AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

I could use this, though I see how it could be difficult to implement. We sell products that have slight variations. It would be great to list each serial number (with images) available for a specific SKU and allow the customer to choose the exact item they will receive.

Here too! I would love to see CSV support for variants. Our back-end system keeps all variants as separate SKUs (as do most other systems I have seen). It is fairly straight forward to create a CSV file for updating our website. I have had a difficult time getting this into an XML file. I think that...

I am running RC3, but I think I did an update and not a clean install. I will reinstall and see if that takes care of it.

I uploaded a small batch of products multiple times with Dataport, which created duplicates in AC7. I went into the Catalog Administration and deleted the duplicates and they no longer show in AC7. I linked MS Access to the AC7 SQL database, and all the duplicate products are still showing in the ta...

Very Cool. Way to go Joe!

You have just created a "must have" Mod.

For users managing products in a separate back-end system, Dataport needs to check for updates and duplicates on the "SKU" field. I can currently create a CSV file of all of my products and upload them, but have no way to cross reference the ProductID field to do updates. I don't know if this would ...

Yes,

Even if it would just check for additional images by a format such as "SKU-2.jpg, SKU-3.jpg, SKU-4.jpg", etc...

Just when I thought I was making good headway. hehe Yeah you are right.... I have to have the productID to update. This is making things complicated. :) It seems like a major oversight not to reference the SKU on an update. I can't think of any reason to have duplicate SKUs and without updating on S...

I am trying to figure out how to update products via CSV and Dataport. Here is my situation. All my product information is maintained in a database. I am using Excel and querying what I need to creating a CSV file for uploading to AC7. This works fine and a batch of products imports correctly. The p...

I would love to have RC3 now, but I understand the reason for giving it out to select few for testing before allowing us all to have it. I appreciate Joe taking the responsibility. I know I wouldn't want to be the one testing Beta software on my live site. Actually this goes out to all of you runnin...

I need this too... We have large products, some of which require truck freight and need an additional S&H charge. In the past we had tried to add the additional charge as a required option. This is a headache for accounting and confuses the customer. Our Back-end supports additional S&H charges on a...

The fuel charge is a killer, especially on air shipments: http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/resources/find/cost/fuel_surcharge.html Current Fuel Surcharge Rate for Package Services: Ground Through February 3, 2008: 6.25% Effective February 4, 2008: 6.25% Air and International Through February 3, 2008...

This is one reason the custom availability message per SKU is so important. :) We run into the same problem. Our main suppliers are nearby and we get many of our non-stock products within 24 hours. This allows for a "usually ships in 2-3 business days". If the supplier is further away we adjust acco...

Great post! I have put a lot of thought into this the last few days. I believe it was mentioned somewhere that variants and kits are not fully integrated yet, but it is in progress. Is this correct? Here is my dilemma (I could really use some input)... Many of our products have size/ color but also ...

Good idea. A good portion of our products have options, so this could get a little messy. hmmmm

I did not try this yet. We got caught up in the holiday rush and had to set this aside for a bit. As soon as we get everything caught back up, I plan to get back to work on ablecommerce.

Yes! This is a big one for me.

Thanks Will! I will give this a shot.

Bump.

Am I really the only one that needs this feature? It seems like this is standard on most sites now.

I just purchased 7.0 and I am floored. Great product! One thing missing (for me anyway), is unique availabilty messages per SKU/Variant. Currently we have: In Stock Message: {0} units available Out of stock message: The product is currently out of stock Which sets it globally. I need custom availabi...
