Connection between Wordpress and Comersus Shopping Cart

Wordpress is a very popular and comprehensive open source blog application. Many users of this application contacted us requesting an integration between the e-commerce functionalities of Comersus and Wordpress. They needed to be able to charge for subscriptions to paid contents located in Wordpress.

Comersus is pleased to announce the release of a plug-in to connect Comersus shopping cart to Wordpress.

How the plug-in works:

1. The administrator of the blog must indicate a password for those posts he wishes to include in the paid subscription.
2. The visitors to the blog will have to enter that password in order to read the paid contents.
3. Visitors who do not have a password will see a link to purchase the subscription password.
4. That purchase link will redirect users to Comersus shopping cart.
5. Within Comersus, the user will be able to enter payment and obtain the password through an e-mail in real time.
6. The user should then enter the password at Wordpress and have access to the contents.

The blog administrator also has a function within Comersus BackOffice to modify the password given to Wordpress articles, whether by means of a Post ID or through a global password change.

Requirements:
1. Wordpress 2.3 or superior
2. Comersus should be installed using a mySQL database and it should share the same database in which Wordpress has been installed.
3. Comersus Power Pack
