Not one, not all, but a selection– the shopping cart

Now available with the ShalomCloud shopping cart — grouping of items.

Until now, there were two styles of links or buttons that you could put onto your web site, or into email. You could provide a link to all available items; or you could provide a link to a single item.

We now offer the ability to create group codes, and then to assign items to a group code. For example, you might have several items related to a forthcoming Shabbat dinner. Adult member, child member, Adult non-member, child non-member. Or, perhaps, adult chicken, adult vegetarian option, child chicken, child vegetarian option. You can now create a group, call it Shabbat, and attach that group to all of those variations.

When you create a group, the “Show” screen provides the link that will display all items in the group, and no others.

Now Available — Add/Change/Delete Purchase History

Until this change, the ShalomCloud shopping cart purchase history relied solely on purchases made online. You had no way to change those records. So, if someone accidentally signed up twice, or signed up and later informed you that they could not attend, you had no way to update that data. Your record counts would be off, and the funds collected (or to be collected), would be off.

Another situation: if someone wanted to make a purchase, or register for an event, but would prefer not to use the online shopping cart, you had no way to indicate that. Perhaps they mailed in a check for a Shabbat dinner, for example, and you wanted to add that reservation to the purchase history.

This change allows you to accommodate those situations. You can delete a purchase; and you can manually insert a purchase.

One major caveat, though — any financial ramifications would have to be handled separately, via the normal financial transaction screens.

Here’s a video that demonstrates some basic use cases.
