COWOA (for ZC v1.5.x)

[KalleP]

Hi,

Long time since I have had to make changes to my Zen Carts. Also now is the time to create a new one.

I think I would like to use COWOA (I came here from the FEC thread) or something similar but not sure if it is the right thing. Is there a description or perhaps an indication of what the acronym stands for or an old feature list, I have read a quarter of this thread and reading between the lines the plugin seems to be made to ease the checkout process. It all seems a bit secretive and not easy to find unless one might try to find some 200x threads perhaps that might describe the early builds. It would make some sense to drop keywords into the plugin description of what the acronym means and what the main selling point is, just to gain maximum conversions and grow the userbase. Grated it seems that many eventually find themselves using one of these streamlining plugins if they are practical but the whole Zen Cart plugin system sufferes from a LOT of conversion loss due to obfuscation.

My shop will have just 2 (later perhaps 3) physical products and there will be a very low repeat sale expectation so I hope to make the sale process as simple as possible.

I will only send via regular mail (with a tracking number) and shipping is free.

Asking the following here in case one of you power users has an opinion on such matters. I used to generate my address labels and response emails in excel that would include the tracking number from a table, perhaps there is a modern plugin that will save me some time with email templates with a tracking number field (I could scan the tracking label barcode perhaps) and something to print simple address labels. This site is to be implemented in South Africa so simple is best.

Regards

Kalle
