Marketpress requires Paypal Chained Payment Info even when not using Paypal

The subject says it all. Marketpress requires the “Fees to Collect (%)” and “PayPal Email” fields in the PayPal Chained Payments to be filled out, even when not using the PayPal or the global marketplace. It should hide the PayPal Chained Payments section entirely if not using PayPal and the Global Marketplace, if I understand your intentions correctly on when the chained payments are used.

    Hello David,

    I hope you’re well today!

    I assume that the MarketPress is “network enabled” on your site. This usually means that you wish to collect a percentage of each sale. The Global Shopping Cart is not required to collect that fee so it’s up to you whether you enable it or not. However, only PayPal Chained Payments gateway support this.

    Having that said, I’m not sure if we’re on a same side with this. Could you please tell me what kind of setup would you like to achieve? On a Multisite WordPress install MarketPress can be used as a “global multi-vendor” shop – and this is the case when it’s network enabled – or a number of separate stores and you then should enable it on “per-site” base.

    Please advise.

    Best regards,

    Adam

    I am hosting a multi-site network where each site is entirely separate. I network enabled it because I didn’t want to have to do it site-by-site. I have no intention of having a global multi-vendor store, now or in the future.

    I guess your intention is that I should enable it site-by-site then, but I always want it enabled on each site. I suppose I could programmatically enable it when a user registers. However, it would make the most sense, in my opinion, if you had a setting that said “enable global store” and then presented the PayPal chaining and global store pages as a result of that being enabled.

    For now I will leave it network enabled and just put 0.01 or something in the % field. Since it’s not being used, it really doesn’t matter anyway. It was just a UX concern I figured I’d bring to your attention.

    Best,

    Dave
