What would you like to see in Storenvy?!

laronje posted April 15, 2012 11:51

I see alot of threads of what people want so why don't I make a gigantic thread then you guys just add in what you would like to see in storenvy?

Well I'd like to see
-Themes
-Pages
-The addresses sent to Paypal (for seller protection)
-Maybe HTML in a simpler way like how it is for tumblr/blogger(that part may not make sense since this is a merchant site so idk)

What would you like to see!

    -copying your listings, so you don't have to enter all the info again!
    -instead of having all your products on one page (in the store admin), separate them into categories so the list isn't so long and is easier to find
    -making it easier to keep items hidden by instead of clicking on your product and then click "hidden" and have an on/off button to do that instead.

    Great idea.
    A lot of this stuff is left out for 2 reasons.
    1. It's free, adding more features means someone has to pay for those features.
    2. It's easy. Adding more features makes it more complicated then most shop owners can handle.
    3. It's hard. Storenvy is still a small team remember.

    So that said, instead of a wish list of some super cart bells and whistles stuff. Think about ways to improve the existing features.

    I would like to see.
    -Customizable Variants for multi price products.

    Feedback would be great but can't customers comment under your product or on your store profile? I have not had anyone do this yet so maybe it's just for users? Agree with quakernija- do like the simplicity!

  • Quakerninja April 15, 2012 16:44

    On a product page where it says More products at the top of the main photo, I would like that button to work like a back button for my shop, not take people to storenvy.com/browse

  • ItooCrafty April 15, 2012 22:04

    * Ability to save your themes/designs and switch between them.
    * More then 5 photos per item/product
    * For Storenvy to bust out and advertise more XD

  • PromisedDesigns April 16, 2012 15:13

    An option where several products are added and all can be made "active" at the same time rather than one, by one. :)

  • BijouBox April 16, 2012 17:40

    Maybe a ratings/guestbook feature? Kind of like ebay. I'd like to know who's honest about their products and the feedback their customers give them. Comments on products is hard for seller like myself, who make limited items; they don't stay on my storefront long.

    That's really all, to be honest lol.

  • Kodeekins April 16, 2012 20:50

    Ratings, reviews, or some form of feedback, and a messaging system to contact sellers/buyers on here. :)

  • Quakerninja April 19, 2012 06:30

    Big companies, your nike, wall mart, netflix whatever pay a lot of money in research.
    What about us little guys, thankfully if you dig deep enough you can find some tasty brain nuggets. Get out your pocket protectors and reading glasses this is going to get down right nerdy

    Making it easier to buy, means re engineering your information to be clutter less.

    Ok with some data to back this up, I think the best investment for storenvy moving forward would be to get rid of the form, ( I think this is the highest point of congestion in the current process, and leads to the highest number of "See you laters" maybe you could use Facebook connect to do this, or get that data earlier in the signup process, and save it, (not as scary as it sounds, everywhere saves data) so it's not a hurdle during checkout, or offer paypal one click payments, Paypal already has my shipping information why enter it twice.

    Part 2. Themes They have been coming soon for a long time.
    Large pretty product photos, and well displayed information.
    See the custom store post for how this works.
    I'm not saying rip off those stores, but make a better theme designed for all to use, to move folks along with products rather then just move them along.

    Strengthen differences. Promote more.
    What makes Storenvy special and attractive to sellers, and shoppers?
    Why are people still using Big Cartel, Etsy, Ebay, to sell stuff?
    Get them in here. Bang pots and pans to do it if you have to.

    I understand it's a small team with limited resources, but with precision execution you have more then enough to make a real impact. You only need one bullet to hit a bulls eye if you got the right scope, no matter the distance. Hit it!!

  • Kodeekins April 19, 2012 09:36

    QuakerNinja, they just hired Arielle to do marketing and publicize Storenvy! :) That is going to be exciting, I can't wait to see how much more traffic the site will get! So hopefully that will help get those other sellers on Etsy, Ebay and Big Cartel in here, as well as more word of mouth from sellers as well. :)

  • Quakerninja April 19, 2012 09:39

    yay :)

  • Sinotology April 19, 2012 11:44

    One thing I really really want above all else is a customizable cart page. For those of us w/ custom themes it's bad UX to go from our design to a Storenvy-branded cart page and can be confusing to users.

    Second on the list is to be able to use more than 1 promo. Let's say I'm running a store-wide sale, maybe I'd like to give customers and additional XX% off. Or I give buyers coupon codes (w/ expiration dates) for their next purchase. If I'm running a store-wide sale they might not be able to use it before it expires.

    That's it =)

  • laronje April 19, 2012 22:43

    @Kodeekins Who is arielle?

  • Quakerninja April 20, 2012 14:43

    Can you add pin it and g+ buttons site wide to the share this section for us?

  • pinpincreations April 20, 2012 15:57

    *more themes - for CSS dummies like me, i could do with a change!

    *being able to duplicate items, for instance, i have several items that i like to list seperately, but they come in different colorways. It would be nice to be able to duplicate the product and description, and then i can tweak it for each colourway?

  • Quakerninja April 20, 2012 15:58

    Storenvy 2.0 is going to be awesome.

  • Kodeekins April 20, 2012 18:42

    Laronje, she is their new PR person - here is the post about it! http://blog.storenvy.com/post/21280419498/welcome-arielle-storenvys-newest-team-member
    Storenvy is growing rapidly! All good things come with time, trial, and error! :) I am sure Storenvy is loving all of this feedback and are working hard to make it a reality while keeping Storenvy as easy to use as possible for everyone. :)

  • TwinSrpnt April 20, 2012 18:46

    Ability to delete/edit/quote answers to posts.

  • AliasPink April 20, 2012 19:56

    I love storenvy it provides more then etsy which I have to pay for.

    I do like some of the suggestions people have
    -go back button take you to more products
    -paypal import address

    I think if we want more we should pay a yearly fee maybe store envy could expand

  • Byrdwalldecals April 21, 2012 13:02

    A way for all comments to be approved BEFORE they are seen on your shop items. This would stop the spam.

  • aknackforthat April 24, 2012 01:10

    yes Quakerninja a pin option would be great! and yeah that feed back option would be great as well. =)
    so far I love the ease of everything and the part were it is free-definitly keep that part-i like that part =) (thank you)

    -The opportunity for customers to leave positive/neutral/negative feedback like on eBay, so you can get an idea of the kind of person you're dealing with when buying/selling products.
    -Opportunity for people to select payment by PayPal or bank deposit as some people don't have PayPal..

    :)

  • Cobaltraven June 18, 2012 08:18

    I would love to see a mobile app, a more inclusive religious/ spiritual section (still working on getting enough people who are willing to lend support) and maybe the possibility of adding widgets.

    Personally, I would be willing to pay a yearly fee to get more extra features.

  • ThreefoldDesign October 04, 2012 19:03

    I would like to see more categories under 'type' - I sell craft kits, so where do they go?

    I've been putting them under 'homewares', but that doesn't really define what they are. I would have thought there were quite a few DIY craft kits here on Storenvy?

    I would like to see a miniblog that features amazing sellers regularly. It's good to let buyers find wonderful sellers more easily.

    What do you think?
