Rollover Thumbnail and Lazyload

Spice up your Yahoo! Store for the holiday season with these three great but underused features.

Rollover Thumbnails

Category pages typically show a smaller (thumbnail) version of the product (or sub-category) in some kind of a grid-like arrangement. These thumbnails, by definition, are rather small so you have to make sure those images are detailed and interesting enough to entice the visitor to click through.

But what if you could show an additional view of each product before the visitor clicks its thumbnail? Even without any customization every Yahoo! store already has the option to store and display an additional image for each product: a closeup, a lifestyle shot, a model, etc. You can do this by uploading an additional photo into the inset property. This photo will then show on the item detail page, but only there. With our Rollover Thumbnails you can feature these secondary images right on the category pages. When the visitor hovers his or her mouse over the product thumbnail, if a secondary image is available, the primary image will fade into this secondary image. When the mouse leaves the thumbnail, the image fades back into the original (primary) image.

Completely automatic, once this function is installed in your Yahoo! Store all you have to do is upload your secondary shots into the inset property.

Lazy Load Category Pages

Category pages usually have very little content, but because they often contain thumbnail images for each link, the overall download size of those thumbnails may "weigh down" the category page making it slow to load. Speed it up using "Lazy Loading"! With this feature, only those thumbnails which are visible, i.e. those above the "fold" (the visible part of the page), are downloaded from the server. The rest of the images are not downloaded until they are needed. Our "Lazy Loading" script waits for the visitor to scroll down the page before instantly displaying the images for the portion of the page which is now in view.  Only at that point does the next set of (visible) images get downloaded from the server, leading to a more efficient page load.

Enhanced Checkout Error Reporting
Usability experts agree, and studies clearly show that when shoppers make a mistake at checkout, they need extra help and attention to show what needs to be corrected. The fact is, people just don't read anything that's on the screen, plain and simple. What's more, if the error message is long, they notice it even less. When shoppers don't know what's wrong but can't continue the checkout process, they get frustrated and may simply leave their shopping cart - costing you business.
Our Enhanced Error Reporting tool overcomes all of these limitations. It makes the error message text larger so it's easier to notice. It shortens the error messages, showing your customer just the essential information, i.e. the problems to be corrected. And finally, it removes the miniscule asterisks and instead, puts a noticeable red border around all the fields that require the shopper's attention.

Adding custom Yahoo Store fields - Catalog Manager vs. Store Editor

In a non-legacy Yahoo Store, there are two ways to add custom fields: through Catalog Manager under "Manage my Tables" and through the Store Editor, under "Types" (the Store Editor's "Types" are essentially the same as Catalog Manager's "Tables".) Whether you add custom fields from Catalog Manager or from the Store Editor does make a difference as each has its advantages as well as disadvantages. Catalog Manager To me the main advantages of using Catalog Manager to add custom fields are: 1) You can add multiple fields quicker 2) You can later change the field's name and even type 3) You can delete the field if you no longer need it. 4) All the fields that are available in Catalog Manager are included in the data.csv file if you download your catalog. 5) All the fields that are available in Catalog Manager are also included in the catalog.xml datafeed file, which is used by the comparison shopping engines, for example.

Multi-Add and Yahoo Floating Cart Blues

Although the Yahoo! Floating Cart is considered pretty much bug free by Yahoo (you can look at the official open issues list here http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/smallbusiness/store/floatingcart/floatingcart-09.html ) , there are some pretty "interesting" issues still, so since I keep running into them, I decided to post them here along with the work-arounds. The following issues all occur with multi-add forms only. 1) If you have your quantity set up as anything other than a simple text box (for example a drop-down SELECT box), the floating cart will not take the quantity value. It will take vwquantity as a customer-selected option. The workaround: use a text box instead. Nothing else works currently. 2) If you have a script that checks if the shopper made a selection from a drop-down (basically, any kind of an "onsubmit" handler), the floating cart will still receive the item, even if you cancel the submit event. The workaround: put the event handler on the click...

Pre-Season Checkup

With the holiday shopping season fast approaching it's a good idea to do a general checkup on your store to be sure it's ready for prime time. Below are a few things you would want to check, along with a few add-ons that are not too major in scope, but which are often neglected and give you an edge over your competition. Can you Search and Order? Every time we do anything major in a store we test two things: whether searching and adding to cart/ordering works. You can have nice, flashy pictures, cool animation effects, a very quick loading site, anything, but if the store search is broken or you can't add to the cart or can't check out then an ecommerce site is worth nothing. Can you Order? Chances are if your checkout was completely broken you'd know about it by now, but it doesn't have to be totally broken in order to scare away potential customers. So go ahead, go to your site and first do a search and make sure it works. Then, add one or more products ...
