ArtcoInc Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 @burt Have you considered how your mail responder works with Guest Accounts (PWA probably being the most popular Guest system for osC)? It obviously won't do anything for customer's birthdays, but if you integrate it with your token key module, it could be used for reviews, shipping followup, etc. I'm not sure about the legality of contacting a guest after a year for a winback ...

M I haven't. I'm aiming to get something useable for "out of the box" osC...and then if individuals need technical advice/changes, I'm available as usual. Long story short, for something like PWA (note that I do not know exactly how PWA works but have a general idea), it would just mean working out what data is available and creating a an outgoing-email module for that data. To make a long story even shorter; not difficult I think. As for something like a winback (or any other outgoing-email module) that would be up to each shopowner to decide what is right for their demographic...as simple as that...

burt Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 This has turned into a bit of a nightmare. By adding in those extra {{XYZ}} tags I made it almost impossible for users to *easily* extend the system further. 😕 So, I've recoded that portion (again [that's three times now]!) and it is, at last, as smooth as silk. However making it that easy on the shop side... has broken the admin side functions. So I now have to recode portions of that 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been surprised that people using PWA style shops would email customers at all. I thought from a customers point of view they were opting not to give or have shopowners use their data or information at all. I would be shocked if I got an email from a shop I opted not to set up an account with. Is that not an issue with guest systems? Dan Need help? See this thread and provide the information requested.

burt Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Another full day of coding this, the joys of being a coder. I now have it as easy as possible to add in {{XYZ}} tags, and they automatically show in the admin side as available for use. Eg on the "no_checkout" slug I added in {{SIGN_UP_DATE}} (which is the date customer created account) and in the admin side it appears like so ready for use; It's not as simple as I'd like, but I think I've done as much as I can working within the confines of the osCommerce architecture...

Quote Guest Account is one of the [baddest] thing an Online Shop can have. This was good in the past, but now this feature for Online Shops get more and more down. The first time I read it, I thought he was just using Black Slang (bad = good, get down = get frisky/get busy). Now I'm wondering. Not having to create an account seems to be widely popular, as people fear their information will be used to harass them (marketing emails, sale of personal information, etc.). I too, would like to hear his reasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burt Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Adding in those extra {{XYZ}} tags has caused problems. Main problem being on the admin side when adding an email into the Queue, the extra {{XYZ}} tags over and above the basic (always available) ones were impossible to add. That's now solved after much banging of head on keyboard. So, I think it's now good to start being properly tested - over the weekend I'll upload the new files to the demo site, clean out the queued emails and ask for testers (once again, sorry)...

burt Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I believe this is now ready to test, if you are able to spend 5 minutes to create an account and perform a checkout I would greatly appreciate it: https://template.me.uk/outgoing/ Please *please* use a real email address as part of the testing will be viewing emails when they come to you to ensure that they contain the correct (ie, your!) data and letting me know of any issues. This system has as standard: birthday greetings sent X days prior to the customers next birthday [default: 21 days] no checkout sent X days after creating an account (and not checking out) [default: 5] request review sent X days after an order is made [default: 60] winback sent X days after the customers last order (or create_account if no order) [default: 365] Where X is a number of days defined (per module), default as shown. Each could be changed by shopowners as needed; perhaps some shopowners might feel a year later for "winback" is too long - in which case set it to (eg) 90 for the email winback to fire off about 3 months after last. Etc and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burt Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 ps, for testing, nothing will actually be emailed out to you until I manipulate the Queue send_at dates. Once I have a few test emails in the Queue, I'll play with the dates so emails will go out much sooner than their intended date (eg, a review which would have gone out 60 days later, will go out today/tomorrow (for testing purposes) etc - hope that makes sense...
