Thanks for the detailed feedback.
Please see my comments below.
1) Different shipping options for different products.
This is a problem we’re working on right now. Shipping options in Ecwid are powerful enough to cover most small-to-medium stores. However, when there are completely different kinds of products within the same store, it’s tricky to set the shipping right. For such complicated situations, Ecwid now offers table-based rates as a workaround — as I understand, you’re using that. Anyway, as I said, we know about the problem and we’re going to add shipping options per product in the future updates.2) Estimated shipping message.
The estimated shipping/tax is usually working good — even before entering shipping address, the customer can see what shipping cost is going to be (Ecwid tries to detect the customer location by IP address). But again, in case of complicated shipping setup and per-product workarounds, it can mistake. I’d recommend hiding the estimation block on the cart page, if you feel it can confuse customers.3) Search function and disabled categories.
The search widget currently looks for all enabled products in the store. It cam be customized though — to include products from some specific category only. In your case, if you have one root category for “visible” products, you can customize search function to only look in that category. It can be done by adding a “category” and “withSubcategory” parameters to the search URL on-the-fly. This will probably require developers skills so I’d recommend hiring a developer.

Can you elaborate on this a bit? Do you mean that all of your products are one of the kind (qty=1) and as soon as one is sold, it should be not available? If not, why do you want to stop listing when it sells and why don’t the defaul inventory management fucntions work for it? If something is out of stock but keeps available on eBay or anywhere else, that is surely not normal — we will investigate and fix that.Thanks,
Hey @crackedvesselcom1,
Thank you very much for the feedback! We’re happy Ecwid works well for you.
Can you please elaborate a bit on the two issues you outlined?
1) Shipping setup
2) Search functionWhat are difficulties you had with them? We’re working on the shipping options configuration in the store control panel now so we’ll keep your feedback in mind.
Thanks,
Glad to know that it works well now!
> I just noticed a 404 error by clicking on the widget, Shopping Cart (floating) from the pages of the site and the articles. Thanks anyway, irrelevant problem.
Can you share a link to your store please so we can see the problem ourselves?

In reply to: [Sublanguage] Problem: Sublanguage & Ecwid Shopping Cart – 404 errorThanks for the response. Please see my comments below.
> The problem is not just the 404 problem you’re referring to. Your plugin use a very custom ajax-based interface to edit products. It is impossible for a plugin to add multilanguage functionalities without doing specific code.
All of the products data in Ecwid is stored in the cloud, so there is no store posts or pages in WordPress your plugin could “multilang”. We understand that —
Ecwid is by design a SaaS solution, so an extra functionality would need to be added to your plugin to work with the Ecwid APIs. That would be cool, of course, if you can do that (we can provide the APIs to you), but again — within the scope of this issue, this is OK that the product/categories are not translated here.So, the main issue we see here is those 404 errors because they make the site not usable and we want to fix that.
> The 404 happens because the rewrite rules are regenerated on every page and overwrite extra rules added by Sublanguage for handling translations (I think they should only be regenerated on admin side, for performance reason).
Can you elaborate on this a bit? Does Ecwid plugin (when enabled) prevents yours from creating the necessary rewrite rules?

In reply to: [Sublanguage] Problem: Sublanguage & Ecwid Shopping Cart – 404 errorWhat exact WordPress APIs did you refer to? What in our plugin do you think makes the alternate-language pages on the site to respond with 404? Thanks for your help.
