HC Blog

I’ve made just a few more little changes on HC lately. The first is that when you define shipping options, the last one is always checked by default on the product details page. So if you have three options, the third is checked. If you have only one, then it is checked. Insurance defaults to “no.”

The other thing is that I’ve added a field called “ordering” just under where you enter the item title on the stocking page. You can just leave it at 0 and things will work as they always have. But if you want your items to display in a particular order, then you can set the “ordering” to any integer you like. Multiple items can have the same ordering number, too, so you could have all your smalls be 1’s, all your mediums 2’s, etc. Items with the same ordering number are sorted by active times.

You don’t need to include shipping in your prices anymore. You can enter shipping prices for first class, Priority, FedEx, or UPS plus include the option for insurance (USPS only — I can add it for FedEx and UPS if some of you would prefer). I don’t have the shipping prices shown in the tables on your stocking pages, but I can if you’d prefer that. Seemed like they were pretty wide already, so I didn’t necessarily want to add more columns. You can see the options and prices you’ve chosen when you click on ‘Edit’ for an item.

Please read about how it works on your marked up stocking pages and give it a try. I’d love if you could find time to test stock and purchase a few items and make sure it’s working correctly.
