First, I want to say I am extremely impressed with the ease and professional look of this software. I have never been so impressed as I am now...we have used inkfrog for over two years and loved it, which is why I came here.

That being said...suggestions

I did notice a couple of things so far that would be nice to have.

I like my customers to know how we ship, when and how much right there on the item page. This software does not allow this unless I type or copy and paste each time.

Customers need to know on that page what shipping costs are and how much if added to another item. We also need a brief detail box to put in standard info so we do not always have to cut and paste.

A larger link showing buyers where terms are would be nice.

While in no way do I want this to turn into ebay...in any way shape or form, I just think buyers need to find things out faster to know if they want to purchase or not.

Last;

Why can't I copy and paste? Why do I have to use ctrl V?? It slows me down.

thanks for all your hard work.

ahh freedom...

I agree it would be nice to have the shipping cost for the item shown under the price. I see no need for this to have anything to do with might be in the cart just calculate the price for that item or use the flat rate if that is what is set plus any add on for handling. The shopping cart would then show the final shipping for item(s) in the cart.

Looking at this as a buyer I like to know what it will cost to ship an item. Case in point I was looking before Christmas at an item for one of the grand kids it's cost was $19.95, I was okay with that then I went through part of the checkout process to find that shipping was $24.95 now add the 2 together and I was not willing to pay that much so I left the site.

I can see where if as a seller you are charging extreme S/H you may not want it seen to later hoping someone won't pay attention to it.

Maybe it could be an option in admin to show it or not.

As a buyer, I don't like having to go through most of the checkout to find out my shipping charges, then go back and make changes to my cart just to have to go through checkout again to see the new shipping charges.

I've seen some sites that have a little running tally of your cart contents to the right of the page as you're shopping and for the shipping it says "click to calculate." When you click, you can add in your zip code and it calculates the shipping for what's in your cart. Then the buyer can add/remove items from the cart and the shipping will continue to update with each item and the buyer doesn't have to go through half of the checkout process only to find out the shipping is too high.

Something like that would be nice, or anything that would give the buyer a little preview of the shipping amount without having to go through checkout first.
