Ochanoko forum

Dear Ochanoko,

1, We all know that in the Delivery Charges under Advance Settings, we can set [Offer free delivery if the merchandise total reaches ....].
However, in many cases, we have items which are so heavy that they should be excluded from this FREE SHIPPING function.

2, In Inventory control, we can make Sub-category under Main Category. However, after Sub-categories are created, the category description of the main category cannot be seen any more, as well as the pages with all items of the main categories. I think at least the category description should be kept to be seen. It is important for customers to give information about the main category.

As a customer of OCNK, I would like to make the system better.
I believe it will help a lot of customers and help Ochanoko to gain more customers over other e-commerce shopping cart.

Hurrah, I found the way to change $ to Japanese yen.

But I want to use the word 'yen" or the ¥ sign instead of the japanese kanji. Actually it is physically possible, but would that not create problems/interferences with the system when customers want to pay ?

I still have to find a way to not set a selling price, if it is possible.

Hi,

I just started to set up my ocnk page for a online shopping service, but I am a novice and I already have two problems with the price setting on my page:

(1) I live in Japan and will sell my services to customers in Japan.
Is it possible to set up the price in ¥ and not in $?
Sadly the $ seems to be the only available option...

(1) My business is a shopping service on a farmers market and I won't know the item price before I actually shop for my customers. Furthermore the price of the item is printed on the item when I buy it for my customers. That means I can't sell it with a margin (the customer would receive tomatoes he got from me for let say 300¥ but the a price of 280¥ would be printed on the package…).
That's why I plan to use a flat fee of 2000 ¥ per shopping expedition, whatever the amount of groceries I buy for my customers.
I would like to write either 'Tomatoes 150~300¥' in the product description, and not a fixed price, but the 'Inventory Control New Items' page won't allow me to not set a price, furthermore in $ and not in ¥ as mentioned in (1). Written in red is the mention "An item cannot be added to the cart without setting the Selling Price."

Here is a test I did with tomatoes:

How can I solve these problems ?

Thanks for helping if you know the solution!
