They need to improve the blog system (apparently some major changes are coming soon). Also faster activation on support requests would be great, i think now that they are moving to just partner/reseller mode with adobe this will improve as they wont be inundated with complete novice requests.

My clients seem very happy that they can keep all their customers interactions in the one place.

Yes you pay for the service but for me not having to worry about issues when upgrading software & servers is a large benefit. If they keep upgrading the system i will be happy and i presume Adobe’s input will be of great benefit.

Sometimes we don’t get ANY response (all but a courteous autoresponder!).

They are worth leaving alone. Probably going to interspire or shopify.

I agree that magento is waay too overwhelming when it comes to features and changes to its core features in the filesystem.

To display your catalogs in alphabetical order, simply go to your online shop’s main layout (More Customization Options->Online Shop layouts) and change:

{tag_cataloguelist,4}

to

{tag_cataloguelist,4,,,alphabetical}

Hope that helps.

They’re really selling it, but their not really doing a 100% job for their customers. For instance, the latest problem we’ve been having is there is no sort by alpha/price module available for online catalogs, and when you look at the Goodbarry support forums (which are lacking to say the least) their response is to simply to say their system can’t perform that function, which is no real response to the problem.

For us, there have been many integral issues with Goodbarry like this that have caused problems. These issues, need to be fixed before Goodbarry can really be considered because they cost their users and their respective small businesses time and money.

Magento because of the huge learning curve and overwhelming complexity. Call me stupid but Magento is too big for most of us to manage and it actually doesn’t hide behind the fact that it is built as an enterprise solution, not a simple ecommerce solution.

Shopify lost me at it’s price, I don’t feel I need to pay them any percentage of my sales. You may say only 1 or 2 percent of your sale is insignificant. However, there are enough fee’s being taken out by credit card processors and banks that I certainly don’t need another one from my site host.

I haven’t tried GoodBarry yet but after all my research, they’re the one I’m going to be trying next.

This week I was lucky enough to be invited to a dinner that was also attended by some Sydneysiders making a real go of the web 2.0 thing.
