How can I export the actual order DETAILS (eg. what they've ordered in their cart) when I run the export feature from MarketPress Beta 2.5? I know its possible because we can send emails with those details - but I need to see them in the export field.

Greetings mrasmith,
Great question!
I reviewed the export file and it is lacking which product was ordered though I did receive a detailed email of the transaction.
What specific items would you like to see in the export file?
Cheers, Joe :-)

Thanks! I just need to see the products ordered in a field. They don't need to be separated by rows or anything, just in a field. Help!

Greetings mrasmith,
Though this may very well be considered a feature request, I am going to flag the developer in here to see if he has any advice on how we can hack this in or if it will be a major undertaking.
This may take a longer then a normal support ticket, but we will see if we can get this sorted one way or another asap.
Cheers, Joe :-)

Greetings mrasmith,
Just a quick follow up and update to let you know I have requested the lead developer of Market Press to take a look at this ticket to see the possibility of a hack and he should be along relatively shortly.
Cheers, Joe :-)

Well it's possible but how to format that? Here is what it looks like is:
a:3:{i:948;a:4:{s:3:"SKU";s:15:"my_number123HEM";s:4:"name";s:15:"Funny Dumplings";s:5:"price";d:12.9900000000000002131628207280300557613372802734375;s:8:"quantity";i:6;}i:913;a:4:{s:3:"SKU";s:7:"dsgffdg";s:4:"name";s:14:"Comments open?";s:5:"price";d:20;s:8:"quantity";i:4;}i:909;a:4:{s:3:"SKU";s:0:"";s:4:"name";s:14:"Query Var true";s:5:"price";d:0;s:8:"quantity";i:3;}}
Which user readable is: Array
(
[948] => Array
(
[SKU] => my_number123HEM
[name] => Funny Dumplings
[price] => 12.99
[quantity] => 6
)
[913] => Array
(
[SKU] => dsgffdg
[name] => Comments open?
[price] => 20
[quantity] => 4
)
[909] => Array
(
[SKU] =>
[name] => Query Var true
[price] => 0
[quantity] => 3
)
)

What I'd like is just to have the product name - maybe include price too.
Lead Developer (joined May 2009) Likes (0)
But how do we handle multiple products and variations?
Member (joined February 2012) Likes (0)
Where is that in the post meta data? Can we have product name - variation - price? Or something like that?

Marking as not resolved.

Still my question is what's the best way to list 1-50 products in an order in one field?
Member (joined February 2012) Likes (0)
separate with commas? or output separate rows per product?

I'm gonna join in with mrasmith on the need for this. This is necessary to handle any order processing.
Especially since, as far as I can tell, Marketpress has no packing slip printing capability. While I can't get an order processing system, in my case shipworks, to integrate directly with Marketpress I thought I would at least be able to import the .csv file until I realized that this does not contain product information.
Unfortunately I'm coming to marketpress from several years of using Magento (since the begining) and ZenCart before that. It's a bit of a step backwards but I like the idea of where Marketpress is going although a little frustrated a premium plugin is missing basic eCommerce functionality like this. Fortunately membership has other privileges :)

Aaron, can you let me know how to change this ASAP?
Member (joined January 2011) Likes (0)
something else I'm running into while trying to get this to work with external processing software (in this case again it's Shipworks) is the need for an order number (not order ID) is that something that is generated when an order is created and might be able to be pulling into the CSV ?
Lead Developer (joined May 2009) Likes (0)
mrasmith, that would be a core edit to the plugin along with custom coding. The support we provide here is how to use the current features of our products and bug fixing, teaching someone to code PHP is a bit beyond that scope.
I plan to add this soon, it wasn't in the first iteration as order exports were requested for financial purposes, not packing slips and such. If you want to hire a developer to code this for you meanwhile let me know and I'll point you where to start. It would be a pretty quick code job.

Okay, well I will wait to hear when this is put into the plugin. I may look at editing the code myself or hiring a developer to do it. I imagine it isn't difficult.

Hi Aaron,
I am in desperate need for this feature as well. Here is the bigger picture of what I (and probably the rest) need and how it could be implemented:
What we need:
When we process the orders and export the file we need to be able to send it to the warehouse and they pack the products per order and ship them.
How to do it:
In the exported CSV file you could add one field after the "item_count" field named "items_ordered" and print in there each item of the order in the following format:
ItemName Variation Price - ItemName Variation Price - etc...
Result:
When the warehouse get the exported orders CSV they will know that for order id XXX they need to pack "3" items which are "bla" "bla" and "bla". (see attached image)
----
I am confident that this provides a viable solution for everyone and hope to see it implemented soon.
Thank you,
George
EDIT:
Please also add quantity for every item so it displays like this:
Quantity ItemName Variation Price
eg.
3 T-shirt Large 3.99

Looks like the new version doesn't export item details either. Is there a work around or atleast a way to convert the data to make it readable like in Aaron's post abbove?
Member (joined June 2012) Likes (0)
Also desperately looking for this, I do not see how people process large amounts of orders manually, that is just insane! Please advise!
Lead Developer (joined May 2009) Likes (0)
Hey guys, I can add this pretty quick, I just need a consensus on what the best format would be?
Member (joined June 2012) Likes (0)
Something like the email of the order shows "product title: quanity", "product title: quantity", etc...don't think price is necessary (at least not on my end). Thank you! If this can be done I will be super super excited!!
