    1. Automatic Price adjustment based on options

      When a customer wants to choose a particular option that will increase the price, the price changes automatically instead of displaying "+$20" next to the option.

      For instance, T-Shirt has an option of long sleeve (additional $5).

      As of now customer picks an option and sees +$5 next to it. The price remains the same and will only change when the item is added to a cart.

      The idea is that the price adjusts automatically as soon as option is picked.

      This idea is particularly important when there are a few options affecting the price (long sleeve, colors, etc) and… more

      • Reusable product options / Global product options

        Example: Think about necklace sizes. It would be nice if list of sizes could be entered once and then used across hundred or so products

        • Add a checkbox input to Product Options

          Have a checkbox input so users can specify more than one choice. For example, there might be several custom options that we want to offer, but which require individual pricing. So a "I'm interested in learning more about:" title, followed by a string of checkboxes, would be helpful.

          • Add a "Dummy Option" for forcing product option selection.

            When you have a product option, like color for example, there's no way to be sure that the client has chosen their preferred color. If you default on, say, blue, what is to say this person CHOSE blue and didn't just overlook the option altogether? If you use a dummy option like "Please Select a Color" they can check out without this bringing up any red flags. There should be a way to have a dummy option that does not let the customer go through with checkout until the dummy option is deselected and one of the real options is… more

            • Dependent Options / Sub-options of Options

              Just as categories have their subcategories, it would be great to have sub-options for options. When somebody chooses a drop-down item, a new drop-down item would appear directly below the first drop-down menu allowing for more specific options.

                Some productions come in more than 1 color. It would be nice to have color swatches so customer could choose colors

                • Date Picker - Allowable Dates

                  Is there a way for me to have it so the date picker (one of the options to answer when customers purchase my item) starts at a certain date of my choice in the future?

                  In my store, based on your zip code, only certain days are deliverable, such as Wednesdays and Sundays, and other zip codes can be delivered Fridays and Sats.

                  We would need the ability to set these variables and based on that variable, define how many days out is earliest to select and which days only, etc.

                    • Add the capability to have combos/packs made from other SKU items.

                      It would be great to be able to make special combos, or preconfigured packs of items. For example, you could sell different first aid supplies, or sell them combined as various different first aid kits. Or you could sell a computer processor and motherboard separately, and together as a combo at a different price. The key is that you're not just adding a new item, you're adding an item that also is linked to the separate SKUs for its components (so that the items would be listed, and the descriptions for the individual items would be links to those items… more

                      • Ability to add existing SKU as a Product Option (and include ability to discount the Option price)

                        I'd love to have the ability for an existing SKU to be an option for another product. Would also need to be able to "over-ride" the price up/down when used as an option.

                        e.g. We sell hard Disk Drives as "standalone", in various external cases, and include them in "Build To Order" computers. Having the ability to input an item once, and then use it elsewhere as an option would be great. Also, if the pricing of the "base" item changes, having that "flow on' to all products where it is used as an option would be a great time… more

                        • Batch Changes/ More Global Options

                          Ability to change same product options/galleries/files/categories over multiple items without individually entering the changes within each product. Example: Clothing store with Tshirt sizes. If you discontinue a size you will have to remove it from all your products one-by-one.

                          Batch changes can be implemented as a "Master" product that templates for other products in real-time. Or could be another Global options just like Shipping, Tax, or Zones. Or could be a function under Catalog/Products where you search your products. Just use the check boxes to select the products you would like to change and Ecwid can search all fields for… more

                          • Удаление параметров товара которых нет на складе

                            У меня магазин кроссовок, у кроссовок имеется параметр - размер.

                            Присутствуют следущие проблемы:
                            1. Я указываю в Настройки-общие-корзина "Скрывать товары, которых нет в наличии" но при этом все размеры остаются видны. Очевидно нужна опция Скрывать параметры товара которых нет в наличии

                            Кроме того необходима возможность поиска по параметрам
                            К примеру человека интересует 34 размер кроссовок , нужна опция которая позволит найти все кроссовки которые есть в наличии с размером 34

                            2. При переносе товара в корзину, очевидно надо спрашивать покупателя о том какого размера кросовки ему нужны.

                              • product options displayed on category products

                                When you click on a category you get the list of products in that category, the price, sku, and an image, but no options so customers can add the product with the proper options straight from the category list rather than having to click on the product, then select the options. If not this, than at least a way to put a short description on each product in the category page. Can this already be done?

                                • Product Option Configuration

                                  I created a shirt and added 3 to the shopping cart. At the present configuration I cannot choose multiple sizes at the time I add the products to the cart. I have to add 1 shirt then change the option then add another shirt. There should be a wizard type thing that says I see you put in 3 shirts, what option would you like for each shirt... then display all options for each shirt - then add them to the cart.

                                  • Ecwid for Photo Service.

                                    Actually, people can add products and add as many of these products simply want to put a greater amount.

                                    "But you do not need to service a greater amount, because the service is one, would have to be an option when the client attach a file, each file you attach to join the client at the end of the total price

                                    "Like people drag their product to the shopping cart, would be a good idea that people could drag or copy and paste an image directly to any of the services or to any area you could drag your file… more

                                    • Dependent attributes/options

                                      Dependent attributes/options similar to XCart's product option exceptions implementation. It could be done even better but this will work for now.

                                      • Add a custom field next to the price so that we may display price details; per pound, per ounce, each.

                                        Sometimes it is necessary to list products with price by their weight. Adding a simple text field next to the price would allow someone to customize for: $10 for 10, $5.99 each, $0.99 Lb, $2.99 12 Oz..

                                        • Возможность задать цену в зависимости от объема покупки

                                          Добавьте возможность менять цену товара в зависимости от количества покупаемого товара.
                                          Например, стоимость одной ручки - 1$, а двух - 0,7$ за штуку

                                          • Auto Generate All Possible Combinations

                                            Auto generated the combinations and just put the fields that need to be adjusted below each combo such as price, weight, sku etc. etc.

                                            That would be much easier than having to figure out every single possible combination for products that have quite a few options.
