(0 reviews)

1 Screenshot

DragonByte eCommerce is a highly advanced digital retailer for XenForo, containing advanced features such as multiple pricing tiers, coupons and automatic sales.

Fully integrated with XenForo 2, DragonByte eCommerce takes advantage of all built-in XenForo 2 functionality like the new Payment Profile system which allows you to accept payments from different payment processors.

Uses

DragonByte eCommerce is the most advanced eCommerce solution fully integrated into your XenForo forum. Create virtually unlimited products and offer them for sale, with digital products supporting multiple pricing tiers for different license lengths, add-on products for optional extras such as Branding Free keys, and more.

Collect information regarding your digital products' installations via license fields that can optionally be made required before download is allowed. Any changes to the license fields will be meticulously logged, and the log entry when a customer downloads a product will contain a snapshot of the license fields as they were when they download the product.

Downloads can be added either as external URLs, as attachments, or auto-generated from a folder on your server. No matter how you choose to store your downloads, you'll find the option you're looking for.

If you so choose, all sales can be subject to sales tax depending on the country of origin of the person purchasing the product. VAT is also fully supported, and the VAT rates are automatically kept up to date, so you will never have to manually keep up with changing VAT rates. Customers can also enter their registered VAT ID to be exempt from sales tax if applicable.

See changelog

Released

4.3.0 Patch Level 1

Update highlights

This version fixes a regression from v4.2.0. It was no longer possible to add a pricing tier to a new product, this has now been corrected.

4.3.0:Update highlights

After running @ DBTech for a few weeks now, v4.3.0 is now ready for release 🎉" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f389.png" title="Party popper :tada:" data-shortname=":tada:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" style="box-sizing: border-box; border-style: none; max-width: none; height: auto; vertical-align: text-bottom; width: 1.467em; color: rgb(20, 20, 20); font-family: "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">

This version contains too many features and changes to list, but the most important is a change to how number rounding is handled internally. Because currencies usually use decimal places, it is important to get decimal handling in code correctly. Starting with v4.3.0, eCommerce now uses the BC Math extension. Please ensure you have this extension installed & enabled before upgrading.

Furthermore, this version aims to improve the accuracy of sales tax by subtracting coupon discounts and automatic discounts before sales tax is calculated.

Lastly, you now have more options for how sales tax is handled, and choosing EU VAT or Australian GST will now change the "Sales tax" phrase during checkout to "VAT" or "GST" respectively.

Another feature worth highlighting is the ability for customers to transfer licenses to other users, assuming you as the owner has enabled this feature. You can also control how often a license can be transferred. By default, it follows the XenForo rules (not within the first 90 days and not within 90 days of a previous transfer). All transfers are logged and can be viewed in the AdminCP.

Please see the full changelog for the remaining changes.
