A Highly Flexible Ecommerce Platform

With so many 'off the shelf' packages that don't quite do what you want, we felt it was important to have a system that doesn't shoehorn your business into something else.

Have a look at our latest site for a worldwide retailer of Natural Deodorant, Alvin Connor.

Features are:

Website Control Panel

An easy to use control panel will allow you to:

• Add new pages
• Edit existing pages
• Add images
• Add news items
• Send newsletter
• See web stats
• Upload documents such as pdfs
• Add intranet pages

Shop Control Panel

• Configurable product catalog includes catalog pages and ability to display product categories.
• Flexible product creation system. Create normal products by default.
• Flexible product attributes system. Create user selectable attributes for your products that modify the price, SKU/model, and/or weight of items as the customer adds them to his or her cart. Set default attribute/option sets for each product class to easily create many similar products.
• Single page checkout. All checkout information gathered on a single screen composed of configurable checkout panes. Third party modules can define checkout panes to replace or add to the default set, making it easy to customize the checkout experience.
• Automatic account generation (anonymous checkout). Accounts and emails are automatically generated based on the customer's e-mail address. (Optional setting allows customers to specify account names and passwords in checkout.) For return customers, previously used addresses will be listed on the checkout page for easy access.
• Simple order processing. The order administration screens have been designed by and for our salesmen. We believe there is always room for improvement and will try to make it happen! Order screens use the "pane" model, so the screens are configurable and extensible to accommodate a wide variety of e-commerce applications.
• Simple order creation and editing. Easy to create orders manually for customers, adding products, shipping prices, etc. from a single screen. Line items system makes it easy to add fees, discounts, and coupons to orders.
• Bulk discounts and offers.  Set up discounts based on volume ordered.
• Affiliate programs. Set up and affiliate program, allow users to become affiliates
• Integrated payment system that acts as a bridge between acceptable payment methods (check, credit card, cod, etc.) and payment gateways (Cyber Source, Authorize.net, PayPal, etc.). Configurable payment processing and tracking, and easy to use credit card terminal with varying levels of access.
• Activity logging. Enable logging to see all the changes made to an order, including payment processing. (Your accountant will love this!)

Language Module

A language/internationalisation module will allow specified editors to provide translations of page content. A library of terminology will be utilised for each language making the translation process easier for each editor. Language icons will be provided on the home page so that visitors can select from one of the available languages.

Social Networking Integration

The CMS will allow integration with two of the main social networking sites:

Twitter

• Associate one or more Twitter accounts with their user account
• Have their tweets displayed in a sidebar block or on their user profile, and
  Post to their own Twitter account or a site-wide Twitter account whenever they create new content.

Facebook Feed

Pull in your Facebook posts and show them as a feed

Web stats

Simple web stats will be available via the control panel and it will be possible to view:

• Number of unique visitors by day, month, year
