Braintree Payment Supports:

Braintree is a popular payment service provider supporting merchants in 130+ countries, and with design and technology clients including Angry Birds, Airbnb, Fab, 37 Signals, GitHub and more. Besides low transaction costs, they also provide a Javascript library which means credit card information is encrypted in your customer’s web browser. Check out Braintree Payment Supports.

PayU Romania:

Adding to the suite of payment gateways for PayU territories is this extension, which integrates the Romanian market-leading payment provider. It joins PayU Ukraine, Russi, Czech Republic and Poland, and means that you can quickly and easily sell to Romanian customers. Check out PayU Romania.

Minimum Orders:

This extension is aptly-named, as you can set a minimum amount for orders by your customers. Either set a minimum product quantity, or a minimum financial amount, for purchases to be completed. Alternatively, you can also set a maximum amount or value if you need to limit purchases for whatever reason. Check out Minimum Orders now.

Buy Selected:

Want to make it easier for customers to buy in bulk? Particularly useful for wholesale and retailers to business – the Buy Selected extension allows bulk purchases to be made from product list pages. That’s great when a repeat customer wants to place a big order without having to visit every single product page! Check out Buy Selected.

Ajax Content Browser:

The Ajax Content Browser is a cool new way to display products and other media (blog posts, videos etc), as a Pinterest-style wall which can cope with infinite scrolling. Given the huge popularity of that type of design, it will give a design lift to any store, and in addition to Jigoshop-integration, it also accommodates media from Flickr, Youtube and Vimeo. Check out Ajax Content Browser.

Payment Gateways for Skrill, FuturePay, PayU Russia and PayU Ukraine:

Jigoshop 1.7 now includes FuturePay payments integrated into the core program alongside PayPal Standard. But if you wish to remain on Jigoshop version 1.6 or prior – you can use our free FuturePay payment gateway to still benefit from their services.

We also have a free Skrill payment gateway, alongside the native gateways for PayU Russia and PayU Ukraine. Both PayU Poland and PayU Czech Republic are already available for Jigoshop.

Please note that the FuturePay extension is not required from Jigoshop 1.7 onwards as the same functionality is built into the Jigoshop core.

And don’t forget to help shape the future of Jigoshop – and win an iPad Mini – with our quick 5-minute Jigoshop survey.

FuturePay solves the trust issue by allowing customers to quickly sign up for an account with a $500 credit limit which they can then use to shop in any store offering it as a payment option.

Not only that, but it also makes shopping much easier as customers only need to supply their FuturePay username and password to complete their order. That makes it easier to spend money with you, particularly using mobile or tablet devices. Customers and merchants both benefit from FuturePay’s PCI compliant security and fraud prevention tools.

And as a merchant, FuturePay doesn’t charge any set-up or monthly fees, with just a small transaction fee. You’ll be able to monitor account, sales and payment information, with earnings wired or deposited into your merchant banking account.

You can download Jigoshop now or update your existing installation to gain access to FuturePay (You’ll be prompted to sign up for a FuturePay account if you don’t already have one). For anyone preferring to stick with an older version of Jigoshop, we also have a standalone extension if required.

Please note that FuturePay is available to be used by any merchant and store – but only customers residing in the U.S can currently make purchases via FuturePay.

Download Jigoshop 1.7 now to benefit from FuturePay. You also get a number of tweaks and fixes, updated Swedish translation courtesy of Peter Hjalmarsson, updated .pot files, and the addition of a setting for default payment gateway on the checkout.

But now it’s an even better solution as we release an updated and improved version.

Premium Shipping 1.2

We’ve listened to all the feedback received since Premium Shipping was released and the latest version of the extension now includes some of the most requested additions.

Firstly, all shipping rules can now have specific products attached, and those rules will only apply if those products are added to a cart by the customer. That’s perfect for stores which sell items requiring unique shipping solutions, or if your general shipping settings don’t apply to everything you sell.

And we’ve also added a minimum and maximum value range for weights, prices and item quantity, so you can make it easier to manage your shipping settings, and also encourage customers to buy more – why not encourage them to add an extra product for the same shipping price?

Premium Shipping is also easier to use. We’ve looked at the administrator tooltips and descriptions within the extension to make them easier to understand and explain the features more effectively, as well as making some usability and design improvements to the extension itself.

And with shops around the globe using Jigoshop, we’ve made it easier to translate Premium Shipping into other languages with a .pot file included for translators.

Summary of additions to Premium Shipping 1.2:

• Each shipping rule can have specific products attached, and will only apply when that product is added to a shopping cart.
• Minimum and maximum values can now be set for weight, price and quantity of items.
• Easier language translation with an included .pot file
• Improved design, with clearer tool-tips and descriptions to explain features
• Minor bug fixes to further improve performance.

If you’re already using Premium Shipping, you’ll be prompted to update to the latest version. If not, it’s a great time to invest in our most comprehensive shipping solution for eCommerce stores. For just $79 you can set flat, price, weight, quantity and location-based rates, combine them, create your own rules, and much more.

Other plugin updates this week include:

• Authorize.net CIM

* Added: default new credit card selected
* Fixed: disabling eChecks did not hide the Bank Account number during checkout
* Fixed: in some circumstances the duplicate payment profile error were raised and transaction was not processed

• Jigoshop Product Attribute Images

* Fixed: in some circumstances attributes images do not display correctly

• Cross Sells & Up Sells

The post Premium Shipping 1.2 adds even more features appeared first on Jigoshop.

Plus you can now use images to aid category and sub-category navigation, and increase those sales transactions when customers can find what they want more easily.

Jigoshop Category Pages and Thumbnails:

Help your customers navigate to the right product category by using product images as links to both categories and sub-categories in your Jigoshop store. This extension makes your eCommerce business more usable, particular if category titles may not be clear to every user. Check out Category Pages and Thumbnails now.

Jigoshop Sermepa Payment Gateway:

Spanish shoppers will be familiar with Sermepa, which is becoming know as Redsys, the largest car payment and processing infrastructure in Spain. So check out the Sermepa payment gateway to offer better ways for Spanish customers to pay.

Jigoshop Gateway Fees:

When a customer buys from your online store, you need to cover your costs and hopefully make a decent profit. In addition to the costs of creating your product, shipping fees and any applicable taxes, as a store owner you also have to cover the cost of fees from your choice of payment gateway.

Now you can include the payment gateway fees in order totals. This extension works with percentages, fixed amounts or a combination of both to accommodate your choice of payment provider. Stop losing money on every transaction with Gateway Fees Integration for Jigoshop
