I changed a lot in the code so *please* let me know if anything is
acting funny or not working. I’ve tested as much as I can stand, but I
need to take a break now 😉
You’ll see the main addition at the bottom of your stocking page. You
can now list choices for your products. This may include colors,
fabrics, custom dyeing, scents, etc. For each choice, you enter a
descriptive title, the quantity you have available, and any additional
charge (you can also set this to 0 if there’s no additional charge).
Also, there’s a field for a flat additional shipping fee per item.
This will be added to the base shipping price you use in the normal
shipping fields. If you enter some choices, the quantity field will
automatically be filled in with the sum of all your choice quantities.
Also, you’ll see that if you list choices, your customers will now be
able to specify the number of items they’d like to purchase (via a
drop down menu). To see what I mean, here’s a test item:

If you don’t fill in any choices, the product details page will work
as it always has (i.e., customers will only be able to buy one item at
a time). If you only have one choice, but you would like customers to
be able to buy more than one item at a time, fill in the first line in
the choice table and they will have that ability.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Probably the easiest way
to understand how the choice options work is to go ahead and play
around with them. Stock a few fake items and make some test purchases.
I added a comments field to the orders list that will list quantities
of each choice the customer purchased.
Oh, one other little thing. When you get your confirmation e-mails
now, you can hit reply and they will go to the buyer, not back to
purchase@hyenacart.com . Same goes for the customer’s e-mail. When
they reply, it will go to the seller. That’s just to make life a
smidge easier for everyone.
Thanks so much for using Hyena Cart 🙂
