Market ext. - little things that need to be polished or fixed

[Darth-Coin]

I start testing the new Market extension. First on demo instance, just to see how is going.
I start this testing shop:
https://legend.lnbits.com/market/stalls/Qmwe29fFGByTGXRarHLFqt
Once will be finished I would write an extensive user guide about it so new users can learn how to use it.

The extension is really cool and have great potential and use cases.
I didn't find (yet) bugs or real issues, just little things that I think would need more polish.

1. When you create a new product, it takes some time until you can edit it. Maybe was just a temporary glitch (I see legends srv quite slow lately).
2. Needs more instructions when you create a free shipping product. Or at least to be able to select in the product creation / edit form the shipping method. I end up having a free digital product that charged a fee for delivery. Users always do this kind of mistakes, we should limit them to make them by intuitive forms. Yes, in end I went and create a new shipping zone with 0 sats and edit the product to use that one.
   If I want to have multiple products in the same stall, but with different shipping fees, I should be able to select the shipping method in the product page not in the stall page.
3. Typo in confirmation order, it should be "You'll" with double ll.
   
4. Button in confirmation is not working, also messaging is not yet activated I think.
5. Process for digital products inconsistent / message-part unclear. Customer never received any digital item or link from where to download it. I think this needs more fields to be added in the shop part. Or at least to inform separately the customer what is the shipping cost, in the order page.
6. If email didnt arrive access must be given to order somehow anyway. Maybe using the private/public keys/order number?
7. Taxes (for tax lovers, I am not), are not displayed, calculated. Shipping has special taxes or is tax exempt often as well. No vat if sale goes to other country so stall needs a defined country for itself if shipping products and not only digital.
8. [FEATURE REQUEST] Maybe could be linked to the Invoice extension? So if a customer want an invoice for those products, can be generated and send to the invoice ext with all the items, VAT, etc... for accounting purposes.
9. In the wallet designated to the market, will be better if the description will be like "market name - order no payment" so manager can identify easily each payment. Otherwise should have to use a different wallet for each stall.
   

Will update here, if I will find more things. Still testing.

Here is some more feedback:

• I'd appreciate a notification when order has arrived (customer support is the key to a successful online business, so dealing with orders quickly is quite important)
• it seems that when I create an order, I am not able to edit it via the edit button, but I have to select it first and then click the +Product button (as if I am adding a new product, but I am just editing)
• webp image support missing
• it is very hard to know what dimensions should the product image have, because it changes based on screen resolution, so on some screen size, it will look nice on another you will have an image cut off, so it would be nice if the image scaled with the screen resolution changes or allow for a few different dimension uploads
• when I look at the list of orders, I see a green icon there (chat) with a red dot - when I click the order, the red dot disappears (as expected), but it also disappears from all the other orders which have a chat
• The red dot indicates also orders which have no chat history, so I assume those orders should not have a red dot
• the order list should be ordered in the way the orders come in (or at least allow us to order it ourselves)
• New orders could have some visual markings
• each shop probably should have some info about the seller or about the terms and conditions of the sale etc. (or at least the option to add it)
• perhaps allow for providing a link to an actual online shop (if this marketplace is only an extension of the already existing fiat shop)
• more pictures per product?
• header image - to make the shop look nicer
• product variants (ex: t-shirt size - M, L, XL)
• allow for migration of the marketplace to other user
• allow for csv import of products
• reorder products in the stall
• duplicate products, so you don't have to recreate products which have similar properties
