CandyPress Customization
thisIdea has a great deal of experience in setting up and optimizing the popular CandyPress shopping cart. CandyPress is very powerful, and will allow you to:
- Manage products through an intuitive administrator interface
- Integrate with multiple payment gateways, no coding knowledge required
- Generate real-time shipping rates from USPS, UPS, and more
- Send newsletters to customers in plain text or HTML format
- Create customer discount codes, track user reviews, and much more
However, without tweaking, it will not let you:- Target newsletters to specific groups of customers based on their activity within your store
- Log user searches to help you optimize your product mix and marketing strategy
- Optimize your pages for Google indexing, a key to generating traffic to your store
- Perform bulk updates of order status or product details, which can become very time consuming if your store generates many orders
- Indicate the cost of items you sell, a critical component if you want to track not just how much revenue your store is making, but how much profit you are making
That is where thisIdea comes in. From simple modifications to make your job as an administrator easier, to major overhauls we have the knowledge to make your store stand out from the crowd. Here are a few examples of work we've done in the past - what can we do for you?
- Create a business to business version that allowed retailers to set up virtual stores to sell their products, leveraging the main CandyPress cart's features such as product catalog and payment gateways
- Showing images for product options to give the customer a full appreciation of the product they were purchasing
- Creation of advanced search tools to allow users to search not only by product name and price, but by product option and custom product characteristics
- Generate automated data exports for use by third parties such as Froogle and others
- Administrator reports to show profit by county for tax purposes
