Have something to say?
Add more shipping integrations.
It would be nice to have more options that just easyship, even if it was just selecting my usps account etc.
Catalog link on wholesale order page
In the wholesale orders section as a wholesale purchaser, when I click on an order to review it, there’s no quick or easy way for me to jump to the author’s wholesale catalog. There is a link back to my own profile, but there are two or three places the author’s name/order info is listed and none of them link back to the catalog. I’d love to have a quick way to jump back to the catalog so I can view an ordered item’s listing again! Even linking the individual items would be cool :) Thanks for considering!
Add link to shipping setup on the shipping tab.
If I click the shipping tab, there should be an option to take me to the shipping setup instead of just showing me dispatch status. Having to hunt down where to adjust shipping settings every time is really annoying, and also changes whenever you make updates to the site.
Open cart feature
The ability for readers to see what they had in an open cart if they haven't purchased from an event before the form has closed
Could integration with ChitChats be an option for shipping?
As a Canadian author, EasyShip doesn’t have the best prices for shipping, but ChitChats is quite a lot cheaper. Wondering if there would be an integration with them in the future
Why are MM and FF listed as tropes?
Why are various LGBTQ+ pairings included under “tropes,” but not MF? Not only does that make MF the “standard” pairing for a romance, it means that anyone writing a non-MF pairing has to burn one of five trope slots, while MF authors get all five for actual tropes. It’s wildly heteronormative. Please fix it.
Export CSV of unshipped orders
I would love to be able to export a CSV of names/addresses/products for unshipped orders to make it easier to enter data into my courier!
Add international tax for direct international sales
Adding taxes for direct sales at point of sales means the reader has a better experience and knows upfront exactly what the entire cost will be for their purchase (espeicall for UK). Shipping overseas can cahnge in terms of costs and taxes - it would be great for the reader to know their purchase is paid for and arriving safely.
Open Cart Discount
The ability to send a discount to open carts to entice them to check out. (Especially open carts that have sat for a while and been forgotten about)
Wholesale fulfillment
On wholesale orders it would be helpful to track fulfillment by item and generate packing slips.
bundle graphic
Please allow us to set the primary graphic for a bundle using a picture we upload instead of the default combined graphic the system creates. Thank you!
filtering
it would be great if we can filter orders that are fufilled/shipped vs unfufilled. This is making it very difficult to sort what orders i’ve got left to send out as i can’t easily see what is left to do since they’re not always sent in order
Standard pre-built shipping profiles for books
Would be great if you could set up some standardized shipping profiles for books. For example, we know books come in various sizes (4×6, 5×8 etc). If you could make it so we just have to input paperback vs hardcover, then the spine depth to calculate average weight for the size, that would be super helpful. (Most printers, especially for self-publishing, use the same type of paper & cardstock for covers, so I should think using an average weight would be fine for 90% of your clientele.) It would also be nice if your categories of products were linked to the customs codes automatically instead of having to look them up each time we set up a new item. Lastly, it would be nice if there was an option to just put the city & state to get a shipping estimate, instead of an exact address. Half of my shipping comes from my home address, the other half is drop-shipped directly from the printing facility, and I don’t have their exact address to do any kind of shipping integration with.
Support square cover images in wholesale
I write children’s books, most of which have square covers. They get cropped to portrait in my wholesale listing and look pretty awul that way.
Allows authors to choose which books show on their preview
I am an author, but I was just on Beventi using my reader profile, browsing the list of authors with pre-order forms for an event I’ll be attending. When my name came up, the books shown on the preview were simply what I’d uploaded to my products list most recently and are probably my least popular/most obscure items. I would love to be able to customize what readers see there so that my most popular books show, or books of my choosing, not just what I uploaded the most recently. Thank you!
Manually sort authors on event page, or have a "highlight" feature
As an event host, it’d be really useful to be able to highlight or pin specific vendors/authors to the top of our event page. For example our on site bookseller.
Add-ons for vendor bookings eg. Power, extra tables etc
The ability to add ‘add ons’ for vendor and author bookings would be great. We charge a little extra for stall holders who require power, so for the vendors to be able to add that on themselves would be great and help us keep everything within Beventi.
Influencer Section
You already have a Vendors, Authors and Narrators for the event manager to list, but is it possible to add an Influences tab as well? Many of us have event specific influencer we would like to highlight as well.
Reports by product
Can there be a report feature that lets us see how many books have been sold overall and the total royalties, not just by an event, but overall? This would help with seeing how much we’re making by book/series.
