Too expensive. No guest-checkout.
If you have Agency membership for templates, you have also entrance to all templates and sppb pro, even for unlimited domains. If you only need for 1 domain an easy store license, you don't need the templates and extensions.
Also a price raise of 25% (without any notice to the customers!!)) for the Agency subscription for templates/sppb pro is pretty ridiculous. (from $299 to $399).
I don't understand, a few months ago, you mentioned that these features would be included in SP Page Builder. Please, let's avoid creating false expectations and misinformation.
It looks really really good!
I am from Sweden and probably need other checkouts later, and as i understand it is now 599 for Agency license. I have been member on Agency level for many years and i do not agree 100%% with the others, 599 is not that much for unlimited access i think. That is payed back with the first built shop i think otherwise you are doing something wrong.
Then you are going from $299 to $599 wich is a increase in price from +200%. For that $300 you get a shopping-cart solution for multiple websites. Knowing JoomShaper, the shopping-cart will still have many bugs and lacks more or less functionalities that other (cheaper) shopping-carts for Joomla have.
Another thing is that they increase the price of the "regular" Agency subscription with 25% (from $299 to $399) without informing the customers.
Yes, at least that's how I feel, you can feel however you want. But I still think 599 a year is cheap considering how much I use these products.
It sounds like you think it's expensive and useless, so what are you doing here? There are many other solutions that are cheaper as you say.
I have no interest whatsoever in entering into a discussion about this. So this is my only answer to you. I wish you all the best in the future with your business. Many hugs from me.
I have the same... I have acvite developer account since 07 November 2016 and i'm so disappointed !!! It looks like this is the first time I won't renew my subscription. You promised something different... Besides, why did the package for the agency increase from $299 to $399 without any information? $200 for the ability to use the store itself when there are so many other solutions? As an agency, I say no!
I would like to respectfully suggest that it might be premature to make a definitive decision without first experiencing EasyStore for yourself. Should you have an active subscription with us, you have the opportunity to download the Allura template and immerse yourself in the process of developing an eCommerce website firsthand.
Your experience with EasyStore could provide valuable insights and inform your decision-making process. We encourage you to explore the possibilities before reaching a conclusion.
I like what I see, it's a shame I can't try it to give my opinion and evaluate if it is a suitable product for my clients. EasyStore supports multi language? Do you have in your roadmap to offer the Redsys payment method?
If you currently possess an active subscription with us, we invite you to take advantage of the opportunity to experience EasyStore firsthand. Simply download the Allura template quickstart pack and proceed with the installation. Once completed, you will have access to the brand-new template, complete with EasyStore integration.
We welcome you to explore EasyStore thoroughly and share your valuable feedback with us. Your insights and input are highly appreciated as we continue to refine and enhance our offerings.
@Andreas @Muntasir Sakib, Perfect. I had gone directly to download the extension and it won't let me. Now I have downloaded the template and I am going to try it. Thank you
Catalog mode? Is it possible to create a Products catalog/directory without any prices. No shopping cart. Maybe the wishlist functionality is still interesting: Visiters might collect products and request additional details or get personal offers by mail.
It can be done easily. Using SP Page Builder Pro, you can remove the Add to cart button and use it as catalog. The customization is beyond imagination and that's why brought deeper integration with SP Page Builder. I hope this answered your previous comment as well.
It can be done, but you have to do it on every column that you created. There is no global option in the shop-backend where you can set it in just one place.
Thanks Kashwar & swemmel,
I just can judge it from the Joomshaper product page and the template demo... so it is quite hard to get a complete picture.
It is still unclear if EasyShop requires PageBuilder Pro? Or is it also a standalone extensions with the usual menuitems and modules?
SPPB integration: Is this an integration like with J! Articles? So, I would have to design each and every single product? No general template for a product, or an entire category?
ALLURA DEMO – some things I have noticed...
- FILTER
on small screens should be collapsable. Or in an off-canvas panel like the shopping cart. Otherwise, people would have to scroll all day long. Pretty unusable on a phone.
- SHOPPING CART
After putting an item into the shopping cart, it opens the cart immediately. It would be nice to have an option to just get a notice/message and stay on the shop page. Alternative, a visual button in the shopping cart that says "keep on shopping...". Currently there is only a small close x icon in the upper right corner. Not speakable enough for an average user.
- WISHLIST
I could not see a wishlist functionality in the demo. Is it only for registered users?
@Isamu, There will be more PHP 8.x compatible eCommerce templates in the coming days. Even the existing templates will get the required updates soon. Thanks for your concern.
A first quick testrun on the EasyShop / Allure-template give me a first impression. As I was afraid of the product is not actually finalized and lacks stuff that other shops have. Though I love the integration with PageBuilder and the pretty clear UI of the Shops backend. Here are my first remarks/bugs that I found. If I have more time I will do more testing for you guys:
- No Guest checkout, people are forced to make an account
- When adding a product to wishlist I get the error "JLIB_JS_AJAX_ERROR_OTHER"
- No compare products
- No email template(s)
- No option for "Inform me when product is in stock"
- When edit a order in the backend, there is no back-button. When you leave the screen with cancel the order is still checked-in by the administrator
- Tracking inventory does not work well.
- Not at the level of Variants (When customer buys more then 1 variant only the stock of 1 of the sold products is modified)
- Not at the Product level (When have underlaying variants, the main inventory of the product is not modified when 1 or more variants are sold)
- No "Continue Shopping" in cart module (after adding products to cart)
- Checkout page on mobile needs some adjustment (see picture)
- After checkout it would be nice to have a summary of your order instead of just the line "Thanks for your purchase"
- After checkout and press back-button in browser you get an error: "0 Invalid checkout information. You may come early or not in a proper way."
- Customer Profile shows standard Joomla profile with settings like Editor, Frontend Language, etc etc". A customer is not interested in this, he/she 99 out of 100 times does not even know the meaning of these settings. Better hide this stuff for shop-visitors/shop-customers.
- When adding more product to cart then there are in stock you just get a popup with the message "training.pswemmelaar.nl meldt het volgende. You cannot add more Drop Shoulder Top (XS | Taupe) to the cart.". This happens for example when there is 1 product in stock and people ad 2 or more to the cart. I think it is better to prevent the possibility to add more items then there are in stock.
- The same popup appears when there is 1 item in stock and you add that item to the cart and then go back to the article. The article still shows "in stock" but when you add the article again to the cart the popup appears.
- No Captcha/reCaptcha at adding reviews. A lot of spam will appear.
- There is no option to set if the prices of the products are shown included or excluded taxes. Now I got the surprise that during checkout 21% VAT was added to the price. A lot of shops show the price on the website including taxes and on the checkout page you will see the price split in price of product + price of taxes. (For example, price of a product in the product listing is €121,00, but on the checkout page the price of the product is €100,00 and taxes are €21,00)
We would like to express our gratitude for your comprehensive feedback and suggestions aimed at enhancing EasyStore in the future. Your insights are greatly appreciated. Additionally, we have taken note of the forum post containing your recommendations.
We will bring the suggestions you made to the table and thoroughly review and consider every feature request and issue.
I'm sorry for your opinion, but once again you are not listening to your customers. It was similar when you removed Page Builder 4 backend edit from SP. The current pricing plan for EasyShop is unacceptable and I think long-time customers will not renew their subscription.
Have you tried EasyStore yet? If so, how's your experience so far?
We are taking care of every customer's requirements and will introduce any and every feature that is needed to make EasyStore better in the coming days. What exactly are you referring to by saying 'not listening to your customers' if you wouldn't mind me asking?
Thank you for your suggestion. We might take that into consideration.
We know, it's necessary for the German users and users from the EU to showcase the tax amount in the product list page, are you from any of these places?
I have a few questions:
1. If I am already subscribed to unlimited SP Page Builder installations, and EasyStore includes the same, do I still have to pay the $599 fee - it seems a bit hefty.
2. Is EasyStore compatible with payment platforms such as Payfast or Mobipaid? We prefer not to use PayPal due to their outrageous fees and poor service.
3. Do you have anyone else in South Africa using this product?
Having read the comments above, I am hesitant to commit myself to this product at this stage.
Thanks for your interest @Barnard. As you said you already have an active Agency subscription with us, why don't you just download the Allura template and give EasyStore a try before coming to a conclusion on whether you should go for EasyStore or not? Let's talk about your queries -
1. If you have an active Agency subscription with us, you can upgrade to the EasyStore Agency plan anytime. You can upgrade from your dashboard and the adjusted price that you need to pay will be shown immediately.
2. We have Stripe, Paddle, and COD (Cash On Delivery) integrated with EasyStore now. We will surely introduce more payment systems in the coming days. Most importantly, we will share the developer documentation so that anyone can integrate his desired payment systems easily. However, thanks for sharing your interest in Payfast and Mobipaid.
3. We have clients based in South Africa who are currently exploring EasyStore.
Do you have any more questions in your mind? Feel free to reach out.
The new extension is amazing and certainly many improvements are necessary for its improvement. I don't know how many subscriptions Joomshaper has in Brazil, but to enter these e-commerce platforms, which is already very competitive (considering too a disadvantage for the player who is from outside because of the very high Dollar), the payment method functions and delivery must be explored much more so that the extension has a relative sales success. Anyway, congratulations on the newest addition to the Jooshaper family.

There is no single purchase of EasyShop? I don't need ALL TEMPLATES access.
SP PageBuilder PRO is required or is it an optional design tool?
Thanks

Allure looks pretty sleek, BTW ;)
That is only after the other templates are up to date with PHP 8.x.
I expect EasyStore to do that when the other templates are up to date.
I will say it again.
Please quickly bring the other templates up to date with the latest PHP 8.x.
