I’m excited to announce our latest feature, which will be useful for both eager shoppers and for store owners looking for some free marketing. Link sharing lets people post products from any Flying Cart store on their Facebook, MySpace, StumbleUpon, and Twitter accounts. Once a product is posted, it is seen by all of the person’s friends. Then the friends click the link to come visit the store. It’s a fun way to shop and a simple but very powerful marketing tool.
Look for the link sharing icons on product pages just below the “Add To Cart” button.
How does it work? For example, if I find a product I like such as the Tokidoki Kaniza from Immortal Beloved Toys, I can click on the Facebook icon (third from the left) to show all my Facebook friends. A screen pops up with the product information and I can add a comment. Then I click “Post” and I am done.
Link sharing can be turned off on the Store > Settings page when logged in.
We are very excited to show off what we have been working on for the last month. A lot of love and elbow grease went into this.
Google Checkout is Here!
You asked for it, and we now bring you an alternative to PayPal. Process credit card payments using your Google account. Solid and reliable. Yippee! Go to your Store > Settings tab to set this up.
Why we love Google Checkout:
Using Google Checkout with Flying Cart is easy. Here are our step by step instructions.
Orders Nearly Manage Themselves
Well not quite, but close. Orders now have a nice little three-step process with matching icons:
That’s Not All
Expanded Options for Charging Tax
You know what they say about death and taxes. Yep, inevitable.
In most states you only have to charge the customers in your state. Now you can easily apply a percentage to the total for customers in your state.
Simplified Shipping Page
Our old shipping page was a little confusing so we changed it around to be more straightforward. ‘Nuf said.
