The new Website is now LIVE.

OK - Been working on the email issue a bit more. We have some reports that the system is now working. I did have the ISP take a look at things, but pretty sure they did not change anything yet. Are you guys now getting emails? Pretty sure I still need to make some DNS and DMARC changes. Just got to figure out what those may be.. LOL

 

[Landru]

I got an email about your post above.

 

[thenated0g]

I have been getting all the emails now. Even had to do a store password reset and i got it instantly.

 

[Wayne]

Odd - I guess I'll lay low for a bit and put out some other fires for now.

Thanks!

 

[thenated0g]

I did literally zero changes on my side.

Has the "wish list" feature disappeared? I can only add items to the cart, but I don't see how to add it to a wish list - or how to take a look at my wish list.

 

[Wayne]

Sorry, no wishlist at this time. We are looking at adding a number of features, and the wishlist is one of those, but I am reluctant to make any big changes to the site until next year. It is always scary to mess with it. We have a HUGE amount of time and labor invested in the current site, and it is working really well. I sort of just want to enjoy it for a bit before I do anything too risky.

How long does your cart get saved? seems like its forever. I hate how sites try and get you to purchase stuff by setting it to expire. Like im logged in. Why cant you save it for me??

 

[getsuyoubi]

While it is in your cart nobody else can purchase it, I guess.There has to be an "expiration date".

very logical explanation

 

[Wayne]

Nope - if 2 people have the last of an item in their cart, only the first guy to complete the purchase will get it, the other guy gets an out of stock message. There are a ton of open carts at any given moment. Some are humans, some are bots. People price shopping, checking out shipping expenses, etc. The vast majority of carts do not end up in a purchase.

Imagine, I could go to a site and put all of their inventory in my cart and they would not be able to make any sales.

We have had a few people make a check/cash purchase on a hot item, then not pay us. We may wait weeks for the payment, and then cancel the order, finally releasing the stock for someone else to purchase it. It sucks, and why you do not see many sites willing to accept that sort of payment.

 

[jure]

again, your explanation makes even more sense Wayne, the cart is not a layaway mechanism

 

[thenated0g]

Mainly my question about when it expires was because I tend to use my loft cart as a wish list for future purchase when I'm speccing out a plain build

 

[jure]

maybe what we are looking for is just a "wishlist" kind of feature , from where we add to the cart when actually buying.

 

[thenated0g]

It has been working really well as is. I dont think i have lost a cart of stuff yet.

 

[Wayne]

I honestly do not know as that is not something I can control with Shopify. I'm surprised it has not expired at some point.

 

[jure]

just noticed that my order history has vanished ...

Check your other email... You have 2 accounts...

 

[thenated0g]

I think that means you get a refund on all your orders @jure

Check your other email... You have 2 accounts...

Ok , now the order history is there , but in the old account. May it be possible to transfer the transactions to "jure" ?

thanks !
