Raw Blame History

=head1 WebGUI 7.5+ Commerce System Needs and Wants
We need a massive overhaul of the commerce system, not just for the
sake of it, but because of the current system's inflexibility. The new
system must support everything the current system supports, plus
resolve these limitations.
=head2 Must Haves
The following items must be introduced to the commerce system in order
to fix fundamental flaws:
=over
=item Flexible Prices
Currently because price is attached to the base object every product
must have a price and there is no way to override it. The problem with
this is that some configurable products have a variable price, and
other products (like donations and auctions) you want the user to be
able to type in a price. Therefore the new system needs to allow for
variable price. This is a limitation of the current shopping cart and
the current base product.
=item Item Callbacks
There must be a callback system after checkout. Right now there's no
way to trigger custom functionality in custom products after purchase.
So if you want a workflow to kick off after someone has purchased
something to give them a bunch of privileges, send an email, etc you
couldn't do it. Or if your product needed to mark something as out of
stock, that's not possible either.
=item Web Based Payment Gateways
There's currently no way to pass off the checkout process to a
third-party web site such as PayPal, 2checkout, or Google Checkout. The
system right now is designed to work with payment gateways that have
behind the scenes APIs.
=item Vendor Id
If you want two different vendors to sell from the same site (like
Amazon does) you have a problem because currently WebGUI treats
everything as one site one store. Therefore we need a vendor id
attached to each product so we can keep track of who sold what. This
might even be used by a single vendor to keep track of sales by
department.
=item Independent Skus
Not all products have SKUs, but the current system requires a sku. For
example, does a donation have a SKU? It may or may not. Obviously every
product has to have a unique id to track it behind the scenes, but
whether or not a store owner cares about this number is largely
dependent upon the type of thing being purchased or sold.
=item Merge Ops And Assets
Currently we have the product asset, the product macro, and the product
manager in admin console. This needs to be brought down to a single
item, and that item needs to be an asset which is easily placable on
the site by people familiar with WebGUI. This is not to say that the
base product class should be an asset. Maybe it should, maybe it
shouldn't, but the three mechanisms we have now must be merged. This
will go a long way toward ease of use.
And since the current product system will become a product asset, the
subscription system should become a subscription asset.
=item Cart Macro
We need a macro or other mechanism to display what's in the user's
cart. This also means we need a good API for querying this information
quickly and easily.
=item Plugins as Drivers
All plugins for shipping, payment, tax, etc should be built like
drivers, so that the API remains consistent for all of them, and a
driver is loaded behind the scenes for the appropriate plugin based
upon rules or users choice.
=item Pretty Checkout
The checkout process must be streamlined, easy to use, and pretty.
Right now it's none of those things.
=item Unique Items
We need to be able to handle unique items in the cart. For example,
with the Event Manager, someone buys a badge to an event, that badge is
unique to them and can't possibly have a quantity of anything greater
than one. However, the current cart allows for more than one of it.
=back
=head2 Niceties
The following items would make the commerce system better, but can be
added at a later date if need be:
=over
=item Aisles
An aisle is an asset container for products. It would display
all of it's children as well as any product that fit within a
particular keyword group using the WebGUI keywords system. Aisles
should also have a nifty import/export mechanism to make uploading
products to the system easier.
=item Affiliates
Affiliate tracking system. We need a way to track who's sending us
sales, so that we can automatically commission them. Note that the
automatic commissioning is a big part of this. Just tracking stuff
isn't good enough as it creates a lot of manual labor for writing out
checks at the end of the month. It may be that we just need to hook in
with some third party affiliate programs rather than build our own.
=item Discounts
Discounts, coupons, sales, and gift certificates. These may all be
separate items, but the goal is virtually the same, we need mechanisms
to give discounts based upon the group a user is in, sale period,
coupons, discount codes, gift certificates, etc.
=item Ad Manager Tie In
Tie the ad management system in with commerce so that people can buy
ads on a site without human intervention.
=item Saved Carts
Allow for saved shopping carts, so that users can come back to a cart
later. This will most likely mean that the user has to create an
account to attach their cart to.
=back
=head2 Pipe Dream
The following items are pie in the sky that we should build at some
point, but definitely won't make it into WebGUI in the 7.5 or 7.6 time
frames unless someone funds them:
=over
=item Auction System.
We're not talking ebay here, but a way to conduct
simple auctions would still be nice.
=item Product configurator.
If you're buying something complex, you're
probably going to have lots of options to switch. Therefore we need a
product configurator system. Dell's web site for buying computers is a
great example of a configurator.
=back
=head1 Coupon
Coupons (sometimes called promotional codes) are a way to apply
discounts to a purchase. Only one coupon per purchase though because we
don't want to have to deal with coupon magnification effects.
