Add-on
Group Buy
Group deals on your shop products. Customers join before a deadline by paying the starting price from their wallet; the more people join, the lower the price goes. When the deal closes with enough people each one gets an order at the final price and the difference back; if it falls short, everyone is refunded in full. Requires the Shop plugin.

Changelog

Version 1.0.13 4 Nov 2026
- For developers: this plugin now tells the coming Clear test data tool what to do with each of its tables (empty it, keep it, or remove it only with customer accounts). Nothing changes for store owners yet.
-
Version 1.0.12 30 Oct 2026
- A group buy whose order total for a member is too large to store is now held back before anything is created, whatever the database's settings.
- Joining a group buy whose price, with tax and shipping, is too large for one payment is now refused before anything is charged, with a clear message. A deal that already holds such a member says why on its admin row and when it is closed by hand, so it can be cancelled to give everyone their coins back. -

-
Version 1.0.8 23 Oct 2026
- When the store lets customers move a paid order to another address, a group buy's orders keep theirs: they were priced for the address the customer joined with, and the customer is told to contact the store instead.
-
Version 1.0.7 23 Oct 2026
- When a customer edits a saved address that an order or payment still uses, the store now keeps the old address for it and saves the edit as a new one. A group-buy place not yet ordered keeps the address its shipping and tax were charged for. Deleting an address a place uses keeps it for the place, and archived addresses are no longer offered.
-
Version 1.0.6 22 Oct 2026
- A seller's group deal is no longer paid with spend-only coins (bonuses and game winnings), which would have become the seller's withdrawable earnings; the buyer is told why. The store's own deals still take them first, and a refund gives them back as spend-only coins.
- A store can refuse spend-only coins for group deals, subscriptions and pre-orders altogether (option spend_only_shop_extras set to 'none'); its switch on Settings › Wallet comes with a kernel update, and until then the default applies.
