kmk Posted March 19 Posted March 19 So if I use Store feature of Commerce to sell physical stuff, after upgrade to v5 I will lost that Store? Can't sell physical products anymore?
Marc Posted March 19 Posted March 19 In answer to your question, you will not lose commerce itself, but you will lose the physical products part of things, yes. So shipping, sizes etc will all disappear from the product entirely

So shipping, sizes etc will all disappear from the product entirely Just to understand better, that mean the Store, product features still works, just some details fields will all desappeared? As you mentioned shipping, sizes etc. Could you share more about what another product fields will be deprecated? 1. I want to know if with some features deprecated, the store and product itself still enough to let me host products and services, adapting features provided. 2. If some 3 party app want to cover up these features deprecated from IPS, they still can do it right?
Marc Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Anything related to selling a physical item will be removed. Everything else will stay. So unless you are selling and shipping items using commerce, you should be good. What 3rd party authors want to write would really be up to themselves.

I use product feature to host my physical products information, without size and traditional shipping flow, no problem 2. What need to get is, customer select products and pay the amount. That mean I need inventory feature, this will be available? 3. Then I can set different label or status to products or order, example, pending, delivered... Etc. With this I will need some dashboard that let me monitoring which orders or products need their related attention.

As they are not physical items, there would be no concept of how many are in stock, but yes users can add products and pay an amount as you can at present 5 hours ago, kmk said: 3.

There is no status for delivery etc, as there is no longer physical items to be delivered on the platform.
socceronly Posted May 8 Posted May 8 (edited) But will it at least be possible to fudge it? Can we not add custom fields to a digital product? Are there at least any hints of a workaround or way to embed a store? EDIT: See this custom field question answered in another thread. It will be possible to add them. Edited May 8 by socceronly

There isnt really any other way I can answer, but for what has already been answered here really. We are removing 'only' the physical item elements. So what you do with custom fields would of course be up to yourself.

They don't necessarily need the full physical product back end, but a simple system to get a few things out the door as a work around would be good. Edited May 8 by socceronly Gill 1
