Hey Folks:

We have been working hard to add more features over this holiday season. We have added features such as an entire CRM (customer relationship manager) solution and UPS label printing.
Feature List:

• CRM  – You can have one centralized area of communication with your customers in your store admin area. Your customers can submit emails which automatically displayed in the admin area as a ticket. Any responses by the admin or customer will be logged and displayed in your admin area.

• SKU Display – You can choose whether to display your SKU number on the product detail page.

• Email Customers – If you are not using the CRM, you still can use the feature to allow you to send a quick email to your customer directly in your store admin when viewing any customer order.

• COD Fee – You can now add a COD payment fee. If you choose to do so this will be added to the shipping/handling charge for the customer.

• Preview Design Changes – You can preview any design changes for the widget design layout or the generic design layout before making any live changes to your website.

• Option Images with Parent/Child – You can now choose to have option images set at the parent level or child level. Previously you could only have the child level. This will allow you to have an image for the first drop down in parent/child option format, instead of the second choice. For example, this will allow you to have Color as your first drop down (which will determine the image based on the color selected by the customer) and size be the second drop down.

• Product Bundling – Allows you to group multiple products together in a bundle and apply a specific discount to the main product you are viewing. For example if you are viewing product A, you could create a product bundle where if you add to cart product X and Z you would get product A at 15% off.

• UPS Label Printing – You can print labels using UPS label printing directly in your admin interface. This tool though is a premium tool by UPS and requires you to be approved by UPS before you can use it. Not all customers will be approved by UPS. The directions on applying for this will be found during your setup for UPS labels in the store admin.

• Sage Payment Gateway Authorize First – Added the ability to choose just authorize first and capture later (in sage admin interface) or authorize/capture in 1-step.

• Product Import Pricing – When doing a product import you can now use the cost field in the import to create the product price/sales price. You must first have a cost column in the import, then you will set what percentage increase above cost you want to set the price/sales price. You can even choose to set the cents value at 99 or whatever amount you would like.

• Inventory Out Of Stock Level – You can specify what CoreCommerce deems out of stock. Typically this is 0, but this can be set to any value.

• USPS Label Printing Works With New Mail Types – We added the ability to print USPS labels for First Class Mail International and Priority Mail International, to go along with the regular domestic USPS options.

• Top Customer Report – You can view a quick report to see who are your top customers by any timeframe.

• Business Information on Order – On the order detail your business information displays in the admin area. You can now choose to turn this on/off.

• Dotted Borders – You can disable the dotted borders on the product and category pages on your store without having to into the css.

• Ebay Product Listing Update – When clicking on an eBay link from your store’s products, the name and description will be carried over to the create ebay product page.

• Tracking Numbers – With UPS and FedEx there is a new button to save the tracking number with the order.
• Pre Designed Templates –You can specify alt/title tags for logos and invoice logs for these templates in your template configuration page in the store admin.

• Negative Shipping Padding – Shipping padding can now support negative padding.

• Shopzilla Product Feed (admin/tools.php?m=product_feeds) – The popular Shopzilla product feed has been added.

• UPC Field – You can specify a UPC code for any product in addition to the SKU number

• Nofollow HTML attribute – You can have a content page add the nofollow HTML attribute. This HTML attribute tells search engines to ignore this link for search engine votes. This attribute doesn’t stop search engines from going to the page.

Thanks again!

Hey folks:

This our latest release with a few new features.

• Preview Emails – There is now a preview email when you are modifying a specific email. This way you can view the email you are editing immediately.

• Order Quantity Shipping Update – You can now specify up to 4 different methods to use with it versus only 1 previously.

• Email Auto-Responders – Add the ability to add the first name and last name of the customer through tokens.

• Printer Friendly Product Detail Page – This will allow you to have a print page link on your product detail page. If used, this would open a new window which would contain your product detail page without your header/footer template around it for a more printer friendly page.

• Default Quantity Value – For the product detail page, you can set the value for the quantity field (the default is 1). If you set a minimum quantity value for a specific product that would overwrite this global quantity value.

• Update to Handling Charge – You can now include the handling charge in the shipping rates on the view cart page and during checkout.

• BCC Emails – This is used if you would like to be copied on all of your customers email billing and ship-to email receipts.

• Detailed Sidebar Cart Widget – Added checkout button to the widget.

• Order Time – You can now turn on a setting to view the time an order was placed (ie 07:43am). This can be turned on by going to Settings, Order Processing, Order Settings.

• Subscription Billing – We added the ability for subscription billing to work with offline processing.

• Ebay Stores Fixed Price – We added Stores Fixed Price as an option when listing products with ebay. If you have an ebay store to go along with your CoreCommerce store this would put your ebay items in that store at your discounted ebay rate.

• PayPal Standard Gateway Update – When you are using PayPal standard currently just the order number is passed to PayPal. We updated this to pass the order items also to PayPal. If an order has a gift certificate being used or has a discount (ie coupon) then only the order number will be passed on those orders not the individual items. This is because PayPal standard currently does not support discounts at the line item level.

• Quickbooks Modification – You can now specify whether or not to send the country to Quickbooks for orders. You can also send the product name to Quickbooks as the line item description for invoices or sales receipts.

Thanks again!

Store owners have even more reasons to use CoreCommerce.  We now have integrated with ebay to allow you to post your products live on ebay.  This will open another sales opportunity for your customers.

Another new feature is being able to receive orders directly to your cell phone with text messaging.  Picture this; driving down the road on the July 4th weekend and then you feel a buzz on your hip, ahhh another order.  This is what you can do with CoreCommerce.

CoreCommerce is also now integrated with two more payment gateways like Payjunction and Payments Gateway.

We want to say thank you to our customers who always give us a great ideas and suggestions for all of the features listed above.
