JigoShop for BuddyPress Brings E-Commerce to Social Networking

There are many e-commerce plugins out there that claim BuddyPress compatibility, but most do not fully integrate with the platform. The free JigoShop plugin now has full integration with BuddyPress with the help of Themekraft’s new plugin: JigoShop for BuddyPress. It’s a brand new option for setting your store inside of your social network.

What does JigoShop for BuddyPress do in a nutshell?

This plugin integrates your Jigoshop e-commerce store with your BuddyPress social network and user profile pages. Checkout, member data and payment history is available in the user’s profile, as you might expect for a BuddyPress-integrated store.

Features of JigoShop for BuddyPress:

• Integrates the Jigoshop with BuddyPress the profile pages
• Checkout, member data and payment history are available in the profile
• Adds an option for downloadable products to give them a time restriction
• Download link and the time left will be displayed in the “Purchase History” in the users’ profile
• Synchronizes all Jigoshop data with your BuddyPress – New accounts registered via checkout will automatically be integrated with BuddyPress and all data will sync back and forth between JigoShop and your social network

Fallback support included:

If you ever have the need to turn off BuddyPress or if the user doesn’t wish to become a member of your network, this plugin will fall back to use the regular JigoShop pages. This should give you confidence when selecting JigoShop for your e-commerce solution. You can always revert back to using it without BuddyPress without messing up your entire website.
