Features never added. Why should we Renew?

-- HikaShop version -- : 4.6.1
-- PHP version -- : 7.4
-- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : No error a serious inquiry....

This is more of a general question of why should I renew? I mean we have been with you for almost 10 years, yet the features that ourselves and many others ask for like; auto generated shipping labels, other payment methods, estimate and front end invoicing along with many others have never been addressed or added. We can go to virtuemart, other components or even shopify, wix or wordpress to get a full functional ecommerce site with the features listed above. We have hikashop business, market and almost all versions of it. Yet after almost 10 years we still don't have any of those features added. So why should i renew? Instead of just using that money to re-haul our website?

They also try to get money from the plugins created for hikashop, probably for hikashop they don't generate so much income that they can rely only on this.
But you will have a lot much more limitations with some of your options, talking about shopify especially.
VirtueMart has always been behind hikashop in terms of available options and customizations, same with woocommerce.
+ You are joomla guy, not wp guy )

No we mean the plugin in hikashop for USPS, UPS and Fedex shipping along with others. the integrated api settings should work but you have to literally edit .css hikashop files to get it to run the test enviroment label to get approved for their api then edit it back to get it to work. Hikashop should add a drop down for each shipping plugin for test and non test environments with the correct urls attached. Allowing users to integrate directly with each shipping companies api. Its not hard.

Also the invoice manager is old, hasn't been updated in years and broken.

How are you not aware of these issues? I've reported them several times, and even emailed you regarding this and get the same answer. Hire a developer or purchase a plugin. These issues need to be resolved we've been with Hika for almost 10 years.

The shipping issue has been reported by over 2 dozen users in your forum area but are archived with the response get a dev....

www.hikashop.com/forum/4-how-to/84253-fe...est-environment.html

This is how we had to feed the test url into fedex

www.hikashop.com/forum/shipping-methods/...-fedex-test-url.html .

There is issues with all the shipping methods and integrating their API's because Hikashop hasn't been updated nor addressed these issues in almost 10 years.

Other issues:

Doesn't properly sync to google products

No other payment integrations added since 2020, IE Square, Stripe and etc.

Reports were way better In hikashop 3, now we can't customize reports, charts or etc on the dashboard.

There are more but We need the primary issues rectified. We have to literally eat cost on shipping sometimes because you can't get your act together.

Either way its causing issues, their development needs to address things that are supposed to be included with this.

Also when will the new version be out?

I'm pretty sure they have a lot more other things to fix for j4, not just something that is old but functional...

In short they need to get their act together, hikashop isn't in front or ahead of anyone. Magneto, Woocommerce and etc have better features and are stable. The dev's say "we haven't heard of these issues" when their own forum is filled with the same requests.

Idk why you're sticking up for them but this isn't helpful nor related to this topic. Please don't comment unless its a resolution or advice to rectify what is wrong.

Advice, to use woocommerce or learn php and solve your problems until they fix what you need.
And stop acting like an A hole, don't tell me what not to do.
Or pay a developer to fix that FedEx plugin for you if you are such in a hurry, one frome your country, so he will know what to do.

Dude you're literally being a know at all and providing no valid input to the issue at hand. The a hole is the person here acting like he knows better than everyone here. No one care's about any of that. From my country? Like who says that? Please go away

1. I know for a fact with our clients its a least half a dozen plus like 3 that didn't make it because they couldn't figure out shipping.

Sidenote Kudos: Although I give it to hikashop we were the first site, literally even after paypal disabled subscription fees to build a site with subscription services through community builder and hikashop. But the shipping not working killed them, made them move to shopify, which didn't do subscription based payment and then they kept hoping site to site, cart provider to cart provider.

So if we can keep hikashop, we'd be more than willing to help with showing users how to do this to start more; barkboxes, 420hotboxes, shavekits and etc but with Joomla.

3. We have the square plugin and etc, this should just be added as you update and develop. I mean come on, new payment methods become available and you're never going to adapt?

4. Need to make that easier

5. Let us know asap.

3. We can't include in HikaShop a plugin that another developer developed. The Square plugin was developed by TsukiDev. They are selling it on our marketplace. We can't steal it, and developing a new one to do the same thing just to undercut them is not nice either to them. Why would anyone develop a payment plugin for HikaShop in the future if we were doing that ? And that's not even mentioning the fact that we would spent weeks on working on something already available instead of developing other things or improving otherthings for HikaShop.
As I said before, we developed a new payment plugin for PayPal Checkout, which is their new API, and it's included for free in HikaShop, so "new payment methods become available and you're never going to adapt?" seems quite wrong.

THIS IS THE DUMBEST THING I'VE HEARD, TSUKIDEV HAS NOT UPDATED, MADE THE PLUGIN CUSTOMIZABLE OR DONE ANYTHING SINCE ITS RELEASE. IF A DEV CAN'T UPDATE AND LEAVE PLUGIN'S TO JUST BE, THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED.


5. It has been released yesterday: DID THE SHIPPING ISSUES GET ADDRESSED? WHAT ISSUES IN THE LIST OF ISSUES ABOVE WERE ACTUALLY ADDRESSED?

Hey i haven't read this, but i had 3 clients complain the new update broke hikamarket. Vendors can't sign up and the vendor list is gone in the back panel.

Just checked two of them on are new hikamarket one is on 4.0 and still is broke.
