The Sell Media Manual Purchases plugin is designed for photographers and artists who want to sell digital downloads and physical products directly from their WordPress website.

The plugin is an extension of the Sell Media plugin and offers an alternative payment option for buyers who don’t have access to credit cards or who aren’t comfortable using electronic payment gateways like PayPal or Stripe.

With the Sell Media Manual Purchases plugin, sellers can offer their visitors the option to make offline payments using methods like checks, wire transfers, or direct cash.

The plugin provides a way for users to manage manual purchases, such as those made via check, money order, or other non-electronic means. By using this plugin, sellers can streamline their sales process and better manage their online store.

To use the Sell Media Manual Purchases plugin, sellers first need to activate the plugin on their WordPress site. Once activated, visitors to the site will see an additional payment option above PayPal or Stripe.

When the Manual Purchase radio button is selected, additional fields will be shown to buyers so they can bypass the PayPal or Stripe payment gateways altogether.

After the buyer fills out the fields and clicks Checkout Now, an email will be sent to either the seller or the contributor (the creator of the work) containing the order details and payment information.

The seller can then process the payment offline and fulfill the order.

In summary, the Sell Media Manual Purchases plugin offers an alternative payment option for buyers who don’t have access to credit cards or who aren’t comfortable using electronic payment gateways like PayPal or Stripe.

The plugin streamlines the sales process for sellers and provides a way to manage manual purchases.
