Iron Heart UK V4 - Update Time Again

[Giles]

OK, Shoque will probably hate me for doing this because if you ask 100 people their opinion about anything you'll likely get 101 answers….But I would value your feedback guys...

We have identified some shortcomings with Presta, the shop software we currently use.  For instance, just about every time I have a "great" idea, Presta struggles to cope.  That is why "what do you have in my size" has had to be backed out and why "returns" has not been implemented.

So we are going to move to a new platform.

That means a redesign.

Please let me know what you think would make your life easier as a shopper/browser/lurker?  Are there some seminal features that we don't offer........?

Please put Winchy in charge of pricing the articles in the shop…

[Giles]

He's on a profit share, you want the prices to go up?

[Seul]

Shit…

'What do you have in my size' is an excellent feature and I hope to see its return. Other than that, I did have a problem with one checkout last year, but I can't recall what it was (mostly because it was my own damn fault).

A couple of thoughts:

• The ability to select a type of denim in bottoms would be nice; raw, OD, weight range, LHT, etc
• Fix the checkout system to work with a partial Paypal balance payment + CC/Bank Account

[shoque]

The checkout system, well - its inflexibility, is one of the reasons we need to move on.

INB4LOCK…something friendly with mobile devices. Seems kinda hard to navigate on my razor.

[riffblaster general]

would be cool to have a chain stitch hem option on the same checkout page as the jeans you're buying instead of having to do two separate searches.  it's a minor thing though, because it's really about 5 seconds of effort.

this will be a core feature of the new website.

building off of what veloaudio said and what i did a while back…you could consider a fully faceted catalog.

filter by cut/material/item etc.

FEEEEEECCCCCKKKKK

I'm loving the new logo that we will use…..

[RocknRoll]

I'm not sure if this is too trivial, but I'd like the sizing charts to be immediately visible on the product pages (i.e. without needing to click on another tab).

My only other suggestion: When in doubt (about anything), keep things as simple as possible.

[Finn666]

^sounds like a plan to me!

[Giles]

Thats not trivial, but may be difficult with something like the IH-634S where we have so many sizes we effectively need 2 tables.

What I am keen on doing is having a table viewable on the main product page that shows what is in stock and what is not…Something like this:

[Snowy]

Logic to not show out-of-stock, and auto/only show in-stock combinations is always good.

It might have a bit more of a back of house learning curve, have been hearing MANY good things about spree;

Thanks Snowy, currently I think we will run the whole IH-Shop on Shopify, takes away lot of maintenance-, coding- and paymentgateway-work.
