Hello,
I need feedback from everyone to make an iodine before designing a site.
A client wants to incorporate on the current site that I have made a product sales page. The site is designed in wordpress and I want to redo the site with blocks (for comfort that the untimely updates annoy me and that I have better things to do than check the site every day).
I have read that there is ECWID except that it is limited to 10 products and the company has 30. I know there is woocommerce but I don’t want to make a site with wordpress anymore.
Can we integrate Prestashop into the blocks? Or if you have another free ecommerce solution that handles shopping carts and credit card payments, PayPal, etc. I’m interested.
I know this isn’t the answer you were looking for, but I’ve been in the same situation with small clients for e-commerce, email solutions, photography and more where clients take up hours or even days of your time searching for magic solutions just to save them a few dollars. They always come back later wanting more free stuff.
It’s a pain trying to build an e-commerce site for a client if they are against every small business expense. I wonder if the conversation with the client needs to be more along the lines of explaining that running a business has costs if you want to find effective solutions.
Hi Alpha,
I have been asked the same question for a charity-group. (They want to keep the cost as low as possible; they sell second hand products for very low prices and the benefits go to the people who need it.)
I am thinking about a construction where I want to set up a Woocommerce shop in a Blocs website. For this I am planning to use the Code Widget bric to create an iframe with the WooCommerce shop. I will install the shop on a subdomain, so it will hopefully be fairly easy to maintain.
Hopefully next week I will start setting this up and testing that.
Thank you for your answer @Flashman , yes with small clients it is not easy. But it’s up to me to find a solution adapted to their budget, the constraints, the conditions, etc.
And yes, as you say, sometimes they come back for requests that are still free but I never follow up.
As far as I can see; WooCommerce needs to be installed on a WP website. So my idea was to create a very basic WP site with a Woocommerce shop inside. This website opens in the Code Widget (iframe) in the Blocs website. To prevent a sorts of troubles I wanted to install the WP website on a subdomain for easier maintenance…
I recently discovered reflow! I am definitely going to make this a Custom Bric. I have a pretty full plate right now, but this is one that will be getting some attention soon because it’s part of the larger picture and why I’m so excited about Cadence!
When you get it up and running don’t forget how much fun you can have with Tab Anything Pro. You can make some very sophisticated shopping experiences!
That’s awesome! It’s fine to both take a swipe at it @PeteSharp
But really, jokes aside, I can’t expect people to lay off products because I’m working on one or have it written in my notepad. At some point products are going to overlap, it’s inevitable.
This is my gig now, so I have nearly 10 different items of various complexities in various stages of development. That alone makes it hard to pay attention to what other people are working on.
All good my friend. I was waiting actually for 2 things, I have some other projects on the roll like you, and also a few extras that are still to come with reflow based on what the dev has said.
And you are right, it’s very natural for Brics to overlap, the differences will be very good for the blocs community.
I’m a huge fan of Ecwid - but open to all other options.
What I love about Ecwid is my clients find it easy to take control and I feel confident with its huge user base that it will be supported and around a long long time giving my customers confidence to expand and grow.
