Shopping Cart YAK Wordpress Plugin Review

Other e-commerce add-ons that I have discussed these eShop and WP e-Commerce Shopping Cart brought YAK to my attention Author and Jason R. Briggs describes the plugin as follows:

YAK is a plug-in open source WordPress Shopping. Combining products with blog entries, so that the message ID is also the product code. Supports product pages and posts, various management types of products by categories, and provides options customizable PayPal payments (credit check or deposit slip base map, PayPal integration, Authorize.net and Pro).

So I wanted to test to see how they compare with the other plugins I tried. So let's get directly advantages and disadvantages of this plugin.

PROFESSIONAL

Includes sales reports and graphs

shopping cart is delivered YAK Report with a put option on the Tools menu. Compared with other plugins, is undoubtedly a positive effect reports available to see more from the State sales. The Reports of this plugin are:

• Top Sellers of the year
• The best sales month
• A simple chart to see sales month

A good range of payment options available

YAK shopping has several payment options available and is integrated into the plugin. Unlike trade e plugins others are limited or require the purchase of additional tickets for payment, YAK covers most of them. This plugin provides:

• Guide to Credit Card Processing
• Credit accounts receivable
• Authorize.net
• Paypal and Paypal Pro
• Google Checkout

While you have an account with the merchants of the previous payment, it is very difficult to relate to your shopping cart. Although, I realized that even lack of payment options such as cash, check or money order and delivery. YAK also offers SSL secure connection for all previous payments.

THE CONS

Documentation and help is hard to find
I found the plugin easy to install, but it is very difficult to navigate through the Board of Directors Yak. It is partly due to the lack of documentation on how to use this plugin. However, the program most people use YAK difficult and would not find to be user friendly. I was also very surprised to find I had to pay for a manual for the documentation, which gives the impression that the plugin was designed only to make money, but not the use of documentation. I'd rather pay for a plugin to the plugin documentation for them to have to waste time thinking how to use yourself.

The lack of capacity among

After the introduction of a product to a post and link to YAK found to be very basic and lacks many features. There are no fields to insert images of the products. It was not easy to find areas of product attributes, such obvious that the weight and quantity. I felt lost when trying to add products.

It is easy to use and the lack of design on the front

As mentioned earlier, without documentation the user must spend time working how this plugin. What makes it worse is that each section of the administration of Yak is not explicit. After initially install the plugin was to find a menu called YAK, but after realizing that there was nothing there, I found it was added to the Tools menu. He added three new links: orders, products and reports of sales. I think developers YAK thought I could find a way to use it, but they are wrong. It is more frustrated!
To mention, that there is a YAK under configuration options allow you to change Commodities, unloading, payment, special, advanced, shipping, Specials. It does relieve some of my frustrations when I heard, but I still could not see much in the front end. As you can see, a plugin very poorly designed and lack of friendship in the front and the administration.

Conclusion

I decided I'll let this plugin over three hours just to understand how the plugin could be integrated into a Wordpress blog. In general, there is a lack of respect and without manual, it is very difficult to work on their own. For users who want something simple and a basket that works all on, YAK is definitely not the solution. I would like return to the use of WP e-commerce or electronic commerce for the whole day.

My rating for this plugin is 1 out of 5 stars.
