1. My most preferred add-on at the moment is my own QuickLink:
http://www.acorns.com.au/projects/bv/quicklinkI use it every day whenever I have to write a support email either to generate some cool signatures and promote my products or to give customers details about the products without having to open the website and copy/paste links and descriptions.
2. I'm writing a flexible ProductFeed engine. Basically if you register your site to shopping engines they generally request a product feed where you expose all your products and prices and other bits and pieces. (E.g.
http://www.bestgames.com...roviders/myshopping.aspx)
Now, writing one is easy, writing 10 different feeds is a pain in the back. I just finished (it's not deployed yet) a nice adding that all you need to do is tell it what columns you want exported and how to format them. If they shopping engine requires 10 columns you basically have to write .. 12 lines of code and you’re done. Quite nice to save time.
3. On top of this I've wrote a POS (Point-Of-Sale) system that is using the BVC infrastructure to do orders from a computer (preferable with a touch screen). I use it in my shop at the moment. It prints receipts, it has LayBy, returns and other bits and pieces. It fully integrates with my website, inventory, special offers and all bvc stuff.
4. I’m working on a proper template-ing engine that will allow you to write some really cool and complex email/print templates.
5. I finished a nice integration with my courier company that allows me to neatly publish on my site the tracking information they provide (http://www.bestgames.com.au/Shipping/CouriersPlease.aspx?id=13700000461)
6. Regarding templates at the moment I have my tax invoices, some nice notifications, credit card charge failure notifications, and packaing slips that print the barcode of my orders so all I do after I finished packaging I get the barcode reader and do a loop: scan order barcode, scan shipping coupon, scan order bacode, scan shipping coupon. It takes about 30 seconds per order to create the package with the correct tracking code.

Mitch, I can send you my notification emails. Very small and clean while also informative.
