[Locked] FAKKU Store issue

1
I tried looking in the forums for information regarding the store but found nothing. I'm not sure of recent changes regarding it in the last so many months, but when I logged in and checked it the store, there was no option to check the doujinshi or books for purchase anymore.

What happened to the store? Am I missing something? There's only options for merchandise and nothing about hentai books or doujinshi. Where do you go to buy FAKKU books now?

Yikes. That's new. Can we get an official word on this?

This is intentional! We're moving the store functionality over to the main site going forward, let me know if there is anything we can do to improve the experience

According to this post from Jacob, I'm guessing stuff like books and doujinshi are being moved here. If you click on the Comics tab, and then "View more Latest Doujin Releases" or "View more Latest Fakku Books" it'll bring you to a storefront kind of thing. Similarly, you can also type fakku.net/books or fakku.net/doujin in your search bar to get to those pages instantly.

If you have recommendations for improvement I'm sure you could leave them.

Ok was there an announcement I missed because even tho it sounds cool I had no idea what was going either and I check the site pretty frequently

Yeup! We're moving all of the digital content to the main site. There were a lot of support tickets from customers that didn't realize the difference between the two sections, so hopefully this is easier once everyone is used to it. Going forward the store will be exclusively for all our physical goods (apparel, figures, skateboards, etc).

I'll make an announcement about it soon, I didn't realize it was difficult for people to find the doujin page. So here it is:

https://www.fakku.net/doujin
https://www.fakku.net/books
https://www.fakku.net/games

Huh. Strange. I posted a reply but it seems to have disappeared. So if I show up twice I apologize.
I'm not sure I understand splitting up the store like this. Having to check multiple places for new stuff to buy seems like unnecessary hoops to jump through. A store should just be a store. But I'll give it a try before final judgement. Hope this works.

I like gridview for doujinshi and comics with tag and publisher filters!

Some feedback:
-There's a lot to scroll down to see the list of publishers
-"All doujin" and "Including" are like this and don't work (I use Firefox with Ublock, no 3rd party cookies)

Thanks for pointing that out, should be fixed now!

I've noticed a weird pricing discrepancy with a game price (Faulty Apprentice) where on the site it says it is $16.19 with the discount but in the shopping cart it is $17.99 with a discount.

Is there a cart feature I am missing from this part of the site that was in the store part? Being that I live in Canada paying for shipping on one book at a time is NOT feasible.

We just added the ability to add individual books to your cart and then checkout with them, so this should be all set! Over the next few days @Kisuka will be adding the ability to edit your cart before checking out.

There is a button now! Yay!

I don't know about how others feel, but I really think you should put a link for Books between Comics and Doujin in the Fakku header bar. I was confused for a bit on where to buy books. It didn't really click to go the Latest Books section under comics (used to that being for subscription magazine content).

Just my 2 cents, but I HATE having books and doujin on the main site. I GREATLY preferred having all purchasable things in one section. Not only is it less intuitive, but the book links on the main site don't have the same information and visual flair as the store links. It doesn't even list something so simple as when the physical version releases! Now I have to look in 2 different places to spend my money. Also, there isn't any sort of specific demarcation between purchasable content and membership included content. It's all just kind of mixed together.

The simplest fix would be to undo the change and just go back to the old way. However, if there's some reason this can't be done, at the VERY least add a "Book" tab to the main menu at the top so we can decisively look at ONLY purchasable books separate from the rest of the site content.
