I remember that (I won a copy of it from the karma machine).
I never did apply it to a site though…
I used it on an eComemrce site and it worked quite well. There were places it could have been easier to admin, but the visitor experience was good. I liked the clever concept that resulted in a neat solution.
A little update, I’ve put out the 2.4.3 release of Community Store, which simultaneously supports V8 and V9.
I’m expecting minor styling and bug fixes, but hopefully not too many.
With this major task out the way, I may have some time to start working on some of the items discussed in this thread.
I would like to request:
- Add a “Notify me when in stock” button on the product page and
- Add a checkbox to accept Terms and Conditions during checkout
I would really like to see a previous order/reorder option too. Also a save cart functionality or “add to wishlist” option. That being said, I love the simplicity of the store and its flexibility.
@rhythmracing sorry for the very very late answer but you can do the terms and conditions checkbox with order attributes that will be available during checkout. Make it a required checkbox with a link towards your terms page and CS will display it.
The ability to add alternative tax calculation methods, ie: with an API like Avalara.
Nice to see this thread surfacing again. Since this thread was last active @mnakalay has created an integration between Community Store and my Form Reform addon.
This was for @TMDesigns’ British Marine project.
The integration provided a form handler plugin, where in response to a form completion it adds a product to the Community Store cart. In the handler pipeline this was followed with a redirect to the checkout page.
True. Community Store makes it easy to manage digital products and have only one product allowed in the cart. It also let’s you send a user straight to check out when adding the product. So integration with Form Reform was really facilitated.
@mesuva Hey Ryan. I’m just starting to dive back into the eCommerce, haven’t had a client that needed it since back when it was a marketplace add-on in V5.
One thing that I think would be very beneficial is some videos on setting it up. The written documentation on Github has been pretty easy to follow so far, but I am certainly a more visual person when trying to learn things.
@JRick i think thats great but its a very broad spectrum to ask. It might be better if people ask about specific things they wanted to see.
I would be more than happy to help
As Tim has mentioned, it’s likely to work a lot better if there’s something specific that people need more detail on.
And videos a tricky in that they’re difficult to maintain, in that as soon as something changes, they can easily just be wrong. Written doco on the other hand is much easier to adjust, as it’s even including in GitHub along the codebase (where anyone can contribute).
A middle ground is often just including some screenshots with notes for some visual context.
Anything in particular you think needs more detail?
I think I am good on videos for right now, I wasn’t fully paying attention to the documentation page and missed seeing a few other links at the top for additional info. I will let you know if something pops up as I’m still getting the site set up.
A recommendation regarding the Product List block. Would it be possible to add a “sort by” option of “Featured Product”? We are hoping after the site launches it will be a Best Seller, but my client has one product he wants to push more and having it show at the front of the list would be helpful. I know I could add this as a single product at the top of the page, but I prefer to keep the site as clean as possible.
Thanks
Could third party verification sites like ID.ME or GovX ID be incorporated into the community store and tied to the discounts, or is this something that would usually be tied into whatever payment portal we use?
This is not a need, more of a would be nice.
Thanks,
Joe
I have been working on an Affiliate Tracking System for CS. It does the basics, create Affiliate IDs, track them across incoming customer by request param or input, match against Affiliate Partners and calculate a Commission based on various, configured factors. No automatic payouts, just data collection, no reporting. Is anyone interested in helping with that?
I’ve built a small package for CS, which helps visualizing customer locations on a map, thus allowing to identify “hotspots” or “marketing failures” for purchases:
@Cahueya that’s really nice!
PS: what about moving that repository under the Concrete CMS Community Store · GitHub organization?
Thanks!
Yes, very happy to move.
