Hey there! I have a few questions, and maybe a suggestion or two regarding the eCommerce addon. I've recently started using it again to sell, and gift, physical items to our members.
I don't want to be a pain in the butt, but here are the questions and ideas I have. Any insight would be a huge help to me, some of these are minor roadblocks:
1) Coupons: I want to allow our team to pick an item from the store for free. The coupon works perfectly for enabling that, but I just realized one volunteer paid me for shipping - which destroys the entire purpose of the gift. I would have thought that enabling the coupon to take off 100% of the sale would have automatically included shipping fees. Could we please get an update that will allow you to tick to include shipping charges on things like coupons? Even sales could benefit from the ability to set the discount to be free shipping rather than a percentage or dollar amount off an item, or both.
2) Income Statistics: Is there a delay, maybe a cron job, that handles that updating? I notice the sale from today hasn't shown up there yet - but as I write this - I realize I should be checking cron jobs before wasting space with this likely non-issue.
3) Post to forum upon order: I noticed that despite that being set, I did not see any forum post for the item purchased. I double-checked the forum permissions and the permissions are set for access as they should be, so I'm unsure why it wasn't posted. Any ideas of what else I should check?
---------------------------
Questions, suggestions
--------------------------
Are there any future updates in mind that would provide the ability to integrate with shipping services like USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc? To perhaps automate the shipping charges process? Or maybe even turn off shipping charges for particular items. I know I'm thinking on the Woo level here, but these could also be additional addon purchases to the eCommerce module.
Outside of that, the ability to send a PM to registered members who purchase an item (rather than email only for message and/or invoice), and ....well I cannot think of the last thing I had thought of. The addon is solid, there's just some tweaks that could help -- would love to see it be the WOO for XenForo users, we could really use that in the community.
Thanks for all you do!
