We use Floranext as our system.
This system houses our website, product listing, price listing, point of sales system (external payment processor, currently using Stripe), wedding/event proposals, charge account listing, delivery tracker, wire orders can link to your account and place orders directly from the site, marketing emails, text confirmations, it can help you create routes for your drivers, it emails customers when their order has been delivered, basically everything.
The current problem is that it does everything so if I wanted to resign our website . . . I can’t because I’d lose everything I just mentioned above along with it.
That sounds like a massive build-out to do all of that from scratch. My issue isn’t any of the things the platform is trying to do, it’s just that UX sucks from the business and the customer perspective. I can list out all the things I want it to do differently, but to my non-coder brain that project sounds large and expensive. Because all the other systems suck, there is potential scalability to other shops but that’s not really my goal. Just might end up being a byproduct.
You might just go gander around my website and you’ll see why I don’t like it. Go through the check out process short of actually buying anything, it also sucks.
And what’s the issue with all the somewhat standard ones like Shopify/Square solutions? Too expensive?
I, admittedly, have not looked into those very deeply to see if those could get me the functionality I’m looking for but I know that I’d have to manually accomplish some back-end tasks like ticket order print out, delivery tracking, and wire order tracking if I went that route.
I’ll look into those on Monday and come back with what I’d be missing.
I would ask chatGPT. But that does not sound like a unique issue. I’m sure there are hundred of thousands of merchants who need a system that processes a sell, then tracks orders. If not a third party extension or a plug in.
