Customer Suggestions & Ideas for Ecwid

Welcome to our official feedback forum. Do you have an idea? Do you recognize a good idea when you see one? We want to hear from you!

Basic rules:
- One suggestion per idea.
- Please post ideas and comments in English.
- Please do not post “+1”, “I need it too!”, “a must have!” comments. Just vote for an idea instead.
- If an idea doesn’t have an exact ETA provided by our team, the “Any ETA?” questions will not give any answer either.

You can speed up implementation by voting for idea or sponsoring it. Please contact us at bizdev@ecwid.com for a quote.

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the “My feedback” filter and select “My open ideas”.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

    1. Increase file size

      Being able to upload files over 100meg would be awesome, as would the customer being able to download multiple fileswith one click.

      Cheers!

          • pin or password delivery option / a list of pre-generated keys

            Some people want to sell access to a secure area - if an unique password or pin code could be e-mail, that would be great.
            --
            A possibility to submit a list of pre-generated keys (for software products). So that, one of them would be automatically sent to customers after each purchase.

            • Ability to host downloadable products on a remote host

              Hi
              i think it would be great if yr site is selling downloadable products then be allowed to host them elsewhere so that you can upload as many files as yr site requires.

              • add stamping for digital downloads

                What stops customer from sharing e-book with all her friends, neighbours and whole internet? Stamping. Add a function which watermarks customer's personal details like her name, address and e-mail on footer of every page.

                E-junkie uses this, and there is a handy plugin called WP PDF Stamper which works well with PayPal. It would help to protect seller's rights long after the purchase, and doesn't include same problems (misspelled passwords, too many download attempts, changing computers) as DRM. Average customer doesn't want to share an e-book with her details on the web, and probably isn't familiar enough with pdf's to… more

                  • Download entire music album (with option to select preferred tracks)

                    Musicians can sell an entire album or compilation and let the customer choose which tracks to buy. The album would fall under 1 product only so that the Ecwid user will not have to upload every track as a single separate product but instead...upload all the relevant tracks under 1 album.

                    • Add Event Tickets

                      Add support for adding event tickets as a electronic product type. Would simply need a start and end date for the sale period and at least the facility to generate a guest list.

                      • Provision digital sales - mp3's & .mov's (Audio / Video)

                        Photos work nicely to sell using this system but video & audio files do not... It would be great if files were still laid out in the same grid/table with audio/video previews.

                        • Create a downloader for multiple digital tracks

                          If a product has multiple digital files, like in a music album, I'd like the customer to be able to click once to download all tracks instead of having to download each one separately.

                            Could you create simple form of registering ad logging in using only customers e-mail address?

                            And one more feature: list of customable questions would be nice when registering...

                            • Unique downloadable egood

                              Wondering if there is a way to use (for example) a form of mail merge or similar for a downloadable ticket. Context is selling tickets to an event whereby instead of posting buyer a physical ticket, after successful transaction they are able to download a PDF with say, their name on it and the number of tickets they purchased.

                              • Digital Uploads to Dropbox for >15mb

                                I would like the ability for uploads sent to a third party service like dropbox so that there can be larger file sizes. I currently have the ability to link an upload form to dropbox via email through an account at sendtodropbox.com. incorporating this into the shopping cart would make it a one step process for the customer. It would also bypass the ecwid server for storage.

                                  • Streamed video

                                    Would be great if one could be able to sell digital videos, that were then streamed for example from S3 or such via a flash interface. All well integrated and streamlined.

                                    Cheers!

                                    • Have the option to make a product available for purchase after a certain date but still show up

                                      We sell eBooks and it would be great to have a way to show the book as preorder before the release date, then change to order after the release date. The customer would still be able to pay for the book (preorder) and get an email with the book when it comes out.

                                      • Incorporate Mirage Multi Media Protector

                                        Mirage allows you to protect files from being copied or modified by the recipient after purchase. We develop PowerPoint files for a specific training field and it's very important that they cannot be modified or copied for redistribution due to liability purposes. Mirage currently integrates with other Digital Providers like, Digital River, Cleverbridge, Share*it, and Avangate. These sites are more difficult for the beginning shop-keeper to maneuver and design with. Mirage included into your website software would add to the security process you are currently developing for downloads!
