does anyone know about eMagicOne store manager

[cqpbert]

I am looking to see if anybody has used or knows if it is safe to use the app called store manager by eMagicOne. It appears to allow more interaction with the store for things like managing orders. I wanted to try it since its free, but always cautious about letting things into my store.

I have no personal knowledge of this business or principal.

Doing a Business Records search shows the business has existed for a number of years, and the principal is involved with several LLCs, in the arena of web development.

I recall there being a third-party "store manager" for CubeCart3 (maybe it was for CC4) back in the day, possibly from a company called MagneticOne (a Ukrainian company with an office in Texas). They built an application (and variations thereof) that extracted data from a source (CRM, eCommerce, whatever) and delivered that data to a destination (some other CRM, eCommerce, whatever).

MagneticOne started doing a lot of other stuff, and so split off the (desktop) Windows App section to eMagicOne (re: 'Company History of MagneticOne').

Thanks B,

I will think about it more before I try it. I want to be able to export the order so I can import it into my current processing sheet. Unless there is some way to do that already?

Anything can be done. Just depends how far away one needs to get away from keeping the stock CubeCart code untouched.

Then there is Sales Reports. Plugins can be written to get whatever info you need.

You phrase the task as 'export the order'. Does that mean you need to provide specific details about one specific order at a time to import into some other data analysis tool?

I would love to be able to select orders from Processing orders, then maybe have in the dropdown for what to do, an entry to export order details.

The details would need to be order number, name, products ordered as it shows up when you open the order.

This can be a CSV file, or anything else if something is easier.

I have a "todo" spread sheet in google docs with all current orders and what is needed. Keep in mind I am manufacturing most stuff so this is not a simple go pull the stock and box it issue.

[bsmither]

You mention "select [specific?] orders"? Which might be only those most recent orders for that day or past 2-3 days? At most those orders made after your last data extraction?

Modules written for the Sales Report page can extract data on a 'whole day' basis.

If you would be interested in testing one already written, please send a PM with your email address.

Then again, I see the value in having among the choices in the drop-down selector, on the admin, Orders page, the new choice of "Extract to CSV".

I am going to do that -- see what it looks like.

I haven't personally used the eMagicOne Store Manager, but it sounds like a useful tool for managing orders and interacting with your store. Since it's free, it might be worth giving it a try. However, I understand your caution about adding new apps to your store.
Before installing it, you might want to do some research and look for reviews from other users to see if they have had positive experiences with it. You could also reach out to eMagicOne directly to ask about their security measures and how they protect user data.
If you're interested in exploring other task management tools, you can check out https://planfix.com/task-management/ for more options. Ultimately, the decision is yours, but it's always good to be cautious when it comes to adding new apps to your store.
