This is CasperVend - A new, optimised, complete networked vendor system.

THIS IS THE FREE VERSION - IT CHARGES 5% COMMISSION PER SALE. Don't like commission? Try the Premium version, which charges NO commission when the vendors are owned by you, and a reduced 2% commission for affiliates! (See related items).

NOW INCLUDES MESH VENDORS!

With this product, you get a DropBox, in which you put your items for sale, textures and notecards, and vendors - which you can rez around the grid anywhere you like. When a customer buys an item, it will be delivered from your DropBox - meaning you can manage every vendor on the grid from just one location!

Stop lagging up your sims with our competitor's products! Every CasperVend vendor and server functions with only one script creating virtually no lag to improve the shopping experience for your customers - people don't shop in laggy stores! For comparison, Hippo use up to 11 scripts in their vendors and 20 in their server!

Come see our vendors in action at our store in Second Life

WORKS WELL/GOOD PRICE/SMALL FEE
full star full star full star full star full star Posted February 03, 2011 by Suede Serenity

This product was easy to setup, has a great website to use to create the vendor setup, and it only took $3L out of a $49L sale...this is not much for such a great FREE vendor. I am happy with this and definately recommend it for anyone.

Only good experiences
full star full star full star full star full star Posted January 25, 2011 by Jenna Felton

I am not selling much, but by now I collected only good experiences with this system. The support is verry good, casper cares also about keping the system well running.

All you need to do inworld is to rezz the server box, fil it with products and rezz vendors. Evrything else is done on web site even while offline. Managing of products is intuitive, with a good flexibility to group products and assign them to vendors. Sales statistics are clean and show all you need.

There is also an API (an other reason for me to use the system), by using the API i could even make a vendor with links to markeplace and blog pages related to actually shown product.

To say shortly, I can only recommend this vending system.

This vendorsystem is great and the creator always takes the time to help you out if you have problems. Also listens to what his clients require and adds these handy tools for all to use.

If you want a vendingsystem that does not lag the hell out of your sim from a creator that cares then this is the system for you!
