Hi everyone,
You know it’s been on my to-do list all year. Well, we finally have lotteries, auctions and Buy Now’s on HC Multi. Auctions and lotteries you’re probably already familiar with. Buy Now’s are HC-standard-style listings that prevent overselling. But, true to HC Multi, they also allow the customer to put more things in her cart after the Buy Now purchase and check out with everything at once.
I’m also working in a Hold type listing, that lets a hyena put something in her cart and basically reserves it for her for 10 minutes, then restocks the item if payment isn’t completed (that’s payment via Paypal, not check or MO). I figure this needs to be a Paypal-only type feature. Hopefully I’ll get the bugs worked out of this in the next few days. ~ ETA: I think this is working now. Please post to the forum thread below if you find any bugs ~
You’ll see new features on your vendor pages as a result of all these changes. I won’t explain them all, hopefully they’ll be pretty self-explanatory. Please post questions here. The Buy Now option also has a restocking feature which allows you to automatically restock an item.
You can see the new features in action at the HC Multi test store.
I also changed the listings a bit so that shipping options are clearly listed for all items.
One other note: I pruned the HC Forums a few nights ago and totally fogot about the feedback forums. So older threads were deleted. I do have them archived. I just need to do some database work to get the old threads merged back into the current forums. I do have it jerryrigged so the feedback links from the stores should reflect even the pruned feedback.
I think that’s all for now. Give the new features a try and let me know how they work 🙂
