Catalog Mode

Welcome to the documentation for the Catalog Mode For SureCart plugin by SurelyWP!

Overview

This plugin turns your SureCart store into a browse-only online catalog by disabling purchase buttons and prices, adding an inquiry button with a redirect or popup form, and redirecting the checkout page to another page.

On this page, you will find all the steps you need to set up and use our plugin. The steps below provide instructions about the installation and setup process, as well as additional resources that may be helpful.

1. Install & Setup SureCart

Our Catalog Mode For SureCart plugin is a 3rd party addon for SureCart, so having an existing SureCart store with their plugin installed, active, and set up is a prerequisite to using our product.

DISCLOSURE: The link to SureCart is an “affiliate link” which means if you click on the link and purchase anything, we will receive a commission.

2. Download The Plugin From Your Customer Dashboard

NOTE: If you have not yet purchased the Catalog Mode For SureCart plugin, you will need to do that now before continuing.

After completing the purchase, the next step is to download the WordPress plugin:

  1. Log into your Customer Dashboard on our website.
  2. Click the “Downloads” tab.
  3. Click on the Catalog Mode For SureCart file.
  4. Click the “Download” button on the .zip file.
  5. Save the file to your computer.

NOTE: Some Apple computers automatically extract .zip files, so be sure to disable that feature when downloading the plugin file.

3. Install The Plugin On Your Website

Now you are ready to install the Wishlist For SureCart plugin. Installing our plugin works the same as installing any other WordPress plugin, so the steps will be exactly the same if you are familiar with the process. If not, you can follow the step-by-step instructions below.

  1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard. This is typically accessed by adding “/wp-admin” to the end of your website’s URL (e.g., www.example.com/wp-admin).
  2. Once logged in, hover over the “Plugins” menu on the left side and click the “Add New” option.
  3. At the top of the next screen, click on the “Upload Plugin” button.
  4. Click on the “Choose File” button and locate the plugin file (.zip format) on your computer.
  5. Select the file and click the “Install Now” button. Once the installation is complete, you will see a success message.
  6. Click the “Activate Plugin” button to activate the plugin.

When you activate the plugin, you will be redirected to an overview screen of the Catalog Mode For SureCart addon. This is a unified interface for all of our addons, so any additional addon that you install from our SurelyWP brand will also appear in this same interface. You can switch installed plugins at the top.

The first thing to do is get familiar with the options available to you. The overview tab does a great job of this, and some of the things mentioned there will be covered in the steps below.

NOTE: The plugin features will not work until you add the license key in step #4.

4. Add Your License Key

The most important step after installing the plugin is to connect and activate your license key. This is needed to enable the plugin features to work.

  1. Log into your Customer Dashboard on our website.
  2. Click on the “Downloads” tab and then click on the Catalog Mode For SureCart download item. You will see the license key here below the download.
  3. Click the “Copy” button to copy the license key to your clipboard.
  4. Go back to your website where you installed the plugin and find the license key settings. To find this screen, look under the SurelyWP menu and click on Catalog Mode and then click the “License Key” menu link.
  5. Paste the license key into the input field, and click the “Activate” button.

5. Adjust The Settings

This plugin includes various settings to enable and adjust features according to your preference. You can access the settings from the Settings tab on the left side of the plugin interface. Each setting contains a clear label and helpful description to make it easy to understand how to use and explain what it does.

6. View The Changelog

You can keep up to date about new features, improvements, and bug fixes that we release by viewing the plugin changelog. You can access the changelog from the Changelog tab on the left side of the plugin interface.

7. Check For Updates

Whenever we release a plugin update with new features, improvements, or bug fixes, you will automatically get a prompt in your WordPress plugin list that an update is available, with an update now button. You can also check for notifications or news in the notifications panel in the top-right corner of the plugin interface.
