Interestingly enough, I've seen several posts on the Woothemes support forum today where users are complaining pretty loudly about lack of certain functionality. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-an-optional-add-on-such-as-expedited-shipping-option-in-the-cart#post-35604 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 00:52:00 +0000 Chris Beard 35604@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I agree with Dude on this one, it's interesting to see where this is going so keep us updated :) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-an-optional-add-on-such-as-expedited-shipping-option-in-the-cart#post-35550 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 15:25:32 +0000 jsraaf 35550@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I definitely understand your point. I would be quite happy paying a one-time fee up front for more robust functionality, vs paying even more to "extend" it to do things it IMHO should already do But that's not their business model, and it is what it is, which is fair. And I will also add that overall I am very happy with it, all things considered.</p> <p>After providing some further info and asking for it to be reopened as a feature request, Mike J. did so. So we'll see what happens! </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-an-optional-add-on-such-as-expedited-shipping-option-in-the-cart#post-35548 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 15:11:48 +0000 Dude 35548@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Maybe the devs can tag it as feature request, improvement, bug fix, etc. - I'm not sure because I've never used the github request system but contacted Adii directly.</p> <p>I can understand your point of view however I know that the woothemes devs put a lot of effort into their plugin and obviously nobody works for free. Especially the lead devs are paid well (at least I read that in several woocommerce discussion threads) and they need to finance the work somehow. I think the approach of woothemes is quite good because users with very small shops (3-10 items) won't need any premium plugins because they won't care about "payment gateways" or "professional product presentation". However if your shop grows you need to pay the devs and finance their efforts - you would also need to pay a sales assistants, etc. in a "real" shop - they wouldn't work for free too...<br /> Especially if someone plans to sell a bunch of products with woocommerce I think the premium extension prices are more than fair - but just my 2 cents... </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-an-optional-add-on-such-as-expedited-shipping-option-in-the-cart#post-35544 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 14:49:22 +0000 jsraaf 35544@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Mike Jolley from Woocommerce closed my issue request, and directed me to their paid extension for product add-ons (which I already have, and is another feature that I would consider to be a core function that shouldn't be a paid extension). I'm explaining that's not what I'm referring to - don't want to have to add this type of option (such as a gift wrap option, or expedited processing, as examples) which wouldn't work correctly anyway, as it would charge this on every item in the order. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-an-optional-add-on-such-as-expedited-shipping-option-in-the-cart#post-35536 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 14:17:24 +0000 jsraaf 35536@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I'll post a request there. I do have to say that with Woocommerce, there are a lot of features that I would consider core functionality (such as product add-on options) that should be included but aren't, or are paid extensions. Plus some just plain obvious features, like the one I'm asking about, that are missing.</p> <p>Edit: added an issue, but I can't seem to label it as a feature request. I'm guessing this may be due to having only a free account, so I don't have access to that feature. Am I missing something? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-an-optional-add-on-such-as-expedited-shipping-option-in-the-cart#post-35508 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 09:35:03 +0000 Dude 35508@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Yes - it seems like they'll release it soon. I'm not sure if it will be a premium or free plugin/ectension though. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-an-optional-add-on-such-as-expedited-shipping-option-in-the-cart#post-35504 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 09:28:36 +0000 e-citron 35504@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>plugin repo...you mean work in progress right ? I am actively looking for a currency converter too.. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-an-optional-add-on-such-as-expedited-shipping-option-in-the-cart#post-35502 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 09:24:49 +0000 Dude 35502@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> I'd also suggest to post your request here: <a href="https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/issues" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/issues</a> - as far as I know they're very responsive when it comes to feature requests. I.e. I suggested a currency converter and 4 weeks later it's in the plugin repo. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-an-optional-add-on-such-as-expedited-shipping-option-in-the-cart#post-35488 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 08:29:46 +0000 e-citron 35488@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>ask the question on github...and explain your issue. Chances are someone already needed that and coded it. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-an-optional-add-on-such-as-expedited-shipping-option-in-the-cart#post-35444 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:51:53 +0000 jsraaf 35444@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I think I figured out what you were referring to e-citron. Though I don't think it's going to work for me. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-an-optional-add-on-such-as-expedited-shipping-option-in-the-cart#post-35443 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:32:50 +0000 jsraaf 35443@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Not sure what you mean; can you explain how I could tweak that? To be more specific, I don't actually ship any of my items, they're all virtual. What I'm really needing is an expedited installation/completion option, so it wouldn't be shipping related. I'm not sure if that changes your answer at all. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-an-optional-add-on-such-as-expedited-shipping-option-in-the-cart#post-35437 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 19:31:05 +0000 e-citron 35437@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>You can tweak the "handling fee" to get the job done.</p> <p>I would ask this question on the github woocomerce as it's a great idea. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-an-optional-add-on-such-as-expedited-shipping-option-in-the-cart#post-35436 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 19:22:18 +0000 jsraaf 35436@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I realize this is most likely a specific Woocommerce question but I'll ask anyway... Is it possible to add an option in the cart where the buyer can select it to be added to their order - such as an expedited shipping fee/rush order fee add-on type of thing? If it matters, I'm using the Abundance theme.</p> <p>TIA </p>
