Item Description There are some other ways available out there, that many authors use to maintenance the product’s support for their marketplace items. Custom WP theme with BBPress, ticksy, or other forum related plugin/system. Some of these systems, only allow people that have purchase license code to register into the forum (they put the purchase license id field with the registration from). Some only provide one on one support type. This is not a bad thing but this is seems not really good solution in some cases.
This plugin give you some more flexible solution. Allow any user to register into your forum BUT only verified buyer can ask for support. Setup new thread notification email for your staff, user can subscribe and unsubscribe into thread, easy to fully integrated with your custom theme, and more…
How the verify process work? User need to provide the valid purchase license code per item, to have full access into forum topic that you’ve assigned into your marketplace item.
Is it mean all verified buyers can access all topics in your forum? nope, if user only verified in 1 item, he only can access forum topic for the item that he had purchased, to access another topic for another item he need to provide another valid purchase license code.
What if user need to provide some private data? Yes, in some cases user need to provide some private data, like wordpress admin password, etc. This plugin allow all verified buyers to post a private thread (only the thread poster, admins and staffs can access the thread).
That’s all? not that’s all, this plugin also allow you to create forum topic for staff only (inner forum discussion between admins and staffs).
This plugin only for envato’s authors? No, you can use this plugin and use the forum features. If you’re not an envato authors simply ignore the envato api settings, and you’re ready to go.
