Magento 2.x Feature Requests and Improvements

We sell grills and smokers. When someone places an order they will often add covers and other products. Occasionally we run into an issue where the order go on credit check, one of the items goes out of stock and the order fails to go into Magento. Which means we have to create an order for these lost souls manually. The happens more than I'd like in the holiday season where things go in and out of stock constantly. Here's the thing. If I am out of covers for your smoker it doesn't really matter at the time of order. Often there is a delay of a couple weeks while we cut, weld and paint your smoker. I may have the covers stock deplete and restore 2-3 times. It'd be great if having that grill in your cart caused everything else to ignore their inventory level. Yes we know a product can individually have it's inventory ignored, but I want a product to make other products inventory ignored. Right now it's just before Thanksgiving. If I order a really big grill with a custom paint job it may not ship until January. My inventory level of anything else in the cart is completely irrelevant.

Hi there, We recently came across with an issue where Magento intentionally disabled discount for Gift Card Type Products. It was there in Magento 1 and I totally understand that discount on gift card products may be leads to any fraud since Gift Card is similar to Cash value. But I noticed that in the code it is checking if it's Gift Card Type product then no cart rule apply. This check needs to be done at Admin Configuration, so if merchant want to enable/disable then should able to change that easily without any code change. User Case: We have Physical/Virtual Gift Cards Setup. We created a Cart rule where we can give 10% discount for above products. While looking into code at following file we noticed that it is invalidating gift card type products that's why we are not able to give any discount. File: vendor/magento/module-gift-card/Model/Validator/Discount.php Code: public function isValid($item) { if (Giftcard::TYPE_GIFTCARD == $item->getProductType()) { return false; } return true; } As mentioned above, it would be great if you include this feature in Admin Config. Thanks, Devendra Gajera Corra Inc

Hello everyone, Does anyone know how to change 'Add To Cart' button text and relink the button? Sometimes I need to direct customer from my store to another place in the net. I followed these 2 guides: https://community.magento.com/t5/Magento-1-x-Admin-Configuration/Changing-Add-to-cart-button-text-and-relink/td-p/11658 https://www.tigren.com/change-add-cart-button-text-magento/ But they're the guide for Magento 1.9. The curent version is Magento 2.2.6 and the code is different, I can change the button text, but can not relink it. I created an atrribute 'get_link' to get the external URL from user's input, but it did not work. This is my code for the file 'addtocart.phtml' within current theme: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WUsLE1arTCSX2V0jqKzmTkSH6fwY9X6/view?usp=sharing Or, does anyone know where I can find information for this problem? Hope you will take a look. Thank a lot!!

Issue Currently there is no simple way to check what quote item was just added to the cart. This causes issues for module developers who need to work out what item was added to the cart for a custom module. Possible Solution Right now we have: $this->checkoutSession->getLastAddedProductId(); To get the last added product however there is no way to fetch the item id. A possible solution is to give us a saved session for getLastAddedItemId for example: $this->checkoutSession->getLastAddedItemId();

Is it possible to add the widget to the checkout page?

Hi, My idea is within the checkout allow for a place for tax exempt customers to enter their tax exempt number. This could be tied to a customer group that doesn’t charge tax so either the customer wouldn’t get charged tax instantaneously or after verification (this would be up to the admin). This would be a great feature for the B2B area of Magento.

Create 3 Terms and Conditions for checkout process. By default Magento is listing the terms one after other based on their ID's. As it is now the only way to re-position the terms is editing the database. Please allow this modification in Backend.

One of the biggest complaints we get from customers is the generic error message "An error occurred on the server. Please try again", that displays in the checkout when their credit card cannot be accepted. Usually there's an issue where the billing and shipping address or zip code doesn't match, so the card is not accepted. The problem is the error message states there is "an error on the server" which leads them to believe there is something wrong with the website-when that is not the case, there is something wrong with what they've inputted. Another type of generic message like "We could not place this order, please call (store's phone number) to complete" would work infinitely better. Even better, would be a way to customize your own error message in the checkout right in the admin panel. Overall I think this simple change would help the customer understand that the order could not be processed, but there isn't a problem with the website or server.

It would be very helpful if customers had the ability to write order comments when they go through the checkout process on the front end.

Magento 2 2-step checkout is very limiting for stores who want/need to add content. For example, we have many shipping methods and upgrade options to choose from that require explanation. The Magento 2 platform simplifies the checkout so much that my Address/Shipping Methods page will be very long and complicated. It would be much more accommodating for both store owners and end-users if Addresses, Shipping Methods and Payment info were separated into 3 different pages (and with the ability to add content header and footers) to allow for directions, time tables and shipping advice. Customers need information to decide whether or not they will place their order - for example and most importantly - to know when they will get their order.

Right now Shipping Address and Shipping Methods are in the same JavaScript uiComponent. This is fine for the most part, unless you want to add additional sections between them. This would be as easy as adding a new region foreach between the shipping address and shipping method sections of checkout\shipping.html

I have an suggestion to include some simple sample modules (no documentation, but actual modules) that uses KnockoutJs to "Magento 2 sample module" package.

In Magento 2 checkout page when customer chooses country the page makes an ajax call and refreshes shipping-methods section. Unfortunately I have not found any tutorials how to duplicate what is happening. I suggest Magento 2 should make a tutorial how it is done so developers can duplicate that process. - add custom filters to shipping-methods or payment. I have asked about that in Magento.stackexchange.com but like normally the checkout page seems to be the most mysterious part of the Magento 2 (no replies).

My questions are how to add dropdown to the shipping method section and if specific method has been selected (the one that developers have been thought about) make address field required to be filled? I have added image about what i am asking to the post. History: In magento 1.X the developers just edited the phtml file that displayed the shipping method (can be found, when searched) but in magento 2.x uses html files where php can't be used. Example: some countries uses post-offices where customers can get their orders. So the shop owners need possibility to add dropdown of post offices to the website. Also when they can select to pick up in post office or shop then why they need to add their address making the address field dependable with selected shipping method. I have tired to solve it myself but I do not like none of the solutions that i have came up with: adding the selection field with jQuery (somehow adding it to the order) below shipping method its content depends on shipping method that is selected (main disadvantages are that it might decrease the speed and user has to scroll down to add post office) or writing completely new shipping module that contains this possibility (Magento updates might have added dependency or changed the overwritten files that might brake the website or make module unresponsive - writing new module means writing over many default files rising risks and making the default shipping method useless (main functionality in this kind cms)). I have tried to ask help Magento Community Forums (programming section) and Magento Stack Exchange - no response! Both of these websites contains a lot of questions about checkout page that are without no replies including many almost duplicate questions about the problem i am facing . Are they without answer because developers lack such knowledge or something else that is unclear. The main issue is, that I find those functionalities described elementary in such cms and can not understand why they are not added. Why developers have not thought about that user group - Magento is used all over the globe and so should be the features that can be added without changing too much the original code? The modules (extendability) not included to Magento should be dealing with only special requirements like slider or adding blocks (that has been well documented) or third party connection (Facebook, POS... ) ... But not functionalities like those where there is atleast entire country in need such features! Difficulty adding such features (that most developers can not manage (posts i have found in web while researching [example1])) is not allowing the shop owners to began using Magento 2.
