Introduction
EasyVend is an expansion pack for CasperVend that allows the easy migration of users from the now-defunct E2V vending system over to CasperVend.
Purpose of EasyVend
This expansion was created to assist people migrating in to CasperVend from E2V, another vendor system which was cut off and shut down in May 2018.
If you were NOT using E2V before it was shut down, you will find this expansion VERY frustrating, and VERY time consuming - you might want to start with the normal Quick Start instead!
What's in the box?
EasyVend Features
- Drop-in replacement for E2V vendor scripts
- Drop-in replacement for E2V store controller to support profit splits, sales, price groups
- Drop-in replacement for E2V inventory server for remote delivery
- Obeys E2V naming rules for item matching
- Supports DropBox delivery, local vendor delivery and folder delivery
- Automatically creates products in the CasperVend system
- Web management not necessary with EasyVend
- Splits and profit Sharing ARE supported
E2V Items NOT Used by EasyVend
You will NOT need to rez or use any of these items from the E2V vendor pack when converting to EasyVend:
- Delivery Relay
- Payments Object
- Transaction Relay
EasyVend Limitations
- NOT SUPPORTED: E2V's "partner" sharing feature (because you cannot share inventory servers in CasperVend)
- NOT SUPPORTED: Group discounts (that's only supported with the full CasperVend)
- CV Gift Cards: Accepted - will work with local/folder delivery as of version EasyVend v2.01
- The EasyVend does not display textures - if you want automatic texture management use the full CasperVend
- You can't manage what displays on the vendor from the web
- You can't manage profit shares or store credit awards from the web
- If you use local vendor or folder deliveries, customers will be unable to claim redeliveries using the automatically created products. However, you can edit the product on the web interface and designate a packaged version (and set "copy" perms to allow redelivery) for that product to use for redelivery.
- Like E2V itself, EasyVend cannot be used as affiliate vendors
Where are the EasyVend Scripts?
Redeliver your PAID CasperVend pack - either "Premium" or "Fat Pack". EasyVend is NOT in the free commission vendors!
FatPack
- Rez your fresh FatPack crate
- Unpack your FatPack into your inventory
- Look for the "Premium Vendors" crate in inventory
- Rez the "Premium Vendors" crate
- Unpack to inventory
- Look for the EasyVend box, rez and unpack that
Premium Vendors
- Rez the fresh "Premium Vendors" crate
- Unpack to inventory
- Look for the EasyVend box, rez and unpack that
