Easily create, start, and stop sales on select products with ProductCart v4.5

Here is an overview of some of the new features and improvements that we introduced with version 4.5 of our ecommerce software. You can test the latest version of our shopping cart software on this demo store.

Sales Manager

The new Sales Manager for ProductCart allows you to easily start and stop a sale that affects select products

• Search for and select the products to be included (or select a category)
• Specify the discount using flexible options
• Enter sales details such as a name, description, and sale icon
• Preview and save the sale, then start it whenever you want
• Stop a sale and archive completed sales
• View orders placed for products included in the sale
• Create sales for the retail, wholesale, or any other price level configured on the store.

For a look at how the Sales Manager works, check out this video tutorial:

Early Impact Payment Gateway

A new payment gateway tightly integrated in ProductCart, and based on our experience of what merchants really need:

• Reduced PCI compliance requirements when using Three Step Redirect: your online store is no longer considered a “payment application”
• Tokenization of payment information: ProductCart never saves the credit card details
• Allow customers to save credit cards for future purchases, leveraging the secure, PCI compliant credit card vault
• Process refunds directly from the Control Panel
• Learn more about the Early Impact Payment Gateway >>

Other new features and improvements

  • Chart with number of orders in the last 30 days
  • Chart with new customer registrations
  • Pie chart with sales by product in the last 30 day

• Redesigned Control Panel
• AddThis integration: AddThis provides buttons that allow visitors to your store to easily share a page on a social network, through Twitter, via e-mail, etc. Check out this video tutorial that shows how this handy new feature works.

• USPS International Label API added: In addition to the Domestic USPS Shipping labels, we now have support for USPS International Shipping Labels.
• FedEx Web Services
• Export Orders for FedEx: this export tool allows you to export orders in a format that can be imported into the FedEx Ship Manager. This allows you to more quickly process shipment in the Ship Manager and print FedEx shipping labels (including shipping to a thermal printer).
• PDF Order Invoice: You can now generate and export order invoices and packing slip to Adobe Acrobat PDF files.
• Troubleshooting Performance Page that allows you to test performance using default file set to rule out customized code.
• Export to Bing Shopping (BETA)
• Improved the deletion of empty categories. The ability to delete the top-level category and all of its sub-categories when no products have been assigned has been added.
• A report was added to the system under “Reports > View Other Reports” that tells the store manager which “Write a Review Reminder” messages were sent, when they were sent, and more.
• Fixed performance issues and Improved the “Export Custom Order Data” reports
• New Shipping Settings:
  • Added a new setting to show/hide Estimated Delivery Information. Previously it was always shown.

  • Product-level Shipping Surcharges can now be imported using the Product Import Wizard
• Several improvements to the category scrolling box in the storefront search results: moved arrows to the left and added ability to control the arrow icons via the Control Panel. The box is now hidden is the search results only include one category.
• Allow Additional Product Views (images) can now be imported via Append/Update
• Increase character limit for Category description from 50 to 250.
• Fixed performance issues on the “Add Custom Search Field to Categories” page
• Added pagination to the “Previous Orders” page to avoid seeing performance issues when customer has too many orders.
