@Madame Buttonfly I have also noticed that the "see product in shop" link does not work on the IHT-1610 forum page.

Does now - thanks…..

You're welcome

Two things we would like your advice on.

1)  Should we add Australian Dollars as a payment currency?
2)  Should we add Amazon Payments as a payment method?

1. Only if you refer to them as SHTRALYAN DOLLAROOS

[Chris]

Do you get a significant portion of sales from Oz?

[Giles]

Not an extraordinary amount, but I think that it should be a lot larger than it is…..

[Dion]

Amazon is pretty huge and present everywhere on the globe, so it might be a good paying option for folks who do not use paypal or credit cards.

Quick UX question/observation having browsed the site via mobile (iOS) a bit this evening.  Feel free to shoot me down if I'm way off on this.

Should the product type filter be collapsed by default (like the 'menu' dropdown) once you've clicked off the homepage?  Seems a bit jarring to have to scroll down on a product page, or even a category page (i.e. Bottoms), once you've clicked through.  Just means you can't see what you've clicked through to/for the instant the page has loaded.

Haven't compared how this currently works/displayed on desktop btw…

If anything it'll be a great way to educate the misinformed about my culture

[Snowy]

I'm not fussed either way. It doesn't make a difference to me either way. Currency conversion fees are usually only 1-2% and it's not enough to stop a purchase. Do you really want to be stuck holding AUD would be my question

[dylantbmayes]

Do you actually hold the foreign currencies though? Once funds are received you can convert to your preferred currency, right?

[Giles]

We hold USD, JPY, GBP and Euro because we need them.  AUD could get converted and put straight into our GBP account by Braintree (if a credit card transaction) or converted to GBP if a PayPal transaction…..

@Jeansman:

Some people like @Giles  will be relieved to know that I cannot log in to the forum on my mobile - the log in box is not shown on my mobile under the pic of the Stubborn Crew! I can log in on my PC OK. Does this issue affect anyone else?

Now fixed. Thanks, guys.

[Snowy]

So it comes down to do you want the consumer to pay a conversion fee from AUD>USD|GBP or if you want to pay the few extra % in conversion yourself. I assume the AUD feel would be built in a way that reflects fees from the conversion being factored in anyhow.

I'd say the general person probably would want AUD. I prefer USD as it means I get 3x as many credit card points for using intl currency (yeah I'm one of them :P)

[Giles]

Thank you.  We will take AUD.  Just getting it sorted….

Who do you bank with that offers this, @Snowy?

I get two points for every dollar spent on all transactions, never heard of bonus points for intl transactions.

@G, NP's.
@D, Amex Plat. I travel enough for work. LMK if you're interested (referral bonus for us both). It's baller, I admit it :|.

[dylantbmayes]

I did have an Amex Platinum charge card, don't recall it having bonus points for international transactions though…

Decided to downgrade to Gold when they bumped up the Platinum yearly fee by $400, a few months back I did away with Amex charge altogether.

Now I have a MasterCard Platinum rewards card through CommBank, with complimentary Amex.

*CommBank Platinum Amex is actually 2.5 points for every dollar spent, not 2 like mentioned before.

Pricing can now be displayed and payments made in Australian Dollars…..
