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.

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.

White-labeled admin interface for your clients. (This is _not_ a self-hosted solution, but rather a white-labeled admin.)

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.113 votes -

Advanced Tax API / Integration for External Sources
Allow taxes to be calculated by using a custom tax processing script (hosted by the store, not by FoxyCart). This would allow stores to do lookups for states like Washington, which has tens of thousands of records necessary to accurately determine taxes.
Link to Washington's site:

We are sorry for the delay on this one, but we are working on some foundational improvements that’ll allow us to implement this functionality. We know that this is critically important for some merchants, and we apologize for the delay.

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.

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.

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.

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.).
