First of all, thank you *so* much for all of your feedback via the survey. I am extremely grateful for your thoughtful replies and I think I’ll be able to make some meaningful changes to the site soon.
In the meantime, one issue I saw that came up in both the vendor and customer surveys was the wish for HC Standard stores to have multiple item check-out and the resistance against HC Multi stores because of their “look” and the multiple clicks needed to navigate them. To be honest, I don’t see adding a cart to HC Standard in the near future. It’s a fairly major undertaking and I still feel that vendors who tend to sell multiple items at a time should consider switching to HC Multi. To that end, I’ve just added an option to the HC Multi stores that gives them the HC Standard look and feel.
To do this, go to your Shop Config page, scroll down to the “Landing” option and choose “Table View.” Your store will then show all items in table format like HC Standard stores. See the sample store, for example: http://hyenacart.com/HCmulti/
I hope this change addresses some of the issues you brought up. Of course, there are a ton more, but this was something I was able to tackle in an evening 😉
Thanks again!
