Hinter den Türen des YiffyToys Shops.
Blog postings about improvements we made.
We are planning to add a number of additional products that can be build to order.
In preparation, we added a new attribute „build to order“ to filter only/none of the product that are manufactured to customer specifications instead of being instantly shipped from local stock.
In applying this new attribute we also edited the description of every custom made product to follow the same design and list the same details.
We are updating the shop module used for credit card payments to a new major version.
The update has been tested in our test system and we don’t expect any visible changed.
However if anyone experiences any issues. Please contact us.
Aparently there are some legal changes that the credit card module now must display co-branded credit card logos in the EU.
We also updated the shop system itself to a new patch-level. It doesn’t contain any visible changes and all security patches have already been applied before anyway.
Like the regular Duke II, the Duke II ejaculating (with a cum tube, detachable hose and syringe, especially for Cum Lube), used to be offered in plain Black for immediate shipment and custom made in any colouration people desire.
Since we have this toy for quite a while now, we change the default colours to the dark-red and black combinations that people most often order custom made.
Apart from credit cards and Paypal, you can always pay by SEPA money transfer.
In fact, for us this means there are no fees to pay.
In addition to the 1D barcodes we use ourself.
our invoices now include a 2D QR code that you can scan with your banking app to enter all the payment details without even having to do any copy&paste.
We couldn’t include it in the payment flow of the website yet.
Just the invoices.
But it’s a step forward.
Since we made new photos of the new Serpente Toy anyway,
we replaced photos of some older toys and made a ton of new size comparison photos.
We have new photos of:
and new size comparisons with
We cleaned up the manufacturer logos to have more similar sizes and changed the ordering for a visually pleasing view.
This is something we wanted to improve for a long time now.
We noticed a missing setting in our credit card payment provider.
Google Pay and Apple Pay wallets should now work.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
We updates the shop software to offer more option on how to sort the list of products.
So you have an easier time to find what you are looking for.
At the moment only „New Arrivals“ is added but after a while „Best Selling“ and „Most Viewed“ will also be offered.
These take a while to gather enough data.
We noticed that visiting the large categories in the shop with a mobile browser can be overwhelming.
So we added headers to the „species/canines“ category to aid in narrowing down the selection if you choose to. In mobile browsers these will be shown below each other instead of a horizontal row.
We have specifically chosen example products that highlight the large variety of different products that can be found.
We also added a number of additional yes/no product attributes to be used in filtering and advanced search.
Another thing we did was to update the general German translation of the shop as many words updated or added in recent updated where missing a translation yet.
Some German and English wording surrounding the use of filters and sorting have been modified to be easier to understand.
In the HTTP log we noticed a number of „404 not found“ errors and fixed them.
Turns out that if you visit a link (you don’t have a session yet) to an english category
and the shop automatically switches you to German (because your web browser says that you prefer German to English),
it will look for the English category name on the German server.
We added a number of redirects to fix this for all cases we could find.
there can still be some left over and we will keep our eyes open.
