Improvements For European Union In Cs-Cart 4.15.1

This appears to be incomplete. We have had this type of addon for many years.

I just did a quick poke on this because our old addon appears to cause some conflicts.

The unit price should also be shown:

  • In the Store Cart
  • In Admin Order Entry
  • In Invoice
  • In Packing Slip

Maybe I am missing something. Will the implementation of this CSC addon be completed?

Thanks

Thanks, I’ve listed that as something that we could add in one of the future versions.

As for why it wasn’t there at the start: as far as I understand, the main point of this price-per-unit indication is to help customers choose between similar products. The choice usually happens on the product page or product list (or between sites), where customers compare the offers and what they include.

P.S. Could you tell me how you use that info in the admin panel? We’d rather keep the interface simpler (and simplify it further eventually), so I’m trying to make sure that order info in the admin panel isn’t cluttered with info.

This really is so customers know what they are buying. Not so much to compare. The cost per ounce or similar calculations are really not something that is all that useful for much. Its nice to see but price per unit really tells the customer what they are getting more clearly. Pack of 8, Roll of 500’, Set, Pair Etc.

We have to assume admin order entry personnel are simple workers and may not know the products. Having price per unit lets them know more about what they are selling and how it might be inventoried.

Carry this over to a packing list and it tells the warehouse what they are pulling to pack.

It really is a confirmation of what the product is. Admin, Shipping Dept, Customers etc. all really should be provide this info IMO.

IMO the price per unit indication is there so that customers can see a product costing 10 euro and contains 100ml is cheaper than a product costing 7 euro and containing 5 ml. It is so that the customer can make a fair choice.

I personally do not think it is needed on the invoice, packing slip, admin order entry and store cart at all. If you enter a store in Germany which has the strictest rules, the price per unit is also only shown when viewing a product - the point where you make the choice.

This is how we have implemented it at least (using an add-on) and it works perfectly. Admin:

3e62b818-92f2-4a5f-8fe5-ed6266625224

and under options we can also turn this on (in case of different prices and/or sizes per option).

It shows like this (as well as under list / grid view) on storefront:

I don’t see any need for our warehouse to need this data. They should only use the unique product codes, in most cases the barcode / EAN number. I hope this helps.

Hi ,

Do you know how to disable the non essential cookies by default in 4.15.1 ?

The functional and performance cookies are enabled by default in the GDPR module .

Thanks

If you mean default value on addon installation, you should edit the following file

app/addons/gdpr/addon.xml

Hi

Not sure if this answers it. I want to keep explicit mode and do the following.

What I mean is:
I want to select functional and performance cookies to off by default. At present the user has to select these to off .

I can’t see an option in the backend to do this .

Thanks

Thank you for the clarification. In this case changes in the GDPR configuration are required

app/addons/gdpr/schemas/gdpr/klaro_config.php

@ecomlabs He provided the correct solution, which I can only slightly clarify. In the mentioned schema you need to change the following line:

'default'          => true,

to this one:

'default'          => false,

And it will be the best approach to make these changes via separate add-on. Please check the following article for the details:
