I do think that having clear requirements does help greatly when it comes to selecting an ecommerce product. You want to have a list of requirements and level of importance when you go shopping for one. While I think I have a pretty good product, I also know there are people out there for whom something else is a better fit. Products like mine that try to be really comprehensive on features can be a little more challenging for the merchant, no matter how user-friendly I make it. In some cases, they may be better off with something really simple and with basic features. Options is one particular area where carts differ greatly. Some are very basic while others offer so much complexity, their options system is sold as a separate software add-on. I've tried to have a pretty flexible system, and mine does allow for either standard options that you can use for multiple products or custom ones you design for a single product, as well as a system for doing things like free-entry textboxes, quantity text fields, checkboxes, etc. And you can certainly dup a product as well and carry all of that over to a new one. >Building the product from the same "options" set >would be great but in this scenario we don't want the customer to select >size. if product options also have a check box for "Allow Customer to >Change" or something would be great. Not really sure I follow what you are doing here, but I think my addons would possibly cover it. >Now batch upload of products and POS integration would be Sexy! My next version will also have the batch upload (export as well) as well as an orders export and import function to update your stock amounts. -------------------- Mary Jo Sminkey http://www.cfwebstore.com CFWebstore, ColdFusion E-commerce ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
