Version Notification

Since uploading an HTML template on TF, on several occasions I’ve had to clarify to buyers that a CMS is not included. It got me thinking, there are a ton of double-dipped files here on the marketplaces. Most notably HTML /WP Themes and jQuery/WP Plugins. So what if we could help buyers navigate these options?

There could be a new option added to a file’s upload information. For CC, it could be a field that says, “This file is the WP version of this jQuery file (enter url here).” And the same could be done for HTML /WP. Then in the file’s description page, somewhere where the “opens with” and “supported browsers” info is, there could be a link that says “View the WordPress version of this file”.

Such a system would help buyers find the product best suited for their needs. For example, if a buyer is in love with an HTML design but they need a CMS , a designated area that would alert them to this option could often help convert a $15 sale into a $40 one (a 260% up-sell!). It also helps prevent unhappy buyers who may end up wasting money on both items in the long run (yeah that’s more money but there’s no dollar amount worth pissing off a customer).

“But authors already alert buyers of this information” you say? Very true, but a unified system for these type of alerts is still favorable to the buyer.

Thoughts?

It’s quite a nice idea! I can see this being very helpful for a lot of buyers!

I like this a lot! A standard way of displaying this information and even switching between items would definitely be better than having authors convey this individually
