Plugin Improvements Wishlist

Hi,
I’m really happy with the plugin and Eva and the dev team have been fantastic at crushing bugs and adding features. This post is not a support request but more of a wishlist of things I think would really elevate the plugin in terms of usability and usefulness.

1/ Implementing OR filters

I sell products which come in lots of different size and style variations, which I need to filter out otherwise my product feed would be huge and full of very similar duplicate products. In order to filter out these extraneous products I need to split out my google shopping feed into 6 different feeds, each one using the include only filters.

And because I target different countries, all these feeds need to have a USD, and EUR variant, so that means 18+ feeds to manage and update.

But if we have the ability to use OR filtering, then we could just create one feed per currency.

2/ A queue system for refreshing feeds

I’m not sure if this is implemented for scheduled feed refresh, but when you manually refresh more than one feed at a time, it tries to refresh them at the same time which can cause timeouts and server load. As a result when I’m refreshing feeds manually I run one, wait until it finishes (which can take 5-10 mins for 19000 variations), and then run the next one etc…

Instead would be great if everytime we request a feed refresh for a feed it is added to a queue (similar to how wordpress updates plugins sequentially one at a time), so that I can click refresh on all the feeds I want, and it just runs the first one until completion, then the next one, then the next automatically.

3/ Getting currency rates from the Aelia currency switcher

I know you recently added the WPML currency switcher integration, but on some sites we don’t use WPML but only the Aelia Currency Switcher (which is the #1 premium woocommerce currency switcher in terms of installs).

Right now I can set currencies manually using a rule, multiplying the price which is great. But when you have many feeds, or automatic currency rate changes then you need to update all the feeds manually and refresh these again.

Would be great if you could add a rule which converts the base currency to a target currency using Aelia’s function (instead of having to manually enter the rate).

For example: Rule if Price or shipping, Condition Convert aelia currency, Value = Target currency (for ex: EUR, USD etc), then it would use the Aelia function to convert using the Aelia currency switcher rate automatically.

Aelia have provided lots of documentation including ready made functions you can copy paste into your code and looking at the documentation it appears it only takes a few lines of code to get the converted amount with two input variables (Amount and target Currency) to get the converted amount.

Let me know if you need any more info or access to the Aelia currency plugin.

Thanks!
