Remove items from stock if I manually change order status to "Paid"

I would love if once I changed an order's status from "New" to "Paid" if the system would then remove the items automatically from stock. Sometimes I have people who pay in person, or they've had a glitch completing an order so I've sent them a separate PayPal invoice, or I'm recording a sale I've made elsewhere (like from a Facebook bst). Instead of having to go to each item and manually remove it from the stock, it would be great if changing the order to "paid" removed the items for me.

More "Choices" on listings

I do custom baby carrier work and offer several customs options for customers, however, I have more than 6 for them to choose from carrier size/strap length/waist length/strap color/hood/applique/etc, etc, etc. I would love for this to either be unlimited or at least be able to put in 10 choices. Right now, I use Hyenacart for all of my instock and semi-custom listings, but I must use a different cart altogether to take custom orders. I would love to switch all of my sales to Hyenacart, but without the ability to list more options under the Choice menu, I can't.

Free Shipping

I would like to see a feature added where FREE SHIPPING discount codes can only be used if customers purchase a certain dollar amount and I would also like to see the option where discount codes can only be used on qualifying products (i.e. FREE SHIPPING applies to diapers but not by-the-yard fabric). I am having too many problems with customers violating FREE SHIPPING qualifications since the codes work no matter what.

Resubmitting: Ability to mark "Pending Buy Now Orders" to Shipped, Paid, etc.

Please provide the option to move items in the Pending section to the actual order history so they can be marked as "Paid, In-Progress, Shipped". I realize that buyers can move items from Pending by placing the order. Often, customers click BIN and then pay through other means - mostly through a direct invoice for a variety of reasons (combined shipping with other orders, adding on to a custom order, local pick-up, etc. etc) After the customer has paid, it's quite unprofessional to ask them to go to their HC purchases and jump through some hoops so that I can have an actual history of their order on HC. A simple click should be able to transfer that Pending order over to my Order History.

I find it very frustrating that even though I am logged in, once I go to the congo page to view my listing I have just put up I cannot go back to my vendor pages without logging out and logging back in because there is no way to get back there once that page has been closed (which I do accidentally all the time!

Option to delete cancelled orders?

I have gobs and gobs of duplicate, uncompleted, or redundant orders for various reasons (difficulty checking out, using the buy now option, etc) which I've had to mark as cancelled. In order for me to see the current real orders which are in various states (I need to see new, paid, and in-progress at one time to make sure I am on top of things)I have to show "All" statuses and "All" orders to get them on one page and not be leapfrogging through pages trying to remember what I've done. This of course gives me over 9000 orders at once which is pretty unnecessary, LOL! If I could delete forever the totally bogus and cancelled orders - or at least archive to somewhere that would help a lot. If there were a way to sort by In-Progress,and mark them as such en-mass ( see my other request :D ) that would help too. Right now once I mark them In-progress they are lost and can't be sorted to find them again except by sorting for ALL. Thank you, thank you, thank you once again oh Goddess of all things technical wizardry ;)

customizing shipping by destination

Is there a way to customize shipping for additional items by destination? Adding a second item changes shipping costs dramatically for international locations. Right now, I have additional shipping charges for international buyers listed in Choices, on top of the additional item charge. But buyers don't always choose the right combination of shipping options, and if I have to send a new invoice, it's inconvenient and I incur another PayPal fee. It would be ideal to have the cart calculate shipping by location and weight automatically. Also, do Choices function differently now? It used to be that if the buyer chose the "additional item, international" choice, they would just get charged that cost once. Now they are charged that fee per item that they purchase.

On the "View Orders" page, I would love to have the option to view only the "paid" orders so I can ship them. After Black Friday, I had SO many "new" orders from the draws that I had a really hard time figuring out what actually needed shipping.

Most of the draws were for discount codes so they were never checked out with...so they were listed as "new" and didn't require shipping. I hope that makes sense ;-)

View Orders Title length

As a vendor (in the view order screen) I've noticed that when I have more than a couple choices, the customer's choices get cut off on every record I have of the transaction, so I have to email them to get their other options/choices. Is there a way to lengthen the title/description on invoices so we can see all the choices? By the way, I love the redesign on the site. It looks very clean and professional! Please keep up the great work! Thank you!

Availability and Drop Down Menus

I know you just rearranged the wording for the options so it's easier for people to understand. Ex. "Cream... Add $0.00 (1 Available)" but now the options that have sold out don't say anything next to them so it looks like it's still available until you try to add it to your cart. Ex. "Cream... Add $0.00" Can we have "Sold Out" added to that once that option is no longer available? Thanks!

More Options for Options :)

When adding options for an item it would be nice if we had an option for something OTHER than just the drop-down menu, or if people could select more than one thing from the drop down menu. For example, I sell fleece soakers. The drop down menu works well for the size, insert type, and style where they should only chose one thing, but I also have options for adding PUL, a pocket, ruffles, and elastic. I don't have room to put all of the options I have available and it looks really messy to have an additional four drop down menu's just saying "Yes (add $2.00)" and "No" If I put them all in the same drop down menu people can only select one of those options even though I can make them with ALL of those options. I hope I'm making some sense here! Thanks for everything your have done so far! I am loving all of the updates!!

Would it be possible to opt out of the "Quantity in stock" on some items?

I realize that the "quantity in stock" is a vital part of the HC experience ... but I'm wondering if it may be possible to offer the option to disable this feature so that a product can remain "available" indefinitely. I don't want to list 999 (or other large number) as the quantity for fear it will appear as though no one wants my products. I'm sure it isn't possible/practical but I would love to not have to worry about the whole "number in stock" thing. Thanks for taking time to read my silly request :)

Expired payments and current listings

I have never fully understood why we cannot edit/delete listings we have listed already even when the payment has expired... I feel as though we should only have to pay if we plan to stock new items, but editing an item already listed, or taking the item down .... we should not have to pay extra money for that.
  1. Admin comment: That's simply the pricing structure on the site. There are no listing fees, final value fees, or limits to the number of listings you can have. You simply pay the monthly fee in order to access the back-end of your store. Think of it as a rental fee. And the best part is, you don't need to pay during months when you don't need to access the back-end :)

Add ability to remove item when sold

It would be great to have the option to have items removed when sold. Perhaps a checkbox when listing? Many times I don't put an end date on my items, but I'd still like them to move out of my shop into sold items when they have sold. Since I do not always add active listings every month, it irks me to have to pay $5 just to log in to edit my sold items. I know the items show up as "sold out" so there is no risk to the customer or my be having the items there, it just looks cluttered. Note: I know there is now the batch edit where you can more easily do this before, which is great (as long as you have an actively paid store). Also, I read your response to the other suggestions for this for auctions/drawings and since everyone has their own needs, perhaps a checkbox would work so if you want it to do it, it will, otherwise would remain as is?
  1. Admin comment: We have an added an option on the Store Settings >> Profile page called "Auto-remove listings." If this is set to yes, all listing with qty of zero will automatically be removed from your store. Thanks for the suggestion!

Improve quantity available display to buyers

The drop down lists for available options/quantities could be a little more user friendly. When I first started shopping on HC, it took me awhile to figure out what the Medium[1]...add $1.00 meant next to items in the drop down list. For the sake of new shoppers to the site, it might be better to make it a little more intuitive, for example Medium...add $1.00 (1 available)

Overall Discount / Coupon code improvements

I think it would be great if the discount codes can be applied to only certain items in the store - perhaps by categories or even individual listings. It would also be cool to apply certain codes for certain $ amounts - like 10% off for orders under $50, 15% off from $50-99, 20% off for $100+, etc. Also perhaps there could be codes that apply to specific shoppers/email addresses for things like return customers and family. Lastly if there could be a manually set time frame for the codes to be applicable that would be awesome.

Improve sold items description to seller

When I view my sold orders page, and drill down on the order, it is difficult for me to see exactly what the customer has ordered when there are multiple options selected per line item. (This is especially the case because I change the options available depending on the listing, they aren't always in the same order, and I always have to go back to the original listing to see how I had it offered. Even the sold item page doesn't show the options once it's been sold). I would love to see the description of each option in addition to their selection. Also, the "x" for quantity is confusing for me because I always seem to think it is an XL...totally my fault, but maybe change it to qty? Example (current): 1 X Fleece longies - monkey face pants - other colors available Small; camel/tan; monkey print (as shown); Yes; Example (proposed): Qty 1 - Fleece longies - monkey face pants - other colors available; Size - Small; Body color - camel/tan; waistband color - monkey print (as shown); doubler? - yes

Ideally the number of days would be configurable, since some shop owners might like to leave sold items up so that people can see past work, however, I personally feel like they clutter up my shop, and would rather they be removed (or moved to a "recently sold" page so customers could still reference them). They shouldn't be deleted so that the links would still be available if used in the future or to research orders, etc.

Definable Congo-wide Thumbnail sizes

Love the new ability to define a pic size within congo listings- would love even more to see this extended to the thumbnail pics that show up on the congo front page- so all vendors within a congo have the same size thumbnails!
  1. Admin comment: This would not be hard to do, but here's the hesitation: say you have a 1000px wide image being resized to a 125px thumbnail. That can be done by the browser, but it takes much longer to download that 1000px image than it would if the image were really 125px wide. That's not a big deal if there are just a few images on the page. But for the main page of a congo, there can be 50-60, even 100 thumbnails. If those are actually all large images being resized by the browser, the page will take *forever* to load. That's why there's never been html resizing of thumbnails for congos. I'm afraid sellers won't realize that is an issue. The way it is now forces sellers to resize their images nice and small for quick downloading by shoppers. Please comment further. Otherwise, I may close this request without fulfilling it.

Allow range or text for Price on index page

In a listing with multiple options, I would like the option for index page to either say $$-$$$ or have text (like "Various", or "Click for more info", rather than putting the price for the base option, which can be confusing or misleading.

In stores, show what is spotted and how many times.

It would be nice, like on etsy, to be able to see how many people have spotted an item. Maybe even who like on etsy, but at least how many. Or like the little hearts that are on Ravelry.

Lift limit of only 5 Info Pages per cart

I have an About Me, Coop Policy, Yarn Info, Licensee, and Policies Page. I NEED to add a FAQ page and a Caring for your Wool page. Its too much to put all this on one page and not overwhelm people. It would be impossible to navigate with it all crammed together. Is there any reason to be limited to 5 info pages?
  1. Admin comment: You got it! Just changed the limit to 50 pages. And marking this item complete :)

Please add Beauty, Skin Care or Mineral Makeup sections

I see there is a "bath and body" section, but that doesn't really describe facial care products or makeup products. There is currently no section for these types of items, and people don't realize they are available. Would love to see a section for Beauty products with subcatagories, or at least more subcatagories added to the "bath and body" section.
  1. Admin comment: Done! There is now a Face and Beauty category. We will be re-vamping categories and subcategories sometime in the future, but for now the category is there. Thanks!

Larger image size choices for the Java uploader would be great. I like 490pixel width for the main image in my listings, but I have to go through Photobucket to do this. If you allowed larger images I would totally upgrade my account. Thanks! Suzi MacDougall www.puddlefoot.com

Login Request

Merge Login requirements so that only one log-in is required for all of the site's features, rather than having to login to sell, use forum or buy. And make this singular login easily accessible for new users.
  1. Admin comment: We totally agree that this would be ideal. Unfortunately, the way the site has grown and separate accounts created, there is no way to bring it back together under one overall registration / login system. However, we have implemented clearer navigation through the system, and all major parts of the site (shopping, forums, selling) have persistent login options, so for many cases, the user can stay logged in at all times and not deal with re-logging in.

Shop Stats

I would love to know how many people have visited my store each day. This way I can judge when advertising is effective, when certain items are more popular, or even what day of the week or hour I get the most traffic. The more information provided the more helpful. Even if it could say which items were viewed the most.
  1. Admin comment: As mentioned, this can be done via Google Analytics or Stat Counter. The code can be added to your store in the Counter Code / Footer section of the Store Design page. We prefer to leave the tracking of stats to the experts :)

Premium Shop upgrade

Instead of raising prices for everyone, have an option to upgrade to be a premium shop for a cost. This could come with extra perks, such as having the photos on the front page of HC be premium shops only. (would probably help weed out the not so great ones)

BOGO Coupon Code

Anyone who has tried to run a BOGO (buy one get one) style sale on HC knows that this is an extremely painful, manual invoicing or refunding process. But, shoppers LOVE these kinds of sales! It would be nice to have a coupon code specific for this type of sale. The shop admin would enter the % off on the BOGO-style code and the system would automatically calculate the percentage off on the lower-price item for each higher-price item sold.

auto-deposit cursor in "username" field at vendor login

A small convenience, but a worthy one! I'm sure most of us have our vendor url bookmarked so we don't have to type it in every time we have work to do...we just click and there it is, right? Well, wouldn't it be handy for the cursor to already be blinking happily away, just waiting for us to type our username and password in?

hide shopper count

Add the option for the seller to hide the text at the bottom of the page that discloses how many shoppers are in the store. True, having many shoppers present might induce someone to buy a one-of-a-kind item before anyone else does, but showing few shoppers just makes the store appear poorly.

hide inventory quantities

Make it possible for the seller to hide or not disclose the number of any certain product that is available. Many of us are "small beans" businesses, but just because we only have 3 widgets currently instock, doesn't mean people need to know about it! I don't think having a small inventory count induces people to buy (just in case they go OOS or don't reorder)...rather, I think it makes the product look poor, because perhaps it might not be worth stocking 50 of them, or perhaps they're not popular enough to do so. I figure the customer either wants it or they don't, whether I've got one or a hundred on my shelves.
  1. Admin comment: This has been added as a "hidden" feature. If you set the quantity between 30,000 and 39,999 on a Standard listing, the quantity will not be shown in the store or listing view. As for showing number of items available in general, this has been done based on shopper feedback. Shoppers were getting frustrated clicking on categories or listings with nothing in-stock. To maintain shoppability, we will continue to show number available when quantity is not set between 30,000 and 39,999.

A customer referral system

I started a referral program on my shop. As of now I have to manage a spreadsheet on my computer with the person's name, referral code and email and any referrals that come in. Then I have to go create the coupon code that is the referral code, set up the 5% off for anyone using it. Then I have to pay close attention to every order to make sure I don't miss a referral, and cross check that it is actually a NEW customer. Something automated we could opt to use would be awesome!

Multiple Coupon Codes

Because I run a diaper service/retail store along side of my handmade items, there are times when 2 coupon codes would be nice. For example, say I am running a 15% off store wide sale, you would need to have a coupon code for the 15% off. But my local customers do not pay shipping, so I would need a code for free shipping, but as it is, only 1 can be used.

Raise the cart fee to filter out lower quality stores

Please find a nicer way to phrase my request, but I would like to see a slightly higher fee to weed out some of the riff-raff. $5 is nothing and it makes it way too easy for someone to list a cart full of low-quality stuff, or for the fly-by-night scammers to start, stop and re-start under a different name. It's time to bring quality back to HC. Love, Whitney Naturally Luxe
  1. Admin comment: This request is being closed. We do not believe that raising fees will filter out lower quality stores. Instead, we will be working to increase the visibility of the highest quality items on the site. Thanks!

Improve Search Functionality

Searching on HC needs a major overhaul. It is currently not user friendly and in many cases not useable at all, and this is pretty critical for a shopping site. Some suggestions: - Keystroke suggestions as you type - Improved "look" of the results page: ability to see more results (maybe horizontal rows instead of one long vertical row), less text on the top of the page (make the options graphical), show links to related searches, lose the categories on the sidebar and use the entire page for search results and search options. -More/Better/Easier to find options to refine your results by various criteria

right now when you copy a listing it copies it and then randomly puts it in anywhere it wants within your listings. It'd be handy if it could copy a listing and either mark it as a copied listing (for the sellers eyes) or just automatically put it at the top or bottom of your listings.

Allowing customers to purchase without registering or easier registering

new customers are often scared away by the registering process and would prefer to order via email. It'd be nice if they didn't have to register or if it was instant as soon as they did register.

When they do receive the email, it contains a link that allows them to log in directly, without needing to type in their information.
