• Upcoming changes!

  Here’s a heads up on a few improvements in our communication and support channels.  Shozam! Forums We are in the process of implementing forums on the following topics:  - Feedback  - Wish List  - Testimonials  - How To’s (user helping other users figure things out)  - Themes  - User generated galleries  Shozam! Error Reporting  - Ticket style submission of program errors  Shozam! Blog  We are implementing a new blog which we will use moving forward. We’ll do our best in migrating the existing content from here to the new blog or the forums, as appropriate. We would greatly appreciate it if you can hold off on any non-urgent postings until we have done the migration (hopefully next week). This will provide you with a better, more organized place for your comments, feedback and questions.   5 Responses to “Upcoming changes!” Ted Dale Says: March 6th, 2007 at 5:51 am When creating the PayPal buttons in the Sell tab, I have many images that I have the same options, this future works great except that the Item# does not go to the PayPal description. After I generate the Gallery the only information that is there is the item name and Item Price but not the Item ID This future works great when you just do one image all information goes to the PayPal Button. Is there a fix for this or do I need to add this info. to each photo? Thanks, Richard H. Weiner Says: March 6th, 2007 at 9:48 pm Good stuff…I’m in particular looking forward to the themes portion so that we may all get a chance at finding that “One” theme we really want the world to know us by. Shozam! Team Says: March 7th, 2007 at 5:04 pm Ted, we are aware of this PayPal issue and expect it to be resolved in a forthcoming release. 1eye1vision Says: March 8th, 2007 at 5:38 am Hi Team, After creating images with paypal attached, is it possible not to have everytime you click the buy button the paypal page popup. This can be quite time consuming if customers are looking to buy lots of images from the site. Maybe having a cart that updates until you press checkout. Regards 1eye1vision (Having vision doesn’t make you See!!) Shozam! Team Says: March 12th, 2007 at 5:34 pm 1eye1vision, the behavior is controlled by PayPal; I don’t think there is a workaround for this. On the bright side, this behavior makes it less likely for your customers to abandon cart after adding an item and forgettting they have anything in the cart while they keep perusing your gallery… Posted Mar 05 2007, 03:21 PM by kkmcneel
