Close About tracking number Contributor: Steven / Date: 08 January 2014 / Time: 14:49 (JST/UTC+9) / Post #317 URL

Hi,
I just tried to fill tracking number for an order, it's under "Sender/Recipient : 1 " of order detail page and I use "Change Sender/Recipient" button to do the change.
I firstly fill the tracking number like "0681066302" in the field and click "View Entry" button. In next page, I then click "Complete Setting" button to confirm the change. But it seems go back to previous page and ask me to view entry again.
I go back to order detail to check if the change is applied. But found the tracking number field is still empty.

Is there a certain rule for this field or any restriction on it?

Many thanks.

Hi,

Is it possible to add a function in Item then Shop Owner can specify the Fee percentage for certain Payment method, like Paypal or others?

Or can this function be added to the payment method then shop owner can specify a overall fee percentage for this method?

Many thanks.

Re About fee function Contributor: Ochanoko/Kawakata / Date: 19 September 2013 / Time: 09:53 (JST/UTC+9) / Post #310 URL

Hi, Steven san,

If you wish to have your customers bear the expense of credit card transaction fee,
Ochanoko has no function to add that fee in the shopping cart.

Unfortunately, we have no plan to add such a function currently.

Hello Kawakata san,

I want to edit the Shopping Guide and change the 1~5
I found this answer by ochanoko-Gyoubu　No.11855
on the Japanese BBS
http://www.ocnk.net/bbs/index.php?page=59&mode=search&search_key=#bbs_search

I understood I can only "undisplay" the 1~5 part, and not edit it.

But was not able to perform the change as explained in Japanese.

I did not understand where to paste this:
---------------------------------------------------------

.help_page_1 .page_sub2_top,

.help_page_1 .guide_text {

display: none;

}

---------------------------------------------------------


Could you help me with that?

Close Groups Setting Contributor: Tony / Date: 30 July 2013 / Time: 15:08 (JST/UTC+9) / Post #301 URL

Dear Ochanoko - Kawakata san,

I think Ochanoko can improve the Groups Control setting better.
- Right now, in case you have a large number of groups, it really takes time to search for a group in the list of groups.
Can you make the Search function to search for a group in the list?
- I am wondering if the Group setting and Categories Setting can work as the New Items or Recommendations Setting, so it will be easier and faster to add or remove many items to a group.
Just my thinking to improve Ochanoko better.
Otsukaresamadesu.
Tony

Re Group settings Contributor: Ochanoko/Kawakata / Date: 31 July 2013 / Time: 15:08 (JST/UTC+9) / Post #302 URL

Dear Tony san,

Thank you for your suggestions.

<Group search function>
We will add a search function to Group setting page.
However, we have some urgent matters now, and please give us some time to make a start.

We quickly increased a number of groups on one page from 20 to 50.
This must help you search a group using Ctrl+F on your browser.

<Add an item to category and group>
On Ochanoko-net, an item must belong to a category but cannot to multiple categories.
If you change a category, you must operate on an item registration page.
Categories and groups are similar functions and basically work in the same way.

'New items and recommended items' and 'Categories and groups' have different purposes.
New items and recommended items are added element, and
categories and groups are basic attributes of an item

Re Groups Setting Contributor: Tony / Date: 01 August 2013 / Time: 12:17 (JST/UTC+9) / Post #303 URL

Thank you so much Ochanoko - Kawakata san,

The idea of increasing from 20 to 50 items in the Group list is really nice. We can use Ctrl F to search for a group.
This is exactly what customers need at this moment.
Always the best service and support!!!

Otsukaresamadesu.
Tony

Close About these shipping prices tables... Contributor: Hervé / Date: 22 July 2013 / Time: 20:45 (JST/UTC+9) / Post #296 URL

Thank you very much for your answer.
If it is HTML language, it's not for me, not yet at least…
I won't even try.

But what about these Shipping prices tables that don't blur when one zooms on it? (My message #293)
If it is not HTML, you don't need to explain, but if you had a link to a page or some keywords (even in Japanese, I should be able to understand…), that would help me a lot.
Right now, I don't even know which keyword to use for a Google search on the subject so I could judge if I will be able or not to do the same by myself.
Thank you very much.

Re Shipping cost table Contributor: Ochanoko/Kawakata / Date: 23 July 2013 / Time: 10:07 (JST/UTC+9) / Post #298 URL

I'm sorry for having missed your message no.293.

If you use the delivery charge setting, a shipping cost table appears automatically on Shopping Guide.

Go to [Shop Manager] > [Advanced Settings] > [Delivery Charges].
Click 'Set Delivery Charge' button to open the setting page.
Select 'Delivery Charge by Weight' and fill in the segment table in the Custom Method field.
If you wish to set the shipping cost using size, measure must be 'size' and unit may be 'cm'.

Click Change at the bottom of the page, and enter shipping cost by prefecture.
Only if Japanese selected in the language setting, shipping cost can be set by prefecture.

Hervé sama,

Do you wish to make a part of text into bold fonts?
In that case, please edit it using html tags in the fields with 'html available' icon.

We are sorry, but html writing is outside the scope of our support.

Hello Ochanoko Sama,

I would like to ask another "beginner question".
On my shop site I am trying to build, I used a picture to show the shipping prices.
But the problem is the picture blurs when one zooms on it.
http://kyushuveggies.ocnk.biz/info

Here on another ochanoko site, I see some shipping prices with no blur even when one zooms on it.

How are they able to do that?

Sorry for wasting your time...

Close Customer account in my shop ? Contributor: Hervé / Date: 17 July 2013 / Time: 13:00 (JST/UTC+9) / Post #289 URL

Hello Ochanoko sama,

Is it technically possible to set up my Ochanoko online shop :

- 1- in a way that my customers can send me money with PayPal independently from an order, this to open an 'account' in my shop (in my shop computer but maybe not in my Ochanoko online Shop) ?
- 2 - in a way that my customers can send me an order without paying, because their money will already be in my Paypal account?
- 3 - If your answer to my 2 first questions is 'Yes', then is it technically possible to set up my Ochanoko online shop in a way that my online shop doesn't accept an order from a customer if his account is empty or less than 'X' yens?

Below is an explanation why I am asking these questions:

My business model is a little different than most online shops.
It's an online shopping SERVICE.
I want to sent vegetables, fruits and groceries from some farmer's market in Kyushu to foreign customers in the Kanto area, and I will go to shop for them.
But instead of having my customers to pay when they order online, I want them to open an 'account' in my shop with ¥10 000 or more (using PayPal or bank transfer), and I will deduct the groceries cost, shipping and shopping fee from their account. This method is for practical reasons, because it is very difficult to know exactly which vegetables will actually be available that day, and for what price, before I actually go to the farmers market to shop for my customers. Furthermore, the Japanese Post office Yu-Pack package size, price and shipping cost I'll use will depend on the amount of vegetables I'll buy that day.
There are too many price influencing variables I won't know before I actually send a package to my customers. This is why I want my customers to open an account first so I can deduct the shopping and shipping cost from their account.

Sorry for these 'beginner level' questions and my poor english skills, I am not an english native speaker…

Hervé

Re Customers Account and Items with no price Contributor: Ochanoko/Kawakata / Date: 18 July 2013 / Time: 15:53 (JST/UTC+9) / Post #290 URL

Hello Hervé,

If you use PayPal online billing, you can receive payment through PayPal not using the shopping cart.
Please refer to the following page.
https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/make-online-payments

Otherwise, if you create an item for 10000 yen, customers can add it to cart to pay through PayPal.

However, if price for other items are not fixed, it is impossible for customers to add your itemsto cart on your shop.
The price must be entered on Shop Manager for items on sale.

Concerning the shipping cost, you can inform your customer of the definite shipping cost later.
The total amount is not fixed in the shopping cart, and you cannot use existing PayPal.
In this case, please create a new payment method to accept payment through PayPal online billing.
