Fully understanding it will be awhile before C5 has an ecommerce side to it, what is everyone using for clients in the meantime? If the architecture of C5 appeals to you then i'd be interested in knowing what ecommerce package most pleases you to work with - pros, cons, etc.
we're focusing on making something that serves 70-80% of the audience really well and is extendable for others...
so yes, there will be custom attributes you can assign to product and an ability to search them... there will be flat rate shipping, and a simple sale price system... we won't get into taxes, complicated shipping calculators, etc.. that stuff quickly becomes country specific and we believe as long as we make it easy for you all to extend the system to do what you need, there's more value for everyone.. (make a great shipping calculator for DHL and you can sell it in the marketplace.)
so yes, the picture is just a taste - but no, there won't be thousands of tabs everywhere...
Works well on my test site. Thanks! If you could add a product image and a description and multiple products that'd be perfect. Great start though! And the todo list looks good as well.
Just an idea would be to have 3 or 4 products in the same entry. So my idea would be to have a "add item" button then have the bring up the form that you have for the Title, pricing, number, shipping fee. Then when you add the item it would take you back to the pop up where you could "add another item" or you could reorder the products, edit them etc... but this would probably take some jquery and might be getting too complicated for what you intend. It was just an idea.
Makes sense. This was meant to be a simple paypal addition. I think the energy involved in expanding this would be better put into a full ecommerce solution such as the C5 team is working on.
