zStore Manager Basic

Description

zStore Manager Basic gives a Zazzle shopkeeper or Zazzle Affiliate site the ability to easily display Zazzle products on another domain.
zStore Manager Basic can be configured using a setup page. The user can configure the shop name, associate’s id, custom url, and the product layout. Users can
also use the cache so that images load faster. The user can also use a shortcode on a page which will override the settings in the Settings page, except
for the cache and the custom url.

Recent upgrade broke this plugin. Contacted the developer and received a quick response from Ilene. The issue was fixed in less than 24 hours and the plugin was up and running again. Appreciate the quick and continued support for this plugin.

Activate plugin….my site fouls up. deactivate plugin….my site looks good again. nope, not even gonna try if this plugin works. it’s too much work if it means I need to search for the part that breaks my design and hope it hasn’t broken anything else as well.

I am running a non-profit and Zazzle is a fund raiser. But I have frequently have had to deal with a broken “short code”. When it works, it’s great, but I can’t say the support is timely. I wish there was a paid version, that I could count on.
