We just launched our first responsive e-commerce site on TeaCommerce and on the whole had a pretty good experience :-) Two things we couldn't find an answer for:
1 - We used the starter site to work from - but couldn't remove cart steps that weren't applicable - is that possible?
2 - Is it possible to allow customers to print copies of invoices for past purchases (or at least re-send the invoice)? Our new site is a digital product store - so would be nice to allow them to see the original invoice alongside the product they bought....
1. You could remove all card steps if you wanted. Each cart step is just a normal page that either show some information about the cart and/or in one way or the other lets the customer add information to the order. To leave out a certain step just change the links on the previous step to point to the step you want.
The cart flow can be customized 100%. The flow in the Tea Commerce Starter Kit is just a basic one that will work in most e-commerce solutions.
2. Yes it is, and it's actually pretty easy. You can access all the orders with the xslt library method "GetFinalizedOrdersXml" and all orders belonging to a specific umbraco member with the method "GetFinalizedOrdersXmlForMember". After that all you need to do is display the orders. That is standard Umbraco stuff.
The Tea Commerce xslt library contains lots of handy methods for getting data from Tea Commerce.
Remove cart step and customer printable invoice
Hey,
We just launched our first responsive e-commerce site on TeaCommerce and on the whole had a pretty good experience :-) Two things we couldn't find an answer for:

2 - Is it possible to allow customers to print copies of invoices for past purchases (or at least re-send the invoice)? Our new site is a digital product store - so would be nice to allow them to see the original invoice alongside the product they bought....
Thanks!
