I wanted to get this out on the forum to see what others thought.
Dear Storenvy,
Some things I thought were annoying is when you add a product you've got to add the variants every time. Bigcartel has an option to save a default set which is awesome for shirts.
Having to set the full stock amount is also kind of annoying. Bigcartel just makes you put in how many you have in stock then tells you how man you've sold. It's a little thing but it's an extra step that doesn't need to be there and I like bigcartels method a lot more.
Pages
I hear this will come soon but giving users more pages is essential if you want them to run their whole site on storenvy, right now you are limited.Blog
it would be great.Google Analytics e-commerce
This would be a dream come true if I could set up the e-commerce section of google analytics.Left bar is way to bulky, I deleted the whole thing because there wasn't anything there I needed.
Product Price bar, on product page
You have to go into the second css page to pull out the css info for the product price bar which I think is really ugly. That gradient is awful and the blue color for the numbers should be white if your going to give users the ability to edit it in the basic color selection page.Some of the market pages don't work right, most loved isn't most loved, I'm sure there are probably other areas.
I say these things because I care about you and I love you very much

Thanks, homez! We love hearing from people who have passionate opinions about what we're doing. We've got a lot of this on the roadmap already and we'll take a look at all the rest. I should go ahead and get the Google Analytics thing rigged up this week or next.
Also, everyone should keep in mind that the Storenvy team isn't even close to letting up. We've got TONS more that we want to do with the site. We just wanted to get this version out there for people to start using it. So if your "killer feature" is missing. chances are it's on the way.
Keep the feedback coming.

jonkruse, thanks for the feedback.
With regards to "basic" template design and UI (i.e. Sidebar and Product Price Bar), keep in mind that we've attempted to design a basic system that is useful for the masses. I can completely understand your being underwhelmed by elements of it.
However, this is where guys like yourself come in and bring customized wizardry to the table. Remember, you can be as crazy and far-fetched as possible while customizing. Wipe the entire HTML and CSS file clean if you choose (obviously leaving liquid elements intact), write new CSS rules that suit you better, etc, etc.
Lastly, you should be able to override any existing CSS by writing your own, or changing existing IDs & classes if you choose. Let me know if you think you're running into a problem with that, and I'll take a look.
We love you very much too. Shred *forever*.

I know you can change anything you want in css, just the regular price bar on the product page isn't up to par with the rest of the default layout. Changing the gradient background for it to a solid color is a lot better design and putting these colors in the control would really be "for the masses". I'm just pointing out that it's something that is hard for anyone that doesn't know css to change and can be better.
Awesome about google analytics. Your going to set it up so I can use the ecommerce section of it and track sales right?
-
Personally the only gripe I have is the fact that the product thumbnails in collections and "all products" have to be squares. which is kinda weird considering my main photos for the products are rectangles.
-
Something I have noticed, maybe its just be since i'm pretty new to this site and I just set up my shop, but once you turn off the edit at the top of your page, there is no easy way to get back to the admin for my store.

Yo mack just admin onto the end

How do I set up the google analytics?
-
That's still coming. In the next few weeks, I'm going to be adding a bunch of widgets to the store HTML options like Google Analytics, Twitter, RSS, etc. Stay tuned.
-
You can just setup google analytics like on any site by copyin and pasting the code, right?
What is the rss for? They have one on bigcartel for the products but I don't think it's very useful. Twitter would be cool.
-
Considering they blocked out javascript, I don't think you can just copy and paste the code.
-
I'm almost done with a Google Analytics plugin and a Twitter feed plugin. They should be available in the next couple days.
-
can anyone order from these stores, or must you sign up and become a member 1st, to order?....
-
Logged out users can add items to their cart and then when they go to check out, they are prompted to create an account. It's really easy though. Username, email, password, Submit! It takes 10 seconds and will allow users to track their order when we find time to get that feature done.
-
Any idea when i will be able to ship these packages through paypal?
Right now the address doesn't show up in paypal. This is the one thing that I really care about as a store owner. Keep us posted.
-
That's just a PayPal issue at this point. We'll be adding the functionality as soon as PayPal adds it to their Adaptive Payments API. Unfortunately, I wouldn't hold my breath for it being the next few weeks or anything. They take a really long time to add features. I'll let you know when I heard something though.
-
Be sure to make a lot of noise on the blog, twitter, forums, etc. when the Google Analytics functionality goes live, because that's most def. a thing to have. I love my stats like a fat kid loves cake.
