Best out there, designed to do it all, A++.
What can I say, it does it all. I can start with the core engine, and build a custom realty website, or by building new fieldsets, a completely different looking and functioning classifieds website, or how about auction website(?) or what ever I want! For $650, it would take me a month to write that core engine. Not remotely worth it. In addition it accepts all Esvon's plugins, and if you feel the need, write your own. With the click of a check box one can add, update, change just about anything. How about injecting a payment system? All set. Use whats there or add your own. Accepts 4 major payment gateways. Esvon encrypts core components, but leaves important files open for editing or changing. Import just about anything you need to customize your pages, including shockwave files, media and more. Support usually comes within 24hrs. (many times sooner) and 99% of the time its something I overlooked. The admin has so much control, it easy to overlook one of hundreds of check boxes or tweak zones.. I've read where some people complain about support, price, 'bugs', etc. All I can say is, this script isn't for impatient little kids. Its for adults who are serious about making MONEY. Everything worked for me from 'searching' to 'modules' with zero bugs. Only thing I found that could use a little more thought were a few help files or check box descriptions, but with a quick test, one can easily see the made changes. 1 days setup, 1 day fieldsets, 1 day formatting, 2 days concept, 1 day tweaking. That's a week and one can easily charge $4000 to set this up. No a bad weeks salary. Again, A++. Ed
Credits module allows website members to purchase credits packs with a single
credit card (wire transfer, paypal, money order, etc) payment.
After this credits can be used to make multiple website payments for listing placement or membership plans
at your website based on Esvon Classifieds script - universal classified ads software.
With Credits module you have a system where website members could pre-purchase ad placement / membership credits.
This allows the customer to pre-purchase ad space at a savings and then use their credit as they place ads.
Only one credit card charge can take place for multiple ads (or future ads)
without getting charged a service fee from the credit card company for each individual transaction.
USER BUYING CREDITS
Once users log into their account area they can select an option to purchase credits. This gives them
a drop down menu, in which they can select how many credits they desire and
what dollar value relates to the credit amount.
Example :
100 credits = $200.00
200 credits = $300.00
400 credits = $400.00
And so on.
Once they select a pricing plan they have the option to pay for these
credits by credit card, Paypal, cheque, cash etc.
If it is done via credit card or Paypal
"automatically on the net" this will automatically credit their account
(with credits) and deposit the actual $ funds in site owner account.
If they chose to pay buy cheque, cash, "manual payment" the
credits will be added by classifieds webmaster once he received their payment.
Once the credits have been approved either automatically or by the administrator it
displays the amount of credits they have in there account details so they
can see how many they have, whenever they are log in.
USER USING CREDITS
Once a user has credits they can use them to place ads.
Just as they were able to place an ad using $$$ they now also have the
option to use credits they just purchased buy clicking on a selection
function/tab choosing either $$$ or credits to place an ad. They also
have the option in the "payment" area to select a default to use Credits or
$$$. Next to this option they can click on a link to purchase more credits if they need.
They then just simply place the ad using credits.
If they chose to use credits to place an ad their account will automatically
subtract the amount they used to place the ad and displays the amount of
credits they have left in their account details.
If they chose to use $$$ to place an ad it will function as normal.
ADMINISTRATOR AREA
Administrator has option to set a $ value to a
credit value. This value will calculate or convert the set ad amounts from
$$ to credits when the user selects there payment option to use credits.
Example: In the Administrator under price plans you set the ad amounts to
Ad placement = $5.00
Bolding = $1
Better placement = $0
Etc.
Value set for 1 credit = $2.00
Therefore when the user selects the payment option to use credits
the following credit amounts are used:
Ad placement = 2.5 credits.
Bolding = 0.5 credit
Better placement = 0 credits
Etc.
In a price plan you can set the payment option for credits
by entering the amount of credits and the cost to purchase those credits.
Example
100 credits = $200.00
200 credits = $300.00
400 credits = $400.00
And so on.
This gives you the option to discount credits depending on the amount
users buy.
This also is the displayed amount users can buy when purchasing credit.
