Some HC Multi upgrades now available + marketing campaign start-up

HC Multi users — you have two new things to play with:

1) You now have the option of adding shipping prices to each individual item. Instructions are on the stocking page. You enter both a main shipping price, to represent the shipping price if that were the only item to be ordered, and an add-on shipping price, which represents the additional shipping an already exisiting order would incur with the addition of this item. If you do start adding shipping prices, be sure to enter “999” for shipping options that you don’t want to offer your customers (FedEx, for example). You’ll probably want to try it out on a few items and test purchase them so you can get a feel for how it works. The final shipping price is calculated using the max main shipping price plus the add-on prices of all the other items. Also note, if you use this option, you’ll want to zero out the flat-rate shipping price on your “Store Config” page. If you choose not to use this option and leave everything as is, your store will continue to function as it has in the past.

2) You now have room to add 6 choices per listing and a price associated with each choice.

If you have trouble with the new options, please post here: http://hyenacart.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=21735

Also, I’ve gotten feedback from newbies that the homepage is scary, lol. So I’ve experimentally removed the left sidebar from that page. You can sound-off about that move here: http://hyenacart.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=21729 . I can easily be convinced to put it back. Consider it a short-term experiment.

Everyone else: the marketing campaign for HC is just getting started. If you are interested, there’s a forum here: http://hyenacart.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=26

And we have a CafePress store now, where you can buy t-shirts, bumper stickers, even stamps 😉 : http://www.cafepress.com/hyenacart . I’ll shortly be adding more items, specifically ones with this cute little guy:

who was designed by my sister 🙂

I’ll keep you updated as the campaign takes shape.

Thanks!
