Basic : its a customisable contract UI
you can only create a storefront for a corporation. Its very much like a store :) the UI is very easy to use and the customisation options are suitable.
you can view a corporations "store" via the contracts system and you are greeted with their front page. you can then select their sub categories and view contracts based on how they categorised their store.
you can only currently create Item exchange, freeform or loan contracts within each sub category.
It will be very usefull for traders who want to take a more flexible approach to their contracting and should help build up a more buisness feel to contracting. It is a very nice addition. there is a few addition which would make this feature much more than it is and hopefully there will be some small changes before it goes live.

Edited by: CCP Lingorm on 13/10/2008 16:39:44 Edited by: CCP Lingorm on 13/10/2008 16:38:56 This is the 1st iteration of Store fronts.
We are nearly finished iteration 2 on the functionality of them.
Essentially they are a customised view of selected Contracts issued by your corporation. So that people can see what you have available, they also allow you to sell packages and build a relationship with you customer.
The new functionality that we are still working on allows what we are calling 'Offers'. This Means I can 'Offer' a f.e. Raven for 100mil, but not have to commit that Raven to the contract. You can then come along and take up the offer of the Raven, at which point an item exchange contract for 100mil for a Raven is created from you to my corp. I can then accept the offer and the raven is delivered to your hanger. Also note the Offer is still available in the Store Front for others to take up.
This will also allow corps actually build to order through the store front offer system. We think offers are going to make a big difference to Store Fronts and building better markets.
Store fonts are only available to Corps.

Is there any possibility that the next stage of this is corp branding? Where a raven from one corp is slightly different than a raven from some other corp? __________________________________

Any talk of opening this up on an alliance level? Any talk of opening this up to specific other alliances corps based on standings?
ie a store front is opened. A storefront is opened as either corp only, alliance, or anyone. Could be configured so that +5 standings are required.
So this way someone could buy a bs from the corp using refined mins, order a cap ship from the alliance (another corp in the alliance set to offer to alliance), and buy the fittings from an empire alt manufacturing corps.

We MAY introduce new skills to allow for more Contracts, but we are still looking into this.
As far as I am aware there are no additional skill requirements for this. But CCP Fendahl will answer all of these definitively in the forth coming blog.

Given that for almost every imaginable item, there is already so much of that item on the market that no one purchaser would ever need to buy the whole lot at once, why would anyone want to bother with 'buy to order', in such a cumbersome way? It's slower, requires waiting for the producer to come online and is limited by contract skills, when people can already create region-wide buy orders that anyone can fill.

With contracts being as terrible as they are now, why build the storefront system using them as a foundation?
As for offers, it sounds like a reverse auction, but limiting this to one corporation defeats the whole purpose. Reverse auctions are meant to draw competition and lower the final price of an item, and depending on the mechanics it could be either tightly restricted or wildly abuseable.
If money has to be put in escrow for the initial offer, a buyer is at the mercy of the sellers who might make additional demands to fulfill the deal, or else let the buyer's money stay locked up.
If money *doesn't* need to be put into escrow, then the buyer can put an offer up and then never follow through with the deal, leaving the sellers holding the bag for goods they might not otherwise have produced/obtained specifically for the deal.
Either way, an item exchange contract does the same job and is more open to competition. It's too bad the contract interface sucks, making the attempt to find such a deal a bigger PITA then it's worth. //// ---------=== []= ---------=== \\\\ Rifter(RedBad)

First off, even as a veteran pvp'er, this is a really cool feature with a lot of potential I think for the industrial side of Eve :) Since this is still in the development process, can I make two requests?
1. Remove freeform contracts from the game. I really cannot find a viable purpose for their existence anymore, can anyone else? 2. Remove the ability for linked contracts to be re-written. The amount of raven-haha-not-a-CNR spam in Jita is, quite frankly, deplorable.
Also, will there be an corp/alliance-only storefronts? This would be handy (and I imagine not that hard to setup, since current contracts allow for this functionality). Keep up the good work, looks like a kick-arse feature!!!

Visit 0.0.
If storefronts can be configured by standings, this will be a godsend for pvpers.
Currently the process to buy stuff is usually to either visit Jita or to know someone that knows someone that will be online in a few hours that has some of the stuff to build what you need. Anything on the market is either way overpriced or not quite what you need.
A market only works when there is enough volume so that one person cannot monopolize the supply.
Originally by: Kazuo Ishiguro
We already have an extremely efficient and powerful market, and as long as we don't have distinct items, we don't need to distinguish between sellers for any rational reason.
The seller matters as often corps will sell stuff at cost to the members.
Even in alliances there is often a system to get expensive t1 or t2 stuff for at or below cost on a first come, first serve basis.
A corp wants to see who needs what. A corp might have a large stockpile of bpcs and mins but it only wants to create battleships as needed. So the seller wants to limit the orders to those with good standings. The buy orders are problematic as there will be a price for corp members, another for alliance members, another for coalition members, and yet another price for neutrals.
Currently this system is usually managed by mailing list and out of game web pages with price lists. The storefront concept looks to be a nice improvement.

Kaz, I agree to a certain extent, but that's because a raven is a poor example. I can see this being possible for capital ships. They take months to train so the 3 week time period from start to completion is not much by comparison. You don't see too many cap ships on the market. Many producers of carriers/dreads build to order, and this system should help nicely.
Are these Storefronts going to be only for internal corp/alliance sales, or will I be able to use them to sell to the public. It just seems that cap ship sales today on the WTS forum rely on bundling in mods and fighters to lure customers. This could be just what I need to generate some sales in Metropolis. -------------------

Oooo! Nullsec market buff.
This is a wonderful tool to help simulate the normal market mechanics for transactions within a corp/alliance. It allows an industrial wing to provide product to a pvp wing without market-pvpers screwing with the values.
Whats important is if they can limit access by corp/alliance/standings.

I would prefer to see storefronts tackled more flexibly through the API (and thus corporate websites) rather than as a new GUI feature hard-coded into the game. Right now, we can view only finished public contracts for other pilots and corporations; adding an option to see current public contracts would cover much of the same ground as these storefronts.
"Offers" sound a lot like sell orders on the market and thus seem superfluous for items that can be sold on the market; for non-market items, this sounds like an improvement to contracts that doesn't require a whole new "storefronts" system.
If storefronts (i) require offices and (ii) are widely adopted, this will be a royal pain in the [body part] for consumers who like one-stop shopping at Jita IV-4 CNAP now, since there is a small, hard cap on the number of stores in that station.
Disclosure: I already have a storefront to sell faction modules; it's homemade (http://twrch.org/eve/divs/contracts.shtml, designed for use in game, viewable out of game).

This "offer" feature is quite cost-efficient for items, costing over 500 mil and more. What I'm talking about are the selling taxes and fees, what are deducted when you put up a market order or contract. As I speculate, the selling taxes and fees are deducted only on actual sale. If all of this is true, then I speculate that the "Offer" feature would actually save a lot of ISK for capital- and high-value traders |

Having standing based and/or Corp/Alliance only storefronts would greatly increase my enjoyment of this game ... being able to set 3 prices (public, corp, alliance), either as seperate items or 3 offers, for the items I can manufacture would make that part of the game a bit more "real" for me :)

Edited by: Ris Dnalor on 15/10/2008 05:54:38 Aye, let us set separate prices ( or refuse to sell all-together) based on good/fair/neutral/poor/bad/standings. That would be truly a useful tool for getting products out cheaply to allies as well as providing a good way to buy components form friendlies at a premium rate you would not want to extend to just everyone.
EDIT: hmmm I'm agreeing with a post by archbishop... this is disturbing indeed.

Very cool indeed! While I dream of the new features I'll continue to dream and re-iterate what some others have said. It would be wonderful to have the ability to modify the price of all items in your storefront based on the buyer's standing.
Either per item where you can set: BasePrice + (standing from -10 to +10) * ModifierPrice For example 10M base price and 100K ModifierPrice gives a price range from 9M to 11M.
Or for the entire storefront at once via a percentage so you get: BasePrice * (100 + PercentModifer * (standing from -10 to +10))% For example 10M base price and 1% Percernt Modifier gives a price range from 9M to 11M
This would really allow to do interesting things like give discounts to repeat customers, or gouge the enemy in times of war. Please please pretty please!

Is there going to be an easy way to set or update the price on multiple items easily? Such as a list view for all items in a category with an input box where you can update or change the price?
For example if I wanted to update my battleship prices weekly will I have to spend 2 hours individually going through every item and multiple screens each in order to update each store item, or can I just quickly go down a list and manually change the price and possibly sort by category.
Also is it possible to have a "suggested price" button which is linked to the mineral build cost and average market prices + a markup which you choose?
Finally I would also like to know if it would be possible to offer multiple price points based on alliance, corporation, or public orders.
Thanks! ---------------------------------------------- EvE Personality Test

Will this simply be a list of contracts that the corp has (and I assume uif you have certain corp privileges that you can create a "storefront" contract?) or will you be able to "design a webpage" for the storefront?
(Obviously webpages themselves in game would suck but can you use a structed type language to design a webfront, etc)

You gotta be able to have inter-corporation options for storefronts. Would be an awesome addition to a system which people have just been trying to get by with for a long time.

Having not tested this on SiSi I have a few questions.
For the purposes of this post, me = my corp.
How will my "customers" find my "store"? Do they have to browse the contracts window or is there some way to advertise my offers aboard a station?
Say I want to sell stacks of ammo in a mission hub for x isk. Also say my offer is in some way better than the ones on the market. How would my potential customers find that out and not just buy whatever is on the market instead?

List of useful additions to storefronts. 1. Be able to create sections within a store that are accessible according to the relationship a customer has with the corp running the store (ex. Alliance Only, Public, Corp Only, Above Set Standings...) 2. For inter corp stores be able to set some way that roles are taken into account (ex. You must be this role or this role in order to purchase this item) 3. An option to set different prices for items if it is not possible to break stores down into sections. 4. Or an option to set percentage discounts based on relationship to the corp running the store 5. Be able to set discounts on individual items (ex. Sale, Clearance...) 6. Have some visual customization to the storefronts (ex. Descriptions for store, run wild with ideas here) 7. Have there some way that informs would be customers and users of the classic market interface that your store exists and that you sell those items as well. (ex. Changes to market interface, in space billboards...) 8. Generally there has got to be something that gives the ability for a corp to add a personal touch and establish a relationship with customers in order to beat out the MARKET JUGGERNAUT

Awesome !!!
I have another question :
If i use storefront, and make a store, there will be the location of the store ? And could i open 2 or 3 store in different locations ?
That way it will be an option to buy stuff from a corporation in a certain constellation for example. Leading the way for a new concurency in solar systems, constellation and regions.
By the way, it will be appreciated to have an option to choose store by security system, it will be a good thing to check faster items in high security zone, without see all the low and 0.0 items.
Plz, detail all the options available, it's the most exciting news on market since i started eve !

Awesome, I remember that controlling who you do business with has long been matter of concern. Also echoing:
Originally by: Archbishop
Will this be something where we can designate certain corporations have access? It would be nice to be able to sell to allies at discounted prices for T2 and stuff without dumping everything on the market.
Overall a great idea.

i think this is a very nice addition and will help industrialist like myself that have a large variety of bpo and t-2 items. It will help players that are looking for a way to buy from contracts without worrying about scams at least after they have seen i have no "navy ravens" for 200mill..... I would like to see a mineral and ore purchase feature as well included
