Re: Pre-purchase questions

Hi Adrian,

Easify is most certainly being supported and developed, in fact we released a new update for it today.

You can evaluate the WooCommerce integration for 30 days before you need to purchase a subscription for it.

You can run end of day reports that will give you your VAT content.

With suppliers and products you can add notes, but these wouldn't be clickable links - just text notes. However you could easily copy and paste the URL from the notes to your browser address bar.

Easify supports one supplier per product at present.

We don't support best before date management, but we can look at adding this in a future update.

The hosted server (Easify Cloud Server) does not have a web interface (yet), you would need to use the Easify Client Software to access it. However we will soon be releasing a beta version of "Easify in a Browser" which will allow you to access all of your reports via a web interface.

I hope that helps, please feel free to fire away if you have any other questions.

Re: Pre-purchase questions

Hi Richard,

Thank you very much for your answers.

Just to confirm: there is no way to evaluate the WooCommerce integration before purchasing EASU?

Re: Pre-purchase questions

Hi Adrian,

EASU only works with the old Easify Version 3, there is a free trial of EASU available but it's the old way of doing things.

The new Version 4 ecommerce code doesn't require EASU, and we can let you have a free 30 day trial of the Wordpress/WooCommerce subscription that is required.

Re: Pre-purchase questions

Yes, please, that would be very helpful.

I am considering purchasing the local hosting licence but if I wanted to later change to a subscription licence is it easy to migrate the data to the hosted server?

Re: Pre-purchase questions

It's no problem to migrate from a local on-premises server to a cloud server, you'd just provide us with a backup of Easify and we would do the rest.

With the free trial, we can sort that out for you once we have released the new Ecommerce code. I'll send out a news email when it's released, so if you could drop me an email to support@easify.co.uk at that time we can provide you with the trial subscriptions that you would need.

Re: Pre-purchase questions

I'm just playing with the Import Products feature. I think I've got it to import products from Unicenta but is the demo version limited to only importing 25 products? If not, I have a problem!

Re: Pre-purchase questions

There are no limitations with the demo version, it's the full products just time limited to 30 days.

It sounds like there is a problem with the CSV file you are using, do you get any errors or warnings when you preview the data?

Re: Pre-purchase questions

I was getting a message saying:

"Could not preview imported data. Could not apply default values to preview row. Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

The problem seemed to be with importing products in a particular category. I deleted the category from Easify and it then reported that the import succeeded. There were a handful of errors in the preview list which I mostly fixed (hard to find them all without being able to sort the preview list).

However, I have around 2160 products in my CSV file and after import there were only around 790 products in the Easify catalogue.

Does Easify allow the EAN field to have non-numeric characters? In Unicenta I was using custom barcodes with non-numeric characters for home-made products. That would account for a few of the missing items but not all of them.

Now, when I try to reimport the csv, it stops at around line 125, giving the same error as above. I'm not sure what is wrong with that line.

Re: Pre-purchase questions

You can have non numeric characters in the EAN field, but EAN codes are usually digits only.

To get the CSV to import you need to fix all of the errors that are displayed in the preview. Typically many of the errors will be related and will be caused by things like having quotation marks or commas in the CSV fields, or having missing values (i.e. a missing comma delimited column not just a blank value).
