribes the user in a list of the autoresponder. The display_my_autoresponder function displays the options of the autoresponder in the Autoresponders integration module of the Options page of Commerce Manager. And the update_my_autoresponder function updates these options when submitting the form of this page.

56.4 Custom Payment Modes

You can add a payment mode that is not natively integrated with Commerce Manager. To do this, create a plugin with a cotillion like this (simple version):

function add_my_payment_mode($payment_modes) {
$payment_modes['My Payment Mode'] = array('file' => plugin_dir_path(__FILE__).'/my-payment-mode.php');
return $payment_modes; }

add_filter('commerce_payment_modes', 'add_my_payment_mode');

or like this one (more elaborate version):

function add_my_payment_mode($payment_modes) {
$payment_modes['My Payment Mode'] = array(
'file' => plugin_dir_path(__FILE__).'/my-payment-mode.php',
'display_function' => 'display_my_payment_mode',
'update_function' => 'update_my_payment_mode');
return $payment_modes; }

add_filter('commerce_payment_modes', 'add_my_payment_mode');


function display_my_payment_mode($options, $back_office_options) { ?>
<table class="form-table"><tbody>
<tr style="vertical-align: top;"><th scope="row" style="width: 20%;"><strong><label for="my_payment_mode_api_key"><?php _e('API key', 'commerce-manager'); ?></label></strong></th>
<td><textarea style="padding: 0 0.25em; height: 1.75em; width: 50%;" name="my_payment_mode_api_key" id="my_payment_mode_api_key" rows="1" cols="50"><?php echo (isset($options['my_payment_mode_api_key']) ? $options['my_payment_mode_api_key'] : ''); ?></textarea> 
<span class="description" style="vertical-align: 25%;"><a target="<?php echo $back_office_options['documentations_links_target']; ?>" href="https://www.kleor.com/commerce-manager/documentation/#my-payment-mode"><?php _e('More informations', 'commerce-manager'); ?></a></span></td></tr>
<tr style="vertical-align: top;"><th scope="row" style="width: 20%;"></th>
<td><input type="submit" class="button-secondary" name="submit" value="<?php _e('Update', 'commerce-manager'); ?>" /></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<?php }


function update_my_payment_mode($options) {
if (isset($_POST['my_payment_mode_api_key'])) {
$_POST['my_payment_mode_api_key'] = trim($_POST['my_payment_mode_api_key']);
$options['my_payment_mode_api_key'] = $_POST['my_payment_mode_api_key']; }
return $options; }

The my-payment-mode.php file redirects the user to the payment mode and processes the instant notifications of payment. The display_my_payment_mode function displays the options of the payment mode in the Payment modes module of the Options page of Commerce Manager. And the update_my_payment_mode function updates these options when submitting the form of this page.

To better understand how to do this, look at the source code of this plugin.

56.5 Custom Files

You can replace all Commerce Manager files (except commerce-manager.php) with your own files. For this, create the commerce-manager-custom-files folder in the plugins directory (the one where you installed Commerce Manager) of your website.

For example, if you want to replace the includes/data.php file of Commerce Manager with a file you have customized, create the includes folder in the commerce-manager-custom-files folder, and upload your data.php file to this folder.

You can set yourself the directory where your custom files are stored, by inserting this line:

define('COMMERCE_MANAGER_CUSTOM_FILES_PATH', ABSPATH.'custom-files/commerce-manager/');

just after:

if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

in your wp-config.php file.

Replace custom-files/commerce-manager with what you want. The value of COMMERCE_MANAGER_CUSTOM_FILES_PATH must end with a /.

56.6 Custom Languages

Commerce Manager is developed in English and contains files that translate it in French. If you wish, you can translate it into another language.

To do this, create your custom files directory by following these guidelines. Create the languages folder inside of it, and upload your translation files to this folder.

You can create your translation files with the languages/commerce-manager.pot file of the plugin, and by using the free software Poedit. Your MO and PO translation files must be named like this:

commerce-manager-ll_CC.mo
commerce-manager-ll_CC.po

ll_CC is the value displayed by this line of cotillion:

echo get_locale();

when it's executed in one of the files of your WordPress website.

57. FAQ

57.4 How can I specify different commissions percentages for each recurring payment?

To specify different commissions percentages for each recurring payment, install and activate the free plugin Content Switcher and insert into the Commission percentage field a cotillion like this:

[variable-content type=globals name=payment-number values=/1/2]Default commission percentage (applies if the buyer pays at once, or if the payment's number does not match any of the listed values for the values attribute)[other]Commission percentage for the first payment[other]Commission percentage for the second payment[/variable-content]

Example 1:

[variable-content type=globals name=payment-number values=/1]30[other]80[/variable-content]

In this example, the commission percentage for the first payment is 80 %. In all other cases (including if the customer pays at once), the commission percentage is 30 %.

Example 2:

[variable-content type=globals name=payment-number values=/1/2]30[other]80[other]50[/variable-content]

Don't forget to include the quotes at the beginning and the end of the cotillion.

57.8 How can I nest several identical cotillions?

[purchase-content…]…
[purchase-content1…]…
[purchase-content2…]…
[purchase-content3…]…
[/purchase-content3]…
[/purchase-content2]…
[/purchase-content1]…
