Can you sell things on the website?  Like caps and mugs and other logo items.

Which website is a good example of such a thing? 

 

We do not have a built in shopping cart or an online store (yet - this is being considered for our development plan). What you can do right now is embed 'buy buttons' or externally hosted stores (like Amazon A-Store) into a Wild Apricot site. We have never specifically searched to see which of our clients have this setup (and it would not be easy to find automatically) so we do not have any examples handy.

YES! YES! YES! This would be fantastic. If I had a +6STAR vote this would get that vote. We could integrate a lot of the functions, like recommending products (like books, videos) and special services that we currently offer (like purchasing vendor sponsor space on our website) or buying our membership email list.

We are interested in this also.

We are also interested in a shopping cart and online store for our site.

Do you have any near future launch date of this feature being available?

Thanks

Sorry, no, this has not been scheduled for development yet.

It would be really useful if people could bundle the purchases they make on the website, for example: sign up for membership, then book an event, and pay for them together. Or have the option to make an extra donation when they book an event, and pay for them together.

At the moment users who want to attend member-only events have to join or renew, and go through paypal for that, then sign up for the event, and go through paypal again, which is quite a deterrent for some people.

Any plans for this? Would anyone else find this useful?
 

Absolutely! This goes hand in hand with the need to enable registration of multiple participants and/or multiple events in a single transaction. I've got this big event coming up next spring that consists of multiple sub-events with separate registration and discounts for members, and I'm increasingly concerned about how onerous the registration process is going to be.

Count us in! Absolutely.

We would also like to see this developed

Yes would love this as well. Count us in

YES!  PLEASE add a "shopping cart" feature ASAP!!  We plan to add various products to our member site as soon as the membership base grows.   <];-}

Yes, this would definitely be useful for us.  Many of our members renew and sign up for conferences at the same time, or first become members when there is a conference.

I would like this too.

YES! This would be so useful and much needed. Any idea when this would happen?

Thanks!

As you can see, there is very little feedback on this thread yet - so this is still just an item under consideration on the wishlist, there is no plan/timeline yet.

Yes I'd like this too,.

I would really like an online store capability too!

Dmitry - Unless customers need to track the merchandise members buy, we've found an excellent solution to this similar to what you suggest with Amazon.  Lands' End now offers a free eStore that carries much of their merchandise on which you can apply your organization's logo.  The benefit is that merchandise management is controlled entirely by them.  Credit card processing, inventory management, defect/return control, guarantees, and customer service.  All the benefits of an eStore without the hassle.  https://ocs.landsend.com/lebo/CCSetup/account/login  We intend on adding an external link to two Wild Apricot sites.  Feel free to pass this along to your customers.  Cheers, Marc Lotti

 

 

Thanks, appreciate sharing your finding.

Our association also wants to have this capability. We won't be selling physical inventory as often as digital resources - so purchaser may get a URL link or a file, not something that's shipped. So what they'll "get" for their purchase may be sent to them in a confirmation message.

I would really like to see this feature implemented ASAP

Yes it would be good to have a built in shopping cart that supports digital downloads. 

The Paypal widget works find but it does not support digital downloads.

Is there anyway to set up the registration fee process so that it could be used for digital downloads?

There is never a bad day when you are surfing, in the ocean that is...

We just started our website (Group) and we really would like to have an online store with a shopping cart.  We now use PayPal which has the shopping cart feature but having a "store" on this new website would be great.

In addition, having an online store that has the ability to supports digital downloads would be outstanding!

 The sooner the better for this feature!  Thanks.
