It would be good to resurrect the shop Trello board so we can better request features and see what's being worked on. For all apps this sort of thing would be useful.
Are then plans to delelop and add extra features to Perch shop?
Also it was mentioned by Drew that some first party apps would be put on GitHub and opened up for pull requests. I realise that in many situations that can create just as many problems as it solves though. But is that still being considered?
Thanks, I tried on a number of occasions to break through and get Perch Shop up and running. But I found the setup and docs very difficult to understand and implement.
I've managed to build a working shop, unfortunately the client decided not to use it in the end. It was very tricky but it's definitely got potential I think. I'd really like to see it get some love.
I have a couple of shops up and running and I have to say I’m a big fan. It allows me to design the look and feel exactly how I want.
That’s not to say there aren’t issues. Top of the list are the concerns re stripe SCA which starts coming in to use in the EU in June.
Also the lack of search to find or filter orders and customers means that you have page through them a page at a time… painful.
Being able to sell 1.5kg of nails instead of 1500g of nails would make more sense to customers.
Integrations with leading accountancy software would be a nice touch as would creating pdfs of invoices for customers to download.
Please, please do something about the spam registrations. Some use the same email address which I didn’t think was possible.
Lastly the ability to customise the information displayed variant listing would hugely improve product management.
Like said you have a great product, a solid starter for ten, on which to build.
If Shop is getting some attention could we have a thread for suggestions & comments so Shop thoughts are all in one place?
I've recently built my first shop using Perch and it's gone very smoothly. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to PHP I'm more of a front-end developer, but I've got there with no issues and I'm happy with the result, as is my client. I'll echo the comment above, I really like that I can just build the front-end of my shop exactly how I want. I've used Woocommerce in the past and that is an absolute nightmare to work with.
The docs for shop are OK, but they could do with some improvement. I think a video series like the current Blog add-on has with example files to follow along with would be a real help to new users.
Hi Gareth, I have posted a new item on the forum under the the Site Building Questions area but it is waiting to be approved. I could do with that happening soon please.
Cheers

Hello everyone.

There has been no covering of the forums this week. At least, no replies from Will B and Matt A ? There are many posts where the Perch team has not commented. Obviously, this leaves a very very poor impression. Many people are moving away from Perch. I'd suggest that establishing a much more proactive forum would be a good place to start if you want to attract people to Perch.
