Product Custom Fields and Real Time Rates

Hey, we recently released SureCart 3 Beta, which works beautifully with ACF and Metabox for adding custom fields.

Here is a video on the release, and it can be downloaded here in the plugin directory.

Regarding real time shipping rates, this is currently not a feature in SureCart :-(. We don’t get the request that often. We do have shipping rates you can set based on where you are shipping to and the weight of the order.

Hmmm ok, beta 3 does look a lot better. Real time rates are pretty standard for e-commerce sites. I’m surprised it’s not implemented.

I do have one more question, what is the point of having to create a SureCart account if I use the free version? What data is stored on your servers? Are products, customers, orders, etc. stored on there?

Sorry for the delayed response. Me and some of the SureCart team were attending WCUS in Portland last week.

We are going to work on real time rates even though we don’t get the request that often.

SureCart is architected for merchants that value reliability, performance, and profits. The way our system is designed, there is a platform component to ensure speed, security, scalability, and reliability.

From the plugin description page here:

Platform Based
There are two parts to SureCart, the platform, which is the Ecommerce engine, and the plugin.

The platform is built with the same technology that Shopify, Basecamp, GitHub, Twitter, Stripe and more use. These are all multi-billion dollar companies.

The plugin connects to the platform in real-time, taking all the load away from your website and onto our platform that was built and optimized for Ecommerce.

This way you get everything you want with none of the stuff you don’t want. SureCart will not slow down your website, it won’t bloat your database, it’s less likely to have plugin conflicts, and it’s made to work with your caching setup. But the real benefit here is you get assurance and peace of mind because you don’t have to worry about security, storage, or backups.

Thanks for the info. Hope you enjoyed the front row seat to Matt’s charade haha.
