  1. Free Text field in Postage section, that can be bulk edited.

    Hi there
    Is it possible to have a free text field under the Delivery and Postage heading please?

    I send my items with free postage, but want to buyer to know HOW I send it - eg Royal Mail 1st Class signed for. There is nowhere I can write this except in the main description. But the info really needs to be under the postage section.

    The problem: Due to postage costs rises I am having to change to 2nd class post. I have had to go into each of my listings and change this for every one manually.

  2. Auto Export of sales to QuickBooks

    I use quickbooks for accounting and customer payments and to send invoices and record all purchases and expenses like postage. It would be really great if the folksy store could be linked to QuickBooks just like my Amazon Etsy EBay or Woocommerce store and automatically import all customer data and sales data into quick books.

  3. Search function within each shop

    If you find a shop that sells the kind of product you are looking for, it would be great to be able to search within that shop.

  5. Videos option on listings please

    Not sure if this has been suggested before. But a video of our listings would be so useful. I find using videos on Instagram really attracted comments. It also shows off my work so much better than a photo. It would be great to have this option.

  6. Clickable links in listings

    It would be really handy to be able to include clickable links in our listings. This way, we could link similar/ matching items without customers having to trawl through each of our shop sections.

  7. Ability to add tracking number to order/dispatch emails

    Hi all

    I send high value items and always use a tracked service.
    I think it would be really useful if when marking an item as shipped, i could also add the tracking reference.

    I understand that I can email the customer with this info, but it would be great if that info was in their dispatch email/folksy account.

    what do you all think?

    Thank you, Corinne x

  8. New material option for Spoon

    I make a lot of spoon jewellery, and used to add spoon as a material option. There is now an automatic option for wooden spoon and bead, meaning I can't use the word spoon. Please add this as an option. Thanks

  10. website

    I really am not liking your website. It isn't easy to negotiate and has not updated any of my purchases. I've made lots of purchases and it only shows two.

  13. New categories

    I have a lot of ID holders and lanyards listed, and lots more to add. Is it possible to add a "Lanyards & ID holders" category, as I think they're getting lost in Everything Else. Likewise, I have a lot of Sleep Masks, but there's nowhere to put them apart from Everything Else. Can you make some kind of Sleepwear category please. Thanks

  14. Postage upgrades added to Bulk listing option

    Please will you consider adding Postage Upgrades to Bulk Listing Option. The only current workaround for this is add an Option Variation to each listing, which is tedious and timeconsuming and if postage prices increase.....well!

  15. Is there a plan to have a search function within the seller dashboard?

    my shop is getting bigger and I'm struggling to find outdated tags to update or items I need to copy to create new ones (the thumbnails are too small too) so wondered if there is a plan by folksy designers to add a search function to the backend of our shops to make navigating around listings easier and quicker?
    it could pick up the titles and tags only and I'd be super happy.!

  16. build platform so we can buy stamps direct from Royal Mail and print out ourselves

    I used to use Etsy (by the way i much prefer Folksy) but one thing they had which made it a lot easier for sellers is that I could buy Royal Mail stamps direct them from them and then print my own label and attach them to envelopes with weight, QR codes, addresses etc. I know it might take quite a lot of effort on your part but really I think it's worth it.

  17. Postage to Germany (and other countries with similar postal regulations)

    Germany have introduced packaging regulations which are complicated and make it uneconomical for small sellers to continue selling there. This involves paying a fee and declaring / estimating the packaging you will use annually etc. I had hoped that this did not apply to small sellers, however information available on the internet suggests that it does and that a large fee may be incurred for anyone who does not comply. As a result of this legislation many sellers no longer sell to anywhere in Europe (as can't eliminate Germany from postal options) or have put a notice on their account…

  18. Gallery or Archive page

    I would like to be able to post pics of items I have made previously, in the hope that a potential customer might browse the items and order something similar, thereby generating some bespoke trade.

  19. NOT to relisting items about to expire that 0 in stock

    Please do not drop items that have ZERO in stock automatically into relisting section with the other ones, as you have to go them all individually and untick them all. They have to stay in "Out of Stock" section until we re-list them manually or in bulk.

  20. Conditional Discount Codes

    It will greatly increase sales to have conditional discount codes for our shops. At present the only type of discount code functionality is a whole-of-order flat rate discount which is unsuitable for running specific promotions.

    It's far better to have conditional codes for specific campaigns, a few examples:

    • x% off items in a specific shop category
    • "three for two" pricing
    • BOGOF
    • x% off when you buy x number or more items
    • spend £x or more and get x% off

    There are lots of variations that can be created for specific discounts all of which will encourage more sales.
