OpenCart 1.5.2.2

Labels: OpenCart

OpenCart (the webshop) version 1.5.2.2 - can this be?

Of course .. but the latest official release is 1.5.2.1!

Well correct, but the funny versioning and patching of this software goes the next round. Reading here and here the honored webshop owner may install first 1.5.2.1, then get the recommended update (inofficial release 990), install this, make afterwards the database update (yes!!) and hope that all went correct.

Strange and can be buggy - so we have made one (1) package of both. Installable at once - voila!

Beside this, we have published the new language package for German - some new language variables are added.

As a look into the future, the new version (wtf the number ever will be ..) a few new functions are added, for example customers can state at the registration and/or checkout process their company number - as well their VAT number.

Modul Legal

Labels: OpenCartModuleLegal

Legal - oder wie mache ich meinen Webshop rechtssicher?

Gleich vorweg, Rechtssicherheit können wir keine zu 100% geben. Aber was wir können ist in Form eines Moduls für OpenCart dem Shopbesitzer ein Werkzeug in die Hand geben mit dem er seinen Shop dafür vorbereiten kann.

Was ist nun dieses Modul bzw. was kann es?

Anstatt wie bisher mühsam (und leider - programmtechnisch gesprochen - sehr oft sehr fehlerhaft) den Quellcode mit allem Möglichen zu erweiteren und hoffen dass es funktioniert, kann mit diesem Modul alles über eine bequeme Oberfläche verwaltet werden.

Installation ist sehr einfach: Paket downladen, entpacken und auf den Server (in die Shopverwaltung) übertragen.

 

Tickets

Labels: Ticket

Whether you are developing, selling goods, offering services, at one time you may have various customers.

And of course you want to offer a high quality level for your services. The more customers you have, the more requests will come.

At the beginning you may work with emails. Later you may have some internal system to follow all of these requests.

But once, this is not enough - you loose too much time to check the state of each request.

This is the time where you should use a ticket system.

Webbased to open new and be able to get answers / follow by email.

The last weeks we had as well the demand for such a system as some requests for.

 

Abmahnungen mit OpenCart

Labels: OpenCartLegalOCIE

F: Kann ich einen Webshop mit der Originalsoftware von OpenCart betreiben ohne dass ich es riskiere Abmahnungen zu erhalten?

A: Einfache Antwort: solange der Webshop nicht von einer Firma mit Firmensitz in Europa betrieben wird, ja.

Dazu muss folgendes erklärt werden: der Entwickler von OpenCart sitzt in Hongkong - und das ist bekanntlich etwas weiter weg. Auf europäische Gesetze nimmt er trotz wiederholter Diskussion wenig Rücksicht. Wird jetzt OpenCart wie es original angeboten ist installiert, fehlen wichtige Punkte welche unweigerlich zu einer Abmahnung führen können.

Im Einzelnen sind es die folgenden Punkte welche der aktuellen Gesetzgebung (sowohl auf europäischer als auch jeweiliger Landesebene) widersprechen:

  • Impressumspflicht
  • Widerruf
  • IP-Adresse
  • Telefonnummer

Shipping module MultiZone

Labels: OpenCartModuleShipping

Imagine you have a webshop und you deliver goods into several countries. But you have different shipping rates for each of these countries. Addionally you want to offer a free delivery if the subtotal of the basket is higher than the value of x.

In addition all these shipping costs should be calculated based on the weight, or the amount of items, or the subtotal.

Finally several postcodes are not qualified for these rates. Or a specific IP-address is not. Or this rate should be valid for a specific IP-address or postcode (or range of them) only.

And - maybe - you have a rate which is valid for all countries and should be added only if the subtotal is less than the value x.

But - what if these shipping costs shall be valid for a specific customer group only?

Well, this is only a scenario, but it could happen.

So what will you do - or better to ask: what can you do?

To simplify the answer: not very much.

Why?

Also simple this answer: because OpenCart has not the flexibility for all these possibilities. It has some standard modules, there are some extensions on the market - but with all the result will be confusing your customers!

Because at the end your customer will see several options he has to choose from - you may be lucky if he has chosen the correct one.

The come to an end - we have the solution: MultiZone.
