[07-November-2024] EShop version 4.0.0 released

Dear Customers,

Today, I am happy to announce the next release of EShop Shopping Cart extension, version 4.0.0 with the following great new features / improvements:

1. J2Store to EShop Migration.

As you maybe knew, J2Store Team gave an announcement about "Sunsetting J2Store Development" few weeks ago. Some of customers asked us about a way to migrate data from J2Store into EShop. So we decided to make a migration tool to migrate data from J2Store to EShop. So just by one click on "Migrate J2Store" tool, you can migrate the following J2Store data into EShop:

- Manufacturers
- Categories and corresponding images
- Options and Option Values
- Products and corresponding images
- Products downloadable files
- Products Relation
- Products Discount
- Products Options.
- Multilingual data.

2. Process Order Improvements.

So beside of processing statuses "Pending" and "Complete" of orders, since version 4.0.0, we add the features to process "Cancel" and "Failure" orders:

- If customer cancel an order, the system will call the cancel order task to change order status from "Pending" to "Cancel" and send the cancel notification email to admin's store.
- If a payment is failured, then system will change order status from "Pending" to "Failure" and send the failure notification email to admin's store.

These statuses and content of notification email can be configured.

3. Apply tax to Quote Cart.

Since version 4.0.0, we added the feature to apply the tax to products in Quote Cart mode. This is special useful for stores from Europe. So when customers add products to the Quote Cart, if they have tax class, then the tax amount will be applied and showed in Quote.

4. Some other improvements / fixes:

- Add Clear Cart button so customers can clear whole of cart as they want easily.
- Fix the issue of pagination links in filter results.

So please upgrade EShop to the latest version 4.0.0 to have these new features / improvements.

Sincerely, Giang

Great, thank you.
And when will you finally add the repeatedly promised function to modify (edit) the order? When, for example, the supplier cannot deliver one of several items ordered, or when the customer wants to cancel only one of several items in the order. Even J2store had this function. And it's actually the only reason today why we can't deploy your e-shop to some of our clients on the website! I understand that you can't have everything, but the ability to change the items in the order is quite important.

Dear Giang, 

I like to inform you that after installing this version of Eshop, I experienced problems with the registration form in Events Booking.
When clicking Register in a Event Booking event, the website showed a 500 - Internal server error.
I could solve the issue by re-installing Events Booking. Therefore no immidiate support is needed.

Joomla version 5.1.4
Eshop 4.0.0
Events booking 5.0.1

Kind regards
Peter

Dear Peter,

Thank you for your report. Seem there is a small conflict of payment library between new version of EShop with Events Booking. I will check to find the reason and resolve it.

Hello Adela,

Thank you for your post. Yes, the create / edit order at the back-end side is not ready yet, it is really a complex function. I have been still trying to implement it. I will try to make it ready ASAP!

Sincerely, Giang

Thank you for the information.
I understand you and I'm glad for your approach.
Should we provide some of our analysis of this issue and its description in the context of your e-shop? Or any other way to help with this new feature? Alternatively, I can help to test afterwards, etc. Feel free to send me anything to my e-mail. I'd love to join.

Hello Adela,

Thank you for your suggestion. I think once I work on that feature, I will maybe need your helps to test something. I will email you if I need that.

Sincerely, Giang
