Select an end date for "Duration" from a calendar, instead of number of days in Bookings extension [updated]

2015-02-28T07:09:45-08:00

Option to select the Booking end date from a calendar instead of counting and entering the duration manually. In the use case of item rentals or room bookings that can span multiple days, weeks or even months, the site visitor currently would have to look at a calendar and count up the number of days and make that numeric entry. This could be prone to error. A working example would be any major hotel chain or car rental website, where you select your check in and check out dates from calendars.

Pam Blizzard said:

I disagree Jon, even though it's not like most hotel websites, I actually like the single calendar.

(Thanks Woo guys for updating the demo)

As long as we style the screen text and colors to make it clear the end date calendar is being presented, it will be fine. Woo is charging ahead in UX and this change is good, and other sites will probably follow suit.

Product Vendor Reporting [updated]

2015-02-28T04:58:52-08:00

Product Vendor Reporting currently is not really useful if you have 20 or 30 vendors and you are selling regularly. 1. When a vendor themselves is logged into the frontend of the website and looking at their My-Account page and you have [product_vendors_total_earnings] and [product_vendors_month_earnings] on the page you can see some simple reports on the screen with 3 columns as you know. The first crucial column to add to this is Date, this should be on screen here in these simple reports as vendors need to know immediately the date of the order, right now they do not know the date or time. I have been asked on about 80 or 90 occasions where is the date and they need this at first glance to insure a timely delivery. Vendors care about custom service and delivery schedules a lot! 2. Also with these shortcodes you can filter by month and by year however there should be an option to filter by product - very important to see immediately the hot products and to not have to work this out manually, again when you have 30 products per vendor it becomes incredibly time consuming. Also this is nice from a stock keeping point of view to know immediately what is selling well in terms of the products themselves. 3. Lastly and most importantly on this My-Account shortcode page each report you filter in this frontend area needs to be exported to csv. This could not be more crucial. If I pick January for example I should be able to export the sales that month and the csv should be of course a little more detailed than the on screen report. I would have included Customer name here, as some products could be tickets for events, or a gift wrapped present and you need the customer name and shipping information of course. Maybe in settings of the plugin you can control what you feel is sensitive information to export by the vendor and what is not sensitive information and toggle these options on and off maybe. I am sure you can come up with a more elegant solution here to help this scale. What is tricky is the fact that when an order is made and has say 4 or 5 products from 4 or 5 vendors in it the shipping tends to be bundled in as one price of course, when its really 4 or 5 different shipping prices combined. I use the shipping table-rate plugin to handle this and it does a good job of it but I need the export to show the portion of shipping relevant to that specific vendor if that makes sense here. As I say this "Download CSV" option should be available through the shortcode that is added to the Vendor My-Account page and every individual vendor should see this and be able to export any filter of the information they wish. This would be a life saver right now. 3. Finally, in the WordPress backend dashboard, one needs to be able to go to Reports > Vendors and select a vendor and be able to export all the order information in csv for a month or 3 months or a year and then email it onto a vendor if they need to. For accounting purposes this is vital of course. Each vendor at the end of the month has asked me for this exact report and right now its a real disaster and with 20-30 vendors the problem is compounded of course. Just so time consuming it's a few days work to get right if not more depending on the sales that month. So the export CSV should be if I select Vendor A and January of 2014 and click export - there should be every single order in rows including the shipping portion as mentioned, with order ID, just the products for that vendor showing, customer name, customer shipping address, price earned by vendor, total product price etc. Maybe this can be handled by the order cdv plugin I am not sure. I which the customer order cdv plugin here would support product vendors plugin in a detailed way but right now it is a disaster to work through at the end of each month. I don’t think I have thought of all scenarios here of course. Ultimately the reporting needs to get a lot more sophisticated as you know to really mean the vendor can do his/her own thing and not constantly ask for reports on this and that etc. Right now I truly do not believe anyone could really expand their store past say 20 vendors if they are selling well each day of the month. I have had to hold back on allowing anymore vendors signup to my store as its totally unscalable right now. I only allow serious vendors with good products signup to my store and therefore those serious vendor have accountants to keep happy and therefore require reports each month. Hopefully this helps kick this off, I am here to test if needed. I think the point I make about having options in the settings of the plugin to show or hide certain pieces of elements is a big one. Also showing the specific products to that vendor from an order is key. Also variable products and maybe even ones using the gravity forms addon. This extra information like signature t-shirts using the gravity forms extension is important. Hope this helps and please vote this up.

I made a huge mistake going with Product vendor plugin. It consumed too much time to realise it lacks what is supposed to be the core feature: Reporting and notifications. And why on hell is the vendor not able to see the orders on the dashboard just like the admin?!! It makes absolutely no sense to me.. It is like woothemes is making sure this plugin is useless

Complex Pricing for products

2015-02-27T20:19:01-08:00

Anonymous suggested:
Some of my prices are complex, as in they are calculated using: [base-fee] + quantity*per-item-fee I've only been able to create proper pricing by using some hacky GF implementation (adding a second hidden product with the base fee), but it seems like I can't be the only one to calculate a product like this. I've looked into table pricing plugins, but for that I have to actually calculate every product's cost at every quantity and then upload a CSV file for every product, and then do it all over again if I want to change a price. Seems like it's a simple enough calculation that can be done on the front end with javascript.

Ability to make a product BOTH virtual and not-virtual

2015-02-27T20:14:30-08:00

Anonymous suggested:
Woocommerce lets you specify whether a product is virtual and/or downloadable, but in my case, I sell products that can be ordered as either. I have yet to find a seamless solution for this. I design invitations, and my customers can order them printed or just the file (if they want to print at home). The designs are all available as either type, but have very different variations that affect the final price. Ideally, I'd like to see two buttons: "Order Digital" and "Order Printed", and once you pick one, you get the variations and the add to cart button.

Tokens/Credits/Points [updated]

2015-02-26T21:34:32-08:00

A way to allow users to purchase tokens or credits or points. This gives an alternate means of purchasing bidding, our auction style sales is a growing scheme in sales and internet marketing. The ability to add this functionality with give those who need this system and give people the option to use this system. It also gives customers the incentive to buy more at the owners site Right now there are only 2-3 repeatable options for this functionality. Woo delivering this on their already well known, highly used platforms would just add another amazing "add on" product to their extensive and productive product resume.

Hooks to more easily change tax settings for different roles

2015-02-26T17:33:41-08:00

Stephen Sherrard suggested:
As tax laws are becoming more complex, we need more hooks to allow other plugins to more easily modify/specify how prices are entered (with/without tax) and how they are displayed (incl/excl tax). For example, at the request of a client in Germany, I added a completely separate set of tax settings in my Woocommerce Wholesale Ordering plugin, because they needed to enter retail prices including taxes, but enter wholesale prices excluding taxes, and then display them differently to retail and wholesale customers. Since Woocommerce just grabs those settings direct from their respective options and uses them in various spots, there was no simple way for my plugin to change those based on if the user was a retail or wholesale customer, forcing me to brute force some settings and have to rewrite a couple of woocommerce functions and use my own versions for Wholesale customers... obviously not a good practice, but there are insufficient hooks to allow me to simply change those values at various places where they are used in the Woocommerce core. Based on browsing the ideas here, it seems like this would help out MANY plugins and make it easier to solve a LOT of these ideas/requests from users regarding complex tax situations!

Let the customer build a recurring order with WooSubscriptions

2015-02-26T16:27:32-08:00

Laura Chism suggested:
I've reviewed much of the documentation, but I'm not sure if this feature is available or not. We're a coffee company who would like to sell subscriptions to our customers. Here's what we'd like to do: 1. The customer clicks 'Build Subscription' 2. A customer selects a box size (2 bags per box, 3 bags per box, or 4 bags per box). 2. A corresponding number of drop-downs menus appear. 3. The customer selects a type of coffee from each drop down menu. The products available would be ones that we've somehow marked as 'available for subscription.' 4. The customer selects a time frame for delivery (weekly, every 3 weeks, monthly, etc.) 5. The customer clicks 'Add to Cart.' The customer can add additional products to the same cart if they'd like.

Make shipping modules more affordable!

2015-02-26T15:34:44-08:00

Gloria Grayson suggested:
Make shipping modules more affordable! A real deal breaker for me was finding out that shipping was not included in WooCommerce. After pricing the cost of adding shipping modules, it turned out to be cheaper to buy another solution where ALL of the basics were already included -- Magento. Come on guys! $79 for USPS plus another $79 for Per Product Shipping, plus more for FedEX, plus MORE & MORE & MORE. Very disappointing. Almost $300 for just a complete shipping solution.

Need a better process for pushing a development site live without overwriting order activity

2015-02-26T12:06:21-08:00

Patrick McCormick suggested:
You guys strongly encourage using a development environment but are strangely silent about the fact that pushing the staging site live will overwrite any order activity on the live site that happened between when the staging copy was pulled and when the staging site gets pushed live. You need to provide at least a correct procedure for doing this without loosing accounting information. It seems crazy to me that this hasn't been addressed. There must be lots of stores out there with no sales, or everyone would be screaming about this glaring oversight. As soon as WooCommerce is added to a site, you can no longer properly configure staging and live environments without risking the loss of all order history between pulls. That's just plain bad.

OpenERP & WooCommerce [updated]

2015-02-26T11:33:59-08:00

There are already some eCommerce Systems that work together with OpenERP using a plugin, such as Magento, OsCommerce, e-Commerce, PrestaShop, etc. But I couldn't find anything to use with WooCommerce and I would love it. Most of clients want an ERP to manage all their products and it's so necessary to work together with de website. Any idea? Would you like to do it? Thanks!

Bulk edit price for variable products [updated]

2015-02-26T07:08:43-08:00

It should be possible to bulk edit price for multiple variable products. Currently this is impossible and does not make any sense, because using any kind of product parameter basically renders you unable to use bulk edit feature, which basically means that if you are having a sale you have to manually edit all of your products, which is a tedious task for larger shops.

Christopher Clark said:

I've been looking for a fix to the same problem myself. I'd like to add a price to each of the terms of an attribute. I'm making custom oil paintings, and each size will have its own price. My attribute is "size", and each of the terms are "11x14 inches", "16x20 inches", 18x24 inches", etc. When I add a new product, I add all these attributes as product variations, but then have to manually add the price to each variation. It's a step I could avoid if the attribute terms already had prices set in them.

Plus, then I could update them all globally by changing the price in the original attribute, and it would update every single product. Otherwise, I have to go to each product and manually update the price of each product variation, and it will take days just to do one price update (which would take seconds if I could change it in the attribute window).

I've seen this request several times now, has anyone found a solution for it?

Automatically calculate variation prices [updated]

2015-02-26T07:03:40-08:00

Each attribute used for a variation has a value, so does the base product. When creating all variations, its them a manual task to calculate with a calculator the variation price then add to the sale price. It would be far easier if an attribute differential price could be set, then this used to calculate the variation price with link all variations. It is currently a maintenance nightmare. This method could also be used to easily update prices, if for example only one element of the price changes such a the price of one attribute.

Global attribue pricing [updated]

2015-02-26T07:02:32-08:00

It would be nice if Woocommerce offered some sort of batch editing or define price increases based on attributes that go across the board. An example would be I had an attribute "Black" and if that option is chosen, it would add "$50" to the base price of any product. This would be far easier than having to into each product and choose variable and update the price from there. I've been looking for a solution to this but have had no luck. This should be a core feature in my opinion.

Manage Multiple Affiliate Links [updated]

shipment tracking

2015-02-26T00:42:25-08:00

Euan suggested:
For the Woocommerce Shipment Tracking extension, it would be really nice to be able to add shipment tracking info through the rest api. The Shipment Tracking extension relies on private order meta which cannot be added through the rest api. Public order meta works fine. This would work nicely for automated shipment tracking updates.

Be able to sort variations of variable products in back-end [updated]

2015-02-25T20:33:24-08:00

If you have variable products in your store, and WooCommerce creates all variations for you, it will create them in a totally random fashion. Let's think about jeans sizes (Width/Length). Size 32x30 may appear as the first variation in your list, and the next logical variation 32x32 will be nowhere close. So this forces you to search for it all over the page. But then variation 32x34 is again somewhere else, and again you lose time searching for it. Imagine doing that for all other variations, and it's a huge waste of time. Adding a simple sort function would be a huge time-saver.

Two Calendar Date Picker (one for Start Date, one for End Date)

2015-02-25T07:13:34-08:00

Jon suggested:
My premise and experience, based on user testing, is that the current 'duration' picker option is confusing for people. Using a single calendar to select start/end times problematic for the following reasons: 1. A single calendar non-standard. And so, people don't know how to use it from experience. The vast majority of reservation systems use two-calendar date pickers to establish duration. 2. A single calendar is unintuitive. The labels that explain that you need 'pick start date' or 'pick and end date' loop, so that once you've picked your end date it asks for a start date again. In fact, the very necessity for action prompts makes me feel like this is a broken solution. A normal two-calendar date picker is far more obvious because there's only one label for each calendar. 3. Multiple months are confusing. You lose site of the start date when you move to the end date if it's in a second month. This makes it hard to get a bird's eye view of your selection. And thus it makes it difficult to have confidence (or change a selection). Thanks for your consideration. Implementing a standard two-calendar date picker would be a world of improvement for our users and for your customers (those of us that have invested our time and money in woocommerce bookings)

Compatibility between Bookings and Gravity Forms Product Add-on extensions [updated]

2015-02-25T01:01:40-08:00

We’re going to be using Bookings so folks can request our food truck for catering or public events. There’s a bunch of information we need to get for each request. Our current way of doing this uses Gravity Forms and custom post types. While Bookings will be an improvement, it would be even better if we could keep using the conditional logic we do now, to simplify the fields for some requesters. So the Gravity Forms extension would be a better way to get all the info we need (vs. the “basic” Product Add-ons), but the Bookings documentation says GF + Bookings integration is not supported. I hope a future version of Bookings will officially support customizing Bookings products via the Gravity Forms extension!

Javi said:

It would be great to integrate WooCommerce bookings with gravity forms to be more flexible booking tool. Especially for tour operators and DMC.

Allow duplicated products to be publicized with Jetpack

2015-02-24T17:31:34-08:00

Janae suggested:
I noticed recently with the new update that the Publicize feature from Jetpack now shows up on the product editing page on all products, which is fantastic. However, it doesn't work when products are duplicated. We love the duplicate product feature and use it often as many of our products are similar to one another. But like with posts, Publicize will no longer work on duplicated products because it stores the fact that it's been published in the post_meta. When I duplicate a product, it's obviously duplicated the post_meta information as well, and therefore will no longer allow me to use Publicize. I contact Jetpack about this issue and here is the full response they gave verbatim: "When Jetpack Publicizes a post, it stores that fact in the post's post_meta. If the duplication copies over everything in ht epost_meta (which is likely does), then yes, Publicize will think that it has been Publicized already, and won't be available for that post unfortunately. Please contct Woocommerce about this, and ask them to look into excluding the "_wpas_done_all" post_meta when cloning a post or product, then you should be able to Publicize it. Tell them to contact us if they need more details!" We've had a huge increase in traffic since we began Publicizing our products as well as posts. It would be awesome if we could include this on duplicated products as well, as duplicating a product instead of creating a new one streamlines the process and saves a ton of time.

Improve the "add order" page in woo admin [updated]

2015-02-24T13:44:24-08:00

The "Add Order" page is an excellent tool for people like me, who also sell products in their shops, by phone (...) and who want to manage their stocks and edit their invoices through the same tool. But it's almost impossible to use as it is. Quantities updates seems not working, tax calculation are wrong in some cases, and products with attributes can only be added if you know the exact reference of each attribute. I give you an exemple including those 3 problems : - I want to sell 3 tee-shirts of the same model, but when I try to update the quantity, the final price won't change. - Then, my tee-shirt cost 14 € incl. tax, and my VAT rate is 19,6% as I sell from France. The price shown without tax will be correct 11.71 €, but the tax calculation will be wrong (2.30 €). My Tee-Shirt will now cost 14.01 € - And the most important point, the Tee-Shirt I need is a "Black / XL" one. If I don't know that Black / XL equal to an attribute like #12345, I won't be able to find it. I really appriciate the great job you did with Woo and I thank you for that, but I really hope you'll consider this request and solve those issues.

UPS Worldship added to the UPS plugin [updated]

2015-02-24T12:24:46-08:00

I would like the Woo UPS plugin to generate the correct file output for orders to Worldship, and thus automatic label printing without inputting all the information by hand. This would be a great time saver and if there are high volumes of orders, it could be very necessary. Just walk in your office and the number of labels indicate the number of orders, just stick and place the package on the out going pallet. The label should indicate the products it is for in some way as well. (as opposed to sticking them on and sending random products). And maybe include the company logo as an option.
