v1.8.4
Added
- Vendors can charge different prices for different lengths of access. Until now a site offered one length and a vendor set one price for it. You can now set up to three lengths in Settings, and each vendor prices whichever of them they want to sell; a buyer picks from the ones that vendor has priced. Sites offering a single length carry on exactly as before, and every price already set stays where it is.
- Commission on gallery access sales. Set a percentage, a fixed amount, or both, and leave both empty to take nothing. The amount is added on top at checkout and appears to the buyer as its own line, on the block checkout and the classic one alike, so the vendor still receives the price they set. With HivePress Marketplace running, the fee is recorded against the order so that it does not count towards the vendor's earnings.
Changed
- Buying access while you still have some now extends it. Before, a second purchase was ignored, which was harmless when there was only one thing to buy and would have meant taking someone's money for nothing now that there is more than one. Refunding one of those purchases now takes back only the days it paid for, instead of everything.
- The length of access is recorded on the order. An order that takes days to clear, such as a bank transfer, now grants what the site was offering when it was paid for, rather than whatever the setting happens to say when the money arrives.
- The gallery's settings have moved out of the Vendors tab into a Gallery tab of their own. Nothing you have configured moves or resets.
Fixed
- The Settings link beside the plugin on the Plugins screen, and the warning shown when protected photos cannot be moved out of the published folder, both pointed at the old tab.
