General Requests

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING.

This is the official FoxyCart FEATURE REQUEST system. We take our user feedback very seriously, as our goal is to provide the most flexible and powerful ecommerce platform available. We can’t do this without you.

There are three different request lists.

  • GENERAL Requests
  • PAYMENT Gateways
  • SHIPPING Carriers

PLEASE make sure you review the existing requests before submitting a new one, as this will help us avoid duplicates.

Please note that that this is NOT for:

  • SUPPORT, please use our forum
  • BUG REPORTS, please use the bug reporting form or our forum
  • ANYTHING other than feature requests ;)

What would you like to vote for?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the “My feedback” filter and select “My open ideas”.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

        We have started compiling all the requests we’ve received over the years, and will be planning out our next release(s) to address as many as possible, in as flexible a way as possible.

        Update 2011.02.02: We’re getting very close to wrapping up v0.7.1 as official, after which point we will be starting development of shipping improvements in earnest. We know this has been a long time in coming, but we hope that what we’re planning has all the flexibility you all need.

        Update 2012.03.26: Yes, we know this has been a long, long time in coming. We can’t get too specific, but we can say that we are actually working on it, and it is largely proceeding as planned. We’ll continue to update here as we make progress.

      • Gift Certs/Vouchers

          • Make Shopping Cart Editable In Checkout Screen

            Currently, if a customer wants to delete something or change the quantity of an item in their cart on the checkout page, they cannot do so. They have to go back to the main website and view their shopping cart. This is a bit of a hassle. It would be nice if they could edit their cart in the checkout screen.

                • Tax-Inclusive Prices & Tax Rates

                  Ability to set a tax-inclusive rate, so a product with price=50 and an inclusive tax of 10% would actually display a tax line item of $5 on the cart/receipt. When voting, please provide feedback (including the country you need it for) on this request if you do vote for it.

                  There's a workaround here: http://bit.ly/ce00cA

                  • Template Language: Editable cart, checkout templates

                    Though styling both the ^^cart^^ and ^^checkout^^ is possible with CSS and javascript, it would be super cool to have the ability to
                    replace both with the editable templates that include all the necessary variables to provide more flexibility within each template.

                      This will be available in our next release. We’re using Twig as the template language, with Swig to parse and display the template in javascript (where necessary).

                      This will be an advanced feature, but we’re currently finishing up testing it and we’re excited to finally offer this. It’ll be available on the cart, checkout, receipt, and email templates.

                    • Bundled product discount

                      Example: Get Product B for $5 off with purchase of Product A.

                                    Update 2012.05.10: We’re working on a new API, which includes this. We’ll update again when it’s documented and ready for you to use. Thanks for your patience. (Fwiw though in the meantime v0.7.2 allows for bulk importing of codes via the admin.)

                                  • Persistent Carts / Saved Carts / Wish Lists

                                    The ability to save a cart, or save a cart ID for reference and attachment to a user in an external system (like a CMS).

                                    This would allow not only for saved carts, but also for things like wish lists, recommended carts (if saved carts could be replicated), and "repeat my past order" types of situations.

                                    • Customer Portal to view Transactions, Subscriptions, and to Update Billing Info

                                      Even though FoxyCart is built to integrate, it would be useful to have a basic customer portal that displays past transactions (possibly with the ability to place re-orders or re-load a past transaction into their cart), active subscriptions (with links to transfer, update billing, or cancel), and a display of their current account information.

                                      • Tax exempt customers

                                        There needs to be some way for a customer to specify that they are tax exempt. As it stands I have to actually turn OFF tax for their jurisdiction, and then turn it back on after they have ordered.

                                        • API: Store Settings, Store Creations

                                          An API to
                                          -- create FoxyCart stores,
                                          -- manipulate store settings (create coupon codes, re-cache a template), and
                                          -- retrieve store data (like transactions, subscriptions, errors, etc.).

                                          This would allow FoxyCart to be completely integrated into external systems.

                                          • Standalone Checkout, Checkout API, FoxyCart as Gateway

                                            The ability to use the FoxyCart checkout completely programatically would allow an insane degree of flexibility. Create a completely custom checkout form or order process, for example, or use FoxyCart inside of non-website settings (like Adobe AIR, Flash, etc.).
