Targeted discount codes - BOGOF and multi purchase options?
Can we have the option for targeted discounts rather than discounts applying to the whole of a store.
The ability to tag individual listings would be an easy fix and would be quicker and more professional than editing listings with separate write downs etc.Folksy should also implement codes for BOGOF and multi purchase discounts.

Easier editing of prices
Can we please have the price of each item on the 'manage listings' display - so we can alter the price as well as the stock level easily. At the moment we have to edit each item which is much more time consuming - as well as it increasing our views ! (why do views have to go up when we view our own items ???)
It would be EXTREMELY helpful to be able to edit the price of an item as quickly and easily as we can edit the stock level- please add it to the manage lisntings editable…9 votes -
Allow shop owners to put active links in product descriptions
Allowing shop owners to place active links in their product descriptions increases the shop/product visibility within search engines.
It makes a better experience for customers - being able to find what they want without switching between tabs or hitting the back icon on their browser.The only problem would be policing as you could link to external items rather than just |folksy addresses.
Something to think on.

Different delivery options for individual listings
It would be really useful if for each listing customers could choose between different postage options. For example, guaranteed, first class or second class. Not everyone needs their orders immediately, so customers can save money on delivery costs.

Adjustable thumbnail images
It's not always possible to crop an image to be square. So it would be great if you could allow us to move/resize the thumbnail, so that if the item is not exactly in the centre of your image or it's not possible to make the image square, you can adjust the thumbnail so that it doesn't look badly cropped and messy.
Currently I'm having to constantly re-crop my image to try and make sure the thumbnail is centered which is very fiddly. Shop images don't need to be square so seems weird the thumbnail is a forced, un-customisable crop…17 votes -
Shop collection photos in square format
Whilst we all strive to achieve better photos why is it that throughout Folksy "square" format photos work best whilst those associated with our shop collections are in a rectangular format and therefore often have detail cropped from them. Please could these be changed to square format so that the shop front doesn't look careless and sloppy!

Folksy to run an ad, print, tv campaign
Hi there,
Although not a direct feature for folksy users, it would improve folksy life! I've seen etsy advertised online, over the radio, on tv, in magazines, blogs etc. I would love to see Folksy make a commitment to advertising themselves, in turn helping sellers to reach more audiences.13 votes -
Set my own processing times for made-to-order items
21 days is not enough time for me to process some made-to-order items so I use other sites to offer these "high end" products to my customers. I'd like to set my own timescales on Folksy please.

Ability to de-activate item straight from Item listing
I list some of my items on more than one site - if I sell on another site I have to spend quite a long time scrolling through my 190 or so listings to find the item I want to de-activate. I'd love to be able to make changes straight from the item listing by way of a Deactivate button or even through the current Edit button by reducing stock to zero. Thanks!

Thumbnails link to actual items?
I've found it frustrating when shopping that I'll see something interesting on the front page, or as a thumbnail for a category, and then when I click on it it takes me to a page of related listings but not the one in the image (unless I scroll through a couple of pages - sometimes it's not there at all!)
Is there a way to make sure that if an item is used as a thumbnail/tease image that it actually appears in the page that that click leads you to?

Unavailable on holiday is not the same as out of stock
When I was on holiday I received this message
"We have been looking for some time and saw your kingfisher suncatcher but disappointed to see it is unavailble. Will you be making anymore as we would like 2 please"I wrote back to say that it was unavailable as i was on holiday not because i hadn't got one.
It struck me that a lot of customers would simply walk away and not bother if they saw that message. Fortunately i responded and in a couple of weeks will be selling 2 on here.
The problem arises because when in…

Search function in my listings
It would be great to be able to search my own listings, since it can be quite hare to find an item that I need to remove if it has been sold elsewhere or to copy it for a new similar listing.
This could also be solved by giving us a 'copy' and a 'hide' button on the item page next to the 'edit' button.
Would make my life that bit easier :o)19 votes -

Enable buyers to instantly download digital purchases. I.e. for PDF sewing & knitting patterns
I sell e-patterns and would like to be able to upload them to each listing so a buyer can instantly download it once purchased to save me having to email it for every sale.
A category for PDF downloads would be great, its vastly becomming the preferred option for buyers of sewing patterns and other websites are offering this. It could cover a wide range of tutorials such as crafts, arts and digital supplies.106 votes -
Hyperlinks
Please could we have the ability to post hyperlinks to other listings in our descriptive text. For example - blue cushion cover . I have a matching red one which makes up a pair (hyperlink to that listing ). I think this would be a really useful additional tool to help promote our items.

Shop Stats
Is it possible to make the shop or item views clearer, something along the lines of Etsy?? With the current Folksy system I find it difficult to tell how many views I've had per item per day. I have set up Google analytics but do not find that particularly helpful, not very user friendly nor intuitive. Cheers.

Shopkeeping ....
Please can any items that have NOT been catagorised please appear at the top of the page and not at the bottom when listing a new item or anywhere when listing a copied listing!
When you have a large shop it is extremely time consuming to sort through it.84 votes
