New Able 7.0 Site

Post by nickc » Fri Apr 18, 2008 1:47 pm

http://www.oemsalescenter.com

3 weeks old and most of the bugs are at least contained.
Biggest issue on launch: orders with denied credit cards.

Additional features include:
- my own version of "guest checkout"; sadly, RC3 can't be used here due to coupon problems... (hint, hint)
- compact versions of the sidebar controls with hover flyouts
- uniquely serialized gift certificates and coupons generated in "batches" via posting excel docs
- automated interaction with fulfillment agent (sort of - they only do ftp, but result file is consumed via web service to capture and ship orders)
- inventory transaction records

Next features will include:
- Store has alternate behaviors, product views filtered by user group
- Web service for manufacturers to query their products and inventory levels, generate packing slips with bar codes

Thanks again to Able staff and the Able community forum members!

-Nick

Hi

Can you tell us about your coupon problems with RC3? Did you fix it or make a workaround? We have coupons we want to use but if Anonymous Checkout doesnt work with Coupons, we have a problem.

Thanks, Don

PS. Did you install Google Checkout or PayPal Express?

This site is running AC7 RC1 because a) order coupons in RC2, RC3 don't work correctly - they behave like product coupons and b) this site opened with $85,000 worth of order coupons already issued.

I would not expect there are any issues with other coupon types interacting with guest checkout in RC3 - but have not used the RC3 version of guest checkout.

We do not use either Google or Paypal for payment processing - just Authorize.net which has been solid since day 1.

Nice site, it's a pleasure seeing someone locally develop a qaulity site based on AC 7.0.

Nick, send a local Washingtonian some coupons in PM please :)


Thanks,
