ProductCart v4.0 Service Pack 4

ProductCart Service Pack 4We just released Service Pack 4 for ProductCart v4.0. It addresses some issues and introduces some improvements to the "One Page Checkout" system, while including fixes/improvements that were introduced after the release of Service Pack 3, and that had been previously posted to the "Just In" section of the Support Center.

Updated Google Analytics integration

Google AnalyticsWe were running late on this one, but have now upgraded the Google Analytics integration so stores can use the "new" tracking code (ga.js) instead of what Google calls the "legacy" code (urchin.js). The new tracking code provides additional features.

The ProductCart integration with Google Analytics supports:

  • General tracking
  • Tracking of e-commerce transactions
  • Ability to post adjustments for returned or canceled orders

For details, instructions, and to download the latest files, please refer to the Google Analytics section of the ProductCart WIKI.

ProductCart v4.1

ProductCart v4.1We are working on several new features for ProductCart v4.1, which is scheduled for release in June, 2010. Among them:

  • A substantially upgraded "Product Reviews" module that supports automated reminders (to write a review), more visibility for product reviews in the storefront, better management tools, and the ability to "Reward for Reviews", where the "Reward Points" feature set can be used for rewarding customers for reviewing products that they have purchased.

  • An upgraded "Content Pages" module that now allows for better control of the page creation/review process, including the ability to create drafts that can later be reviewed and published.

  • Ability to turn a Mojo Zoom-based image magnifier on/off at the product level, from the Control Panel.

  • Additional checks on inventory levels throughout the checkout process, so busy stores can better handle the sale of "almost out of stock" items (e.g. product goes out of stock while a customer has already started the checkout process: this scenario is now handled).

  • Lots of other new features, improvements, and bug fixes.
