Show Stock From Multiple Warehouses and also allow ordering from different warehouses
In standard Sana, there are only two configurations possible for how stock can be retrieved.
1. One single warehouse for the whole shop
2. Stock retrieved from the default location recorded against the customer record in ERPHowever, it would be nicer if we had the below features.
- Allow the web shop owner to choose whether he wants to display stocks for the same product in different warehouses.
- Allow the ERP admin to choose which warehouses he wants to use for the web shop (visible in web shop type of functionality).
- Allow a configuration whether to show a consolidated total…
30 votes[SANA PRODUCT] This is a great idea, and definitely on our radar. The challenge here is that it differs from ERP to ERP how we deal with these scenarios. We have customized this feature a couple of times, and might productize it at some point, but most likely not in the upcoming months due to other priorities.

[SANA PRODUCT] This is known feedback indeed, and we know that adding more flexibility for configuring the Product Sets is desired. Although this is not our highest priority for now, it’s good to have this on our radar. Thank you for sharing your feedback!

Number of Child menu item in a row
Option tho change the number of Child menu item in a row.
Default is 3 items, but it would be nice to have an option for making is 5, 2 or 6 etc..17 votes -
Visibility of pages (Flexi Pages/News/...)
Every page that is created at the SANA Admin Tool is going to be announced to Google, if the sitemap functionality for the specific section (News/Flexi-Page/Product Page/...) is enabled.
Since there may also be drafts that should not be announced to Google and/or not seen by customers, it would be a good feature to turn this page to 'not visible' or 'not exposed to sitemap'.
Every site available from a shop can easily be found by Google using the advanced search operators.

Integration 360° product pictures
Please integrate the option to add 360 degree views of product to the webshop. Alternatively the possibility to add videos to the products.
People are more likely to buy if there are moving images.
Thank you

Better integration with MailChimp.
Better integration with MailChimp, we can´t use a lot of different Mailchimp marketing tools with the current integration.

PreOrder in addition to InStock and OutOfStock
If Items are OutOfStock but orderable, they should be considered as PreOrder and not as OutOfStock, since Google removes ads in Google Shopping if the Item is marked as OutOfStock.

All URL's should be editable
All system page URL's in Sana should be editable. The contact-us and basket URL for example are not editable.
1 vote[SANA PRODUCT] Thank you for your feedback. We don’t hear this feedback often actually, so I don’t expect it will be improved in the short term. But it’s good that we have it on our radar now at least. Thank you for sharing your idea!

Delivery time per item (on stock/not on stock)
If an item is not on stock, it is important for us to tell the customer until when it can be delivered near the "not on stock"/"on stock" message.
In Business Central for example, each item has a 'Lead Time Calculation' and a 'Safety Lead Time'. Both values together plus the standard delivery time will represent the possible delivery time for items not on stock.20 votes -
Provide separate control of prices, stocks and ordering facilities to guest customers.
Price Visibility, Stock Visibility (Product presentation), Show unit of measure and special ordering and checkout (ordering) section for guest customers.
In Sana admin under Setup > Products > Price / Stock and assortment
In Sana admin under Setup > Ordering & Checkout > Ordering
Provide separate control of prices, stocks and ordering facilities to guest customers.
this is important as sometimes our customers need to show products to guest customers but not to guest customers.

Allow customers to choose for partial or complete delivery
Sales orders have a parameter that determines if partial shipment is allowed or not.
It would be a good idea to allow the (B2B) customer to decide in the checkout page of the webshop for this order if he only wants the shipment to be send when complete or if partial shipment is allowed.

Allow Adding of Meta Images in Standard Sana
In addition to being able to add meta titles and meta descriptions for each page in Sana Admin it would be very useful and beneficial to be able to add meta images.
Without being able to add meta images no picture comes up if you share a page on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. Being able to share links with meta images is extremely important for marketing.
When I inquired about adding meta images I was told that to that it would be a "customization" which doesn't really make any sense, in the current state of the internet meta images are…
3 votes[SANA PRODUCT] Dear Ian, you are 100% right about this. We acknowledge that this is a missing feature that deserves attention. That’s why we are building it. It will most likely be shipped in our next major Sana version. Thank you for sharing your feedback!

1 image for different items in NAV - possible or not ?
Is it yet possible to use 1 image for multiple items of the same type but different dimensions ? Now we need to use 1 image per item (although they look the same) which blows our database out of proportions.
Thank you.
David23 votes[SANA PRODUCT] Thanks David, this is an interesting request. Typically most our customers require a different image per item. However, there could be more customers with a similar scenario, I will leave this feature on the feedback channel and monitor the number of votes. Should it be prioritized in the future I will reach out to you and the voter to validate the direction. Thanks for your feedback!

Visitors segmentation according to website's language
It would be very handy if we could create segments to hide or show content according to the language that the visitor selects on the website.
That is, before they log in, otherwise we can use one of the [Customer] fields.99% of the time, the visitor that chooses a language is located in the related country. We have content that is not relevant to people in specific countries because we don't sell some products there. But we are forced to translate the content (otherwise the blocks will take the primary language) and to write a note that it is…
8 votes[SANA PRODUCT] Hi, thank you for the feedback! We are now working on our new CMS in Sana, and discussed your feedback idea. One of the questions we had is the behavior what you would like to happen if no translation is available? Could you please let us know what should happen in your view?

Show prices
If a (b2b) customer is logged in to the shop, he/she should be able to choose, which prices are shown.
Dealers often have their customers standing beside the desk with the eyes right on the computer. The dealers do not want the customer to see the net prices or discount on the gross prices.
There could be the following options:
- Show gross price with discount
- Show net price
- Show gross price31 votes[SANA PRODUCT] Thanks for these comments! In Sana 9.3.0, it’s possible to configure how prices are shown. This applies to the entire web store, and not on customer level. If we understand you correctly, you are looking for a configuration so that the shop account owner itself can change this setting as well, right?
For completeness’ sake: you can find more information on our Sana Help under the paragraph “Price presentation”:

Video issue
Videos in full width on large screens are not responsive to mobile screens. In that case, SANA will only show a thumbnail picture on small screens instead of the video.

Copying webstores in SAAS
We have a customer that have 3 beta webstores and 3 live webstores. They want to have one-to-one settings in their test before it goes to live. Every time they do a change they must do exactly the same settings in live or other webstores (they are on Sana SAAS). It would be nice to have an option (as a user or via Sana) to copy such webstores.
5 votes[SANA PRODUCT] We are aware that the data portability for data in Sana leaves room for improvement. This contains not only data in Sana Admin – such as shop accounts – but also settings and configuration. We are aware of that and prioritize the different data sources based on our customer feedback. We have data portability on our radar, and will work on further improve this in the future.

"Child menu items" content element for flexi pages
The "child menu items" make the presentation of categories/sub-categories very easy; but only for navigation menu items.
For flexi pages we need to manually create "children" that we want to present under a common topic. This is time consuming.
It would be very handy and time saving if we could use the "child menu items" in flexi pages.
1) Create the landing pages of the "children".
2) Add an image for each "child" like when editing a "Menu item".
3) Add the "Child menu items" content element in a new "parent"-flexi page.
4) Add the "children"-flexi pages, we have created…6 votes -
