What Is Sell Media Manual Purchases Addon?
Sell Media Manual Purchases Addon is developed by Graph Paper Press and is an ecommerce plugin for WordPress. It acts as a next-level commerce solution for creators who need flexibility beyond standard credit card processing.

Sell Media Manual Purchases Addon Features
The feature set is built around transaction logging and digital asset delivery for manual orders.
Manual Transaction Management
Manual Purchases Addon enables administrators to create order records manually within the WordPress dashboard. You can specify which products were purchased and link them to specific user accounts. This ensures that even offline sales are tracked within your primary ecommerce reporting interface.
Digital Asset Granting
Once a manual purchase is recorded, the addon automatically provides the customer with the appropriate download links. This mirrors the behavior of automated payments, ensuring that your customers receive their files promptly after you confirm their offline payment. It simplifies the fulfillment process for high-value stock photography or artistic prints.
Centralized Sales Tracking
By using the addon, all sales data is consolidated in one location regardless of the payment method. This provides a more accurate view of your business’s total revenue and stock downloads. It integrates with the core Sell Media plugin to keep your customer records, purchase history, and licensing details synchronized.
