    1. Let us change (required) fields for user registration/checkout!

      Right now the data (address, phone, etc.) required for user registration/checkout are pre-defined, and the only thing we can do about it is translate the field names...

      Two features are desperately needed:

      - let us add/remove fields from user registration and checkout

      - let us decide which fields should be mandatory (e.g. right now people have to enter their phone number at checkout - a showstopper if you sell mostly virtual, low cost stuff like ebooks and your audience is from a privacy-aware region of the world... )

      • Membership plugin

        Create your own membership plugin. With bbpress being "Too niche" (says Adii), and WP emember and others too cluttered and unprofessional, a simple membership plugin would complement your woocommerce strategy and enable small ngos and other communities to grow with your themes.

        • Add Pinterest to Social Button Shortcodes

          Add the Pinterest social media button to your short code list. This would be especially appropriate for WooCommerce themes.

          • Woocommerce Table Shipping Rates - Export/import database by CSV

            its wasting time if we must add rate one by one at table shipping rates. its will be great if we can import our data from csv,or anything that can make it simple.

            • Immediate Audio Download with Woo Commerce

              I'm in love with your unsigned theme and also woo commerce. What would really make this a killer solution is to have the ability so that users can buy music tracks, checkout with woo commerce and then let the user to immediately download the music. Even better would be the option to let users download a high quality WAV version of the file or MP3 if they wish. This is handled really well with bandcamp and can be used as a guide.

              Right now for the user to get a digital download, they have to receive an email in order… more

              • Booking calendar plugin

                It would be so useful to have a booking calendar plugin that can be used on any theme. You're already halfway there with Diner's reservation bookings. It would be great to see something that can be used either for reservations (hotel, restaurant), or service bookings (consulting, spa)

                There are a few available plugins like this for Wordpress, but I haven't found one that is particularly good. The Woo team could definitely build a superior plugin.

                  • Displaying MSRP price in addition to Regular store price, and Sales price

                    Right, we only have 2 options:
                    - display regular price
                    - display sales price

                    It's a problem if ALL of your prices are already lower than the MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). If you set the regular price as the MSRP, and your price as the sales item, then ALL of your products appear as "sales items".

                    This makes it difficult to differentiate between your regular discounted prices, and actual SALES items.

                    Adding an MSRP option would be extremely useful, and very easy to do.

                    • Badges for new products

                      Similarly to the "sale" badges, having a "new" badge would be useful for new products to stand out. How long these products remain "new" could be set in the admin.

                      • Cash on delivery fee

                        Should be useful to assign a specific fixed cost for the Cash On Delivery options because the vendor has to sustain a fixed cost. This cost should update the total cost dynamically adding the fee when the customer choose it.

                        • WooCommerce extension that calculates sales tax rates

                          As ecommerce sales tax collection and reporting becomes increasingly complex (especially in states like California and New York), it would be incredibly helpful if there was an extension that automatically monitors and calculates sales tax by location and type of product. This is particularly needed because sales tax is often not calculated simply by state or zip code but rather by complex jurisdiction requirements.

                          • Tourism or Tourist Market Theme/App

                            Why not create a tourist/tourism market theme with a fully responsive design. Something suitable for web and mobile usage built around the intention to create a "community" site. The theme would combine elements of the "live, work and play" philosophy similar sites already in use. Elements of City Guide could be used for location based data - mini-features, like what you see with Simplicity would be great for creating blocks of content to feature "restaurants" "entertainment" "lodging" etc. - throw in a testimonials widget so site admins could place the widget with relevant content (a great food experience on the… more

                                • Display attributes (ie. size, color) under product image on archives page

                                  Users cannot add-to-cart variable products from the category pages. They're forced to go to individual product pages to do so.

                                  Many other stores already offer that option. It's a much needed addition.

                                      Hi !

                                      It now has two choices:

                                      - The customer adds a product in the cart and it remains on the product page
                                      - The same thing except he is redirected to the cart

                                      stay on the page in question but rather than forcing the customer choice, he was offered:

                                      1 Continue Shopping OR 2 Checkout

                                      Your opinions ? Thanks ! ;)

                                      Florent

                                        Make the Notices of Theme & framework show up on dashboard instead of when theme options is clicked on.

                                        • product attributes with visible options instead of just dropdowns (Colour swatch, size images, fonts radioboxes, etc)

                                          It would be awesome to be able to have a selection of variable attributes that would include;
                                          * the ability to have a small image display next to an attribute option, perhaps with a radio box
                                          * Perhaps a colour swatch to select a colour from, and the ability to select the colours that would show in the swatch
                                          * Radio Boxes
                                          * Text Fields to enter text
                                          * Upload a file, for people ordering a product that might be something printed or engraved

                                          I would buy this if it was an extension too. Advanced Product Attributes or something.
