ShopFlick

…Said Emile Coué, a French Pharmacist who invented “autosuggestion” in 1920 , or so I am told. Well, here at Shopflick we take autosuggestion to heart. You can quote me on that.

With that said, here’s a bunch of new features we will be rolling out tomorrow (Thursday).

• Featured Stores – In addition to our Featured Listings module, you can now browse a selection of Featured Stores on both the Homepage and the Shop page. Our first Featured Stores are some of our favorites: Poketo, David Flores Art, and Miss Misa, to name but a few.
• Search – Admittedly, our initial search experience was kind of chaotic. So we’ve decided to streamline the process a bit by providing you with the ability to quickly search categories as well as refine your search by popular tags. You will notice that Search currently features a “Listings” and a “Stores” tab. In the coming weeks we will be adding an “All” tab that will combine Listing and Store results into a single view. Give it a whirl and let me know what you think.
• Instant Payment Notification – We’re happy to deploy the first part of our payment services improvements. With these improvements our buyers can easily check the status of their purchases and our sellers can see whether they have been paid. We’ll be releasing additional payment improvements in the coming weeks, all of which are being rolled out to help make Shopflick really easy to use. As always, please feel free to hit me up with any questions or feedback you may have regarding our payment system.
• Seller Policies – Sellers now have a free-form space on their Store page where they can explicitly outline their Store Policies (returns, shipping intricacies, etc.). Our merchandising people will post a short list of suggested policies that we know will be important to creating a great customer experience on Shopflick.
• Shipping Information – This is a significant improvement to the management of the Seller’s Shipping Profile. Sellers can now easily select where they ship to, how they prefer to ship and the corresponding shipping costs.

We want the development of Shopflick to be as collaborative a process as possible. Please let us know if you’ve got an idea for a great feature we should build, or (gasp) you’ve found a bug, or even if you want to join the team. We are here for you, and there are lots of easy ways to reach out:

I’m wildly excited to watch Shopflick grow and to really learn from all of you. We will deploy bug fixes and new features as fast as possible, so be on the look out for a constantly evolving shopping experience. This is by far the best part of the product development process!Thanks in advance for all of your help, and most of all, happy shopping.
