I wanted to mention that there are some new tools and utilities over at dashCommerce.com. There is the new YocuTeem Per Order Shipping Charge provider written by forum member YocuTeem. I know he’s got a bunch of other stuff cooking, so keep your eye on YocuTeem.
YocuTeem Per Order Shipping Charge Provider
This shipping provider, brought to you by dashCommerce forum member YocuTeem, extends the shipping provider model of dashCommerce by allowing your dashCommerce website to charge a flat rate per order for shipping. This shipping provider allows you to setup many different shipping options and charge one flat rate for shipping for your orders. The end user selects the shipping option during checkout. For example, the following two shipping options are setup by default when you install this shipping provider: USPS Domestic ($5.00) and USPS International ($5.00).
The shipping provider is easily configured via the Shipping Providers section of the dashCommerce admin website.
Also, there is a new category of products called Utilities. It is here that you will find the Jumpin Pages Export Tool.
Jumpin Pages Export Tools
This utility brought to you by Jumpin Pages LLC, allows you to export your inventory into Microsoft Excel exports for eBay File Exchange, Google Base (gBase), Shopping.com and Yahoo Shopping formats.
You will be able to take the Google Base and Shopping.com files and immediately turn around and upload them into their systems. The eBay and Yahoo files will need minor additional information, but will quickly get you listed. There are links to the above respective provider’s signup pages for quick reference.
Also included are the reference files for each of the above exports so that you can add other columns that may not be as common.
This export utility can be installed in about 15 minutes by following the detailed installation instructions that are included in the package.
This is probably the most exciting part of running dashCommerce for me. I get to watch people take dashCommerce and build on top of it, beside it, and in the process, make the product better by offering very reasonably priced functionality. Good stuff!
