Vanilo demo app

[iWpress]

Hi, can you please tell me if there are any plans to change or improve the Vanilo demo app?

It's currently sitting rather in maintenance mode; we plan to replace it with a new, comprehensive application soon.

What would your requirements be? What would you need the most?

Hello @fulopattila122 ,
Thank you for taking the time to respond.
I'm just starting to get acquainted with Vanilo, but I can already tell that you've done a very good and much needed job.
When choosing an e-commerce framework, people look for different reviews and comparisons, so to be able to install and look at a future prototype is very cool.
A good demo is not only an example of good practices of using the framework, but also a great advertisement for it.
Now I am creating a project for accepting payments using payment cards of international systems, and then I plan to expand it to an online store.

It is interesting to see the Demo:

• accepting payments using different payment gateways;
• placing an order;
• creating a product grid in the frontend;
• product comparison;
• create and manage a wishlist;
• creation of a multivendor platform (Marketplace);
• import/export of goods.

Of course, this is too much for a simple demo version, but what can you do, they have such desires 😀.
It would also be very interesting to see a Vanilo server on Discord, it seems to me that Telegram is not a very convenient place to communicate, and it is also very acidic.

Hi @iWpress

Thank you for the feedback. Some items on your list are covered in the demo app:

• accepting payments using different payment gateways; ✅ here, here and here
• placing an order: ✅ here
• creating a product grid in the frontend: ✅ here and here
• product comparison: ❌ - this can be built by listing side-by-side product attributes and properties
• create and manage a wishlist; ❌ - vanilo has no built-in wishlist feature
• creation of a multivendor platform (Marketplace); ❌ vanilo has no multivendor feature at the moment
• import/export of goods: ✔️ the only import plugin for the open source Vanilo is this: https://github.com/vanilophp/woocommerce-sync
