Something is weird indeed. Are you sure the titles are correct?
Because, as I read the charts, your bricks have more value than your sets: the
average value (value / qty) of your sets is 0.? / 1 (below 1) while the average
value of your bricks is 49.67 / 45 (greater than 1).
|
We do not sell sets - only the odd polybag so our bricks, which are in the 100's
of thousands always have much greater value in sales than our sets.
IN other word the 2nd chart shows the % of sales value represented by each product
family. Bricks and plates are 1st and 2bd and so ob,

To make sure I'm reading this right, this is based on "times sold", not "value"?
So if this is based off the sales of a 100 items, 8 of those would be minifigures?
I'd be curious to see how a value pie chart based off of the same sales would
differ from this one. My guess is the minifigure pie slice would be quite bigger.

1. Metrics to display sales figures and what parts/sets are your best sellers.
This is a huge one.
2. Shipping zones for Auto-Checkout that ACTUALLY WORK for us here in the states...
Should have been remedied years ago...
3. The ability to combine duplicate lots in your inventory with a click of a
button.
4. The ability to part out sets at X% of the 6mo average. I love Bricstore, but
would rather be able to do it all in BL.
5. A way to put items that have been in your store for a certain amount of time
on sale, and keep increasing the sale until they sell.
|
IN the main agreed, we would also like to see a simp-le click to ensure all prices
are set to x decimal places.

I am really often looking at Google Maps, where I copy and paste the address
of a buyer from a received order, to confirm it is exact. I know the region is
always added on the address, but some of them contains symbols, slash... and
my post office only accept letters and numbers, so I am always "translating"

If orders are payed via Paypal onsite or another onsite payment methode (with
or without taxation) make sure the address from the buyer used in the order matches
the address used with PayPal.
Also start using some kind of standard for addressing. I know there is nothing
official, but for example ISO 19160 for every address in BrickLink/Paypal could
help avoiding mistakes or confusions.
|
Lots of people have suggested that one. Agreed.

Basic abbilities to syncronize adresses with shipping services. I mean I'm
used to copy the adresses by hand but it would be nice if some automation was
possible.
I think other sites have at least something like this already.

Ok - I agree with that - the current address validation between BL and Paypal
for onsite is not working properly unless you change the address on the order
to match a Paypal address.

Interesting point - thanks. We would also like to see a complete revamp of the

Software changes.
MacOS no longer supports 32-bit applications.
So, no LEGO Digital Designer, BrickSmith, LPub, etc.
A lot of LDraw tools are broken.
But Studio is being actively maintained/developed and can do many of the things
those old programs can do and more.
I know many are still using older versions of MacOS/Windows, but maintaining
backward compatibility while updating the software to run on current machines
is challenging. Sacrifices must be made.
That being said, BrickStore is still available for many operating systems (Android,
Debian, iOS, Linux, etc.)
Just not Windows 7.
|
Yeah all 100+ million of us. Poor decision especially as Microsoft are still
supporting Windows 7 (Those that have paid extra to maintain that support). Sounds
fair doesn't it.

Perhaps BrickStore supporting Windows 7 is difficult when there is no official
support from MS?
|
Pssibly but the way the notice r4eads it is more to do with an app store.
"This comes with a lot of advantages, but also disadvantages for a few users.
The disadvantages:
Windows 7, 8.1 and macOS 10.13 are no longer supported, as they have been discontinued
by their respective vendors. Support for these platforms will not come back!
32bit Windows (x86) is no longer offered as pre-built package to download. Qt
(the library BrickStore is built upon) doesn't offer an installer for this
platform anymore, because there are too few users left using it. Getting BrickStore
running on a 32bit Windows 10 is technically possible, but you are on your own
here, having to build Qt 6.2.4 plus BrickStore yourself.

Windows 7 support ended on January 14, 2020
So not only are you putting yourself at risk, but why do you hold it against
Brickstore for not supporting W7 but you are OK with Microsoft not supporting
W7, which is a much bigger issue for you.

We are not really at risk with windows 7 we have adequate protection - Brickstore
, on the other hand seem to think the world is moving to app stores (which is
not the case for PC applications).
We think BS should continue to support windows 7 - they are abandoning over 100
million users (who also continue to use Windows 7)
We are far from being a Microsoft fan and we have been one of their partners
since 2000.
