PRIZE 9:
WP-Central-Pricing
A Commercial WordPress Plug-In
This product was inspired by Will Bontrager's assistance in solving a problem I was having on instantpracticebuilder.com where I wanted to mention product price not only on the sales page, but also on landing pages and the content pages.
Will's assistance resulted in a short PHP script which he worked through with me on his support forum, and which he subsequently published in his newsletter as Central Prices File For Easy Site-wide Changes
When I decided to migrate my membership site to a Wordpress foundation, I realized that I had found the script so useful I had this plugin created so that I could continue using it and still keep all my site management inside the Wordpress administration dashboard.
The plugin allows a user one central repository for pricing management. It provides a simple and automatic "search and replace" functionality to a "shortcode" for each product, eliminating the possibility of overlooking a page where a product price has been mentioned.
To use it, simply install and activate just as you would any other Wordpress plugin. Then look under "Settings" to find the plugin admin panel.
Then, you simply add your product name and price, then create a "shortcode" which you will then place anywhere in your post or page where you wish to mention that product price. Later, when you decide to raise or lower your price, you only have to change on the plugin admin page and the price is changed everywhere on your blog site.

International Ecommerce Do's And Don'ts
International Product Shipping Methods And Customs Forms
(a short companion report to the "Keeping International Ecommerce Wealth Safe From Fraudsters" ebook)
In the late 1990's and early 2000's we sold an automotive accessory B2B and B2C. The average profit per unit to the B2C market was $100.00US.
TIP: Be sure to quote your price in US Dollars so there is NO misunderstanding when the person's credit card is charged in their currency!
If you ship anything internationally or domestically, without some form of tracking, you stand a good chance of getting the item charged back against your merchant account. Too high a charge back percentage not only costs you in charge back fees but could end up costing your business its merchant account.
Tip: Don't Forget The Customs Form
