使えるがUIが分かりづらい
by matthew1309·6 months ago·1 reply

コンビニ決済に対応した決済サービスを導入しやすい点で、WooCommerceより便利。
ただし、WooCommerceのような分かりやすい説明はないため、慣れが必要。

以下の点で分かりづらく、仕組みを理解するのに時間がかかった。
・最初に商品の新規追加をしようとしても、配送方法を登録しておかないとエラーとなり、配送方法の登録からやり直すことになる。
・設定欄によって文字を入力するだけでよいものと、文字の入力後に追加ボタンを押す必要があるものがある(追加ボタンが入力欄を追加するボタンに見えるが、実際は確定ボタン相当となっている)ため、統一性がなく非常に分かりづらい。

また、プラグインを有効化した瞬間に固定ページと投稿カテゴリーを勝手に作り、無効化してもそれらが残ってしまうという、一度でも有効化すると環境を汚してしまうところも美しくない。
そのため、既存の環境に安易に有効化せず、テスト用の環境で使ってみるのがお勧め。

(訂正)カスタム投稿タイプは追加しない様子のため訂正した。SKUも商品の新規追加時に設定可能だったため、配送方法だけ事前に登録しておけば、商品の新規追加が可能だった。
