phpOStock Plugin for WordPress is ALIVE!

Published on 6th February 2009

It's been a long time coming but after a lot of hard work and preparation we are happy to announce the release of phpOStock. phpOStock is a new and powerful WordPress affiliate plugin that has been developed by myself and Alan Lewis. For those of you who use phpBay you will know Alan as the creator of the fantastic accompanying plugins to phpBay such as search2Post, piggy bank, revenue share & the phpBay auction title re-formatter.

We have been working on this plugin for around the last six months now, trying to perfect it, in that time we have added a bunch of fantastic features to it which make it an easy to use and highly configurable plugin.

Why Affiliate With Overstock.com

The first question I know some of you are going to be asking is who are Overstock and what are the benefits of affiliating with them. Overstock.com are a massive online retailer who specialize in close down and liquidation stock, they stock a wide range of items from well known and less well known brands from around the globe. Their main categories include Furniture, Bedding, Clothing & Shoes, Electronics, Sports, Jewelry & Watches, Electronics, Sports, Books and much more, they stock over 600,000 items, have an alexa traffic rank of 616, a google PR of 6 and rising and supply a number of countries worldwide. View their sitemap here: http://www.overstock.com/sitemap

So now you know who they are but what about their affiliate program? Their affiliate program is available through linkshare.com, its main features are:

1) Earn up to 7% commission on sales
2) Take advantage of a long (14 day) cookie life
3) Lots of weekly discounts
4) A range of affiliate banners and promotions to complement phpOStock

The Plugin

We have created the plugin so it should be really easy for anyone to set up and use but it also has a good deal of features to go with it including a range of FREE template listing styles. We have released the plugin in a Pro version and a lite version, the lite version is available completely FREE and the Pro version for a small introductory price of $30. phpOStock Pro will allow you to list up to 50 items per page/post/sidebar widget in your WordPress site using any of the following parameters to specify your listings:

* The item keywords (can be left blank to list whole categories plus negative keywords can also be used)

* The maximum number of items to display

* The store number

* The department number

* The category number

* The sub-category number

* The minimum price of the items that you wish to display

* The maximum price of the items that you wish to display

You can also display a range of information in the returned listings which is all controlled either by the code you place in your posts/pages/sidebar or by the global configuration screen in the admin section of your WordPress site. To read more about these you can visit our sales page at www.phpOStock.com.

Something for Affiliates

Of course this being a plugin which is designed to be used by affiliates we couldn't leave out our own affiliate program could we. We have set up a FREE affiliate program which will allow you to earn 20% on all phpOStock sales generated through your link. To read more about the program, join or take advantage of some of the great banners we have provided for you then please visit our affiliate page: www.phpOStock.com/affiliates.

    Overstock.com is now live on CJ. I am patiently awaiting the latest release of phpOstock which is due to be released very soon! The new features include link cloaking, pagination and customer reviews/ratings.

    I’ve had this plugin for a little over a month and can say that the new version will be even better!

      Hi Jim

      Thanks for that, the site is looking very nice indeed. We are currently working on the update, we may release the CJ.com updated version before releasing the one with all the new features this is only to ensure you get the best quality version and all bugs have been ironed out.

      Thanks for your patience.
      Cheers
