This is exactly what the IPS Marketplace does.second question, Can I still set up custom profile fields for user profiles in IPB4?Yes: AdminCP -> Members -> Profiles
SJ77 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 @Charles I didn't notice that each user can set up their own personal store front. How do I get to that? Like for example can I go to Adriano Faria's personal store here on IP website?Also, Thank you!

SJ77 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 http://community.invisionpower.com/profile/114025-adriano-faria/content/?type=downloads_file That's pretty slick!!!
Management Charles Posted March 3, 2015 Management Posted March 3, 2015 You can get to that page from the user's profile under Activity or by visiting any file they have and clicking the link to view author's other files.
The Jimmo Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Had no idea IPS could do that. That's pretty nice.So to build off what @superj707 is talking about, as the owner of the website (not the marketplace) can they set a percentage of income we take off the top or a flat fee? (e.x. superj707 owns the website and Adriano Faria has a "store" on said site, Adriano Faria would then have to pay x% or $x of their income off each purchase to superj707)
SJ77 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 You can get to that page from the user's profile under Activity or by visiting any file they have and clicking the link to view author's other files.would be great to feature a link on the users main profile "Adriano Faria's Store", to make it a little more accessible. I think this ability is one thing that sets IP far ahead of the competition and it would be great to highlight it. Although, if the user doesn't have any files for download the store link should not show on main profile.
Management Charles Posted March 3, 2015 Management Posted March 3, 2015 You can easily add a link in the template if that fits your site's goals. Most clients wouldn't consider it a "store" as such though.
craigf136 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Little feedback for this, if you can sort by free, paid, most downloaded that would be beneficial
blue9 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Not to hijack, but a question on similar lines. Can Commerce be used for physical goods in the same way as above?
Management Charles Posted March 4, 2015 Management Posted March 4, 2015 Not to hijack, but a question on similar lines. Can Commerce be used for physical goods in the same way as above? Yeah you can blue9 You can as the site owner but I assume @blue9 is wanting the members to list their own products for sale. You cannot do that right now but you may want to read the entry on Physical Products Marketplace.
Adriano Faria Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 It would be really nice if Commerce could display our files on Store.
