Converting a vendor
✕
1. Create config
  Tick the box (1), Create config (2), then Copy (3). Your config works for this shop only. Keep it private.
2. Plurion [Config]
  Paste your config under the notecard’s text, then Save. Older than 7 days? Create a new one.
3. Drop the folder
  It glows blue while it works, then Second Life asks for the DEBIT permission.
Still glowing blue after a minute? Drop the folder again. A vendor marked Needs setup? Touch it and pick its product.
Convert one quiet vendor
The vendor keeps its prim, its spot and its picture. Only the old system inside it is replaced.
Can’t be undone: the kit deletes every script, notecard and texture inside the vendor that isn’t named Plurion. Objects stay, but take out the only copy of any no-copy item first.
1. On the webMigrate → Convert your vendors: tick the box → Create config → Copy (valid 7 days).
2. In Second LifeRez Plurion [Migration Kit], left-click it → Copy to Inventory. Paste your config into the folder’s Plurion [Config] notecard and Save.
3. In Second LifeDrag the whole folder onto ONE quiet vendor, then click Allow access.

3. Live conversion feed
  Matched: it sells already. Needs setup: touch it and pick its product.

Common questions

Why does Second Life ask to let my vendor take money?

That’s the DEBIT permission. The warning is Second Life’s own. Plurion uses it for three things only: refunding a buyer who paid the wrong amount or used a promo code or loyalty discount, paying your split partners, and sending Plurion’s 5% on the Free plan. See The DEBIT permission.

Can I keep my own vendor prims?

Yes. Take the Plurion [Vendor] script out of the Plurion [Vendor] object (right-click → Edit → Content, drag it to your inventory) and drop it into your own prim, keeping its name. No notecard needed. It shows your product’s picture on face 1 of that prim, replacing what’s there. Coming from CasperVend, MD or Allomancy? The migration kit converts your existing vendors in place.

I opened an object’s link and landed on a sign-in page

That browser isn’t signed in to Plurion yet. Type your avatar name → Login code (the code shows up at once in your local chat), type it and click Sign in. You land on the page the object wanted to open. Use the avatar that owns the object. See Signing in with a code.

Can I try Plurion without disturbing my shop?

Yes. Pick I’m keeping my current system at the question above. Plurion only reads your sales. Your current system keeps selling, delivering and taking the money, and no vendor is touched. See Migrating to Plurion.
