插件 [XFA] RMMarketplace 5.3.0 RC1

Description
RM Makertplace allows you and/or your users to sell resources from the resource manager, like in a marketplace !

Supports three types of products :

• Digital products (license based):
  • with or without license renewal
  • with or without licence restrictions
  • with or without url required to download
• Physical products
• Service offers

Through the Resource Categories configuration system, the administrator select which categories are intended for the sale of resources and the type of products that can be put for sale among the ones here above.
Each of these categories can be set to either:

• use the paypal address set in the admincp through options;
• use the paypal address set for that category;
• let each user input their own paypal address to sell their resources.

You can also allow your user to accept other payment means (cash, western union, check...) through exchanges between the buyer and the seller.

When adding a resource to these categories, your users can then select wether or not they want to sell it or not.

Along with the capability to sell resources, RM Marketplace is also a real source of monetization for you, and that thanks to two features:

• You can require a percentage on sales, automatically retrieved upon payment (for paypal payments only).
• You can provide users with the capability to pay to have their resource featured on the resource manager index and categories pages.
