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 ;)

Ability to specify own SMTP Servers
While we can configure SPF this can cause problems when you hit max SPF lookups (which is easy to do when using lots of third party systems).
In addition it still means we authorise Foxycart to send any email on our behalf.
Preferred would be the ability to specify our own SMTP servers for outgoing email. We then have full control over SPF, DKIM and DMARC settings.
0 votesThis is planned. DMARC becoming more widely used is certainly problematic for many users. We don’t have a timeframe on it, but it’s definitely being discussed internally, and we’ve got an Enterprise Plan user who needs it as well.
UPDATE 2017-05-09: We have this in QA, and are working to improve our handling of situations where the SMTP connection fails.

Advanced coupons for subscriptions
Allow coupons to be created that allow discounts as follows:
50% off your subscription for first 6 months
$2 off your subscription for first 12 months6 votes -
Sendy Integration
Integration for Sendy. Sendy allows for Newsletter marketing at a much lower cost than other programs since they are hosted on Amazon S3. So we could have 10,000 subscribers for $1 a month.

Ability to retain gateway credentials
It would be useful for those who process via multiple merchant accounts to be able to switch them over without having to reenter the credentials in the foxycart admin.

Customer Tax ID validation / verification
For tax-exempt customer functionality, it'd be nice to validate the Tax ID where possible (like using VIES system for the EU). If you vote for this, please comment noting which countries you're concerned about, and your desired use case.

Set Cart Minimum Price and/or Products
An option within the FoxyCart Admin for vendors to set a minimum number of products or minimum total amount that must be in the cart before displaying the checkout button.
1 voteAdminfoxycart_brett (Admin, FoxyCart) responded
This is currently possible with javascript on the cart and checkout. Though this may eventually become an option in the admin, we recommend doing it with javascript for now.
Check https://wiki.foxycart.com/v/2.0/snippets or the appropriate page for the version you’re on. Post in our forum for help.

Include subscription status in subscription XML datafeed
Currently it is difficult to differentiate whether a subscription appearing in the subscription XML datafeed is there due to a cancellation or because the subscription has ended. Including a subscription status of "canceled", "complete", or "failed" would make filtering and processing the subscriptions datafeed much easier.

MODX Integration
A MODX Revolution + FoxyCart integration, similar to FoxyShop or FoxyPress for WordPress.
If you're interested in this, please register and vote for this. That way we can notify you if something becomes available.

Purchase Subscriptions as Guest
Currently if a subscription is added to the cart, the purchaser must create an account and cannot checkout as a guest. This interferes with how some organizations operate who prefer to manually manage the dunning process.

Multiple Origin Postal Codes
Multiple Origin Postal Codes - this would allow for accurate shipping rates to be displayed when products ship from different locations. Store owners could drop ship directly from a manufacturer or ship from one of more physical locations and charge customer accurate shipping rates at time of purchase. Therefore, each product would allow a postal code to be entered/passed through to the shipping engine for calculation of freight.

Track Email Bounces For Digital Downloads
We'd like to be notified if a customer mistypes their email, thus prevented them from getting their items. Also, if this does happen we'd like the ability to edit their email address in order to resend the email with their item links.
3 votes2013-10-30: Definitely a good idea. Something we’ll consider as we continue to make improvements.

full screen
Full Screen Mode for checkout/cart template editor textareas would be awesome. I'm sure most people copy/paste the code into an editor as I do to make it readable, but it could be nice to be able to make the textarea larger, like this: http://burakson.github.io/fseditor/.

Dynamic Downloads
In situations where you have thousands of possible downloads and only a small number of them are expected to be purchased or will be purchased only once (e.g. raw print-quality photos), it is overkill to upload all the files in advance to the FoxyCart servers.
Instead of uploading products in advance, it would be great if downloadable products could be dynamically created during a purchase transaction. If the add-to-cart request has enough information to define the download (name, category, code, price, and download location), then the product will be created either when the product is added to the cart or…

Login With Facebook
We had a client that wanted to include the "Login with Facebook" Feature. Not sure if it would be better at the checkout or before that.
This will speed up new user registration and makes logging in easier in case they forgot their password.
Easily share products with your friends and possibly see if any of your friends bought products from the site as well.
Settings for control and privacy of your information should also be included.

Store multiple credit cards on a single customer account
Allow customers to store multiple credit cards on an account. Helpful in a variety of ways but particularly for wholesale accounts that might have multiple people making orders that don't have copies of the credit card.
