We have added several new features in our latest release. You can watch a video on them below.

The homepage has added two new features. You can now add bottom content to the homepage. We also made the homepage a template layout to give you full control over the placement of any section.

Your CoreCommerce Development Team

We have released several new features into CoreCommerce. Again most of these have come at the request of our customers. We greatly appreciate all of your feedback. If you have any great ideas please share them with us, either by submitting a support ticket or by submitting them in the forum under “Feature Request”.

• Free Shipping coupons are now available. You can offer free shipping coupons to your customers. This feature has been studied online by many experts and has shown to greatly increase customer conversions.
• Overhaul of the real-time shipping and tracking. You can now use real-time package tracking to bring live tracking to your website, when using shipping methods other than real-time shipping. Previously the only way to receive real-time package tracking was you had to use real-time rate quotes. This is not the case anymore. So if you are using sub-total method for shipping and you send packages via UPS, you can click on configure next to real-time shipping carriers to setup just real-time package tracking for UPS. Just a reminder support UPS, FedEx and USPS real-time package tracking.
• Content pages can now be associated with membership groups. This way only certain membership groups like wholesalers could see these specific website pages.

• If you only ship to a few locations in a specific area, you can now restrict shipping by zip code. This will allow you to guarantee your customers are in your shipping zone before they place an order. This is typically used for companies who sell food, flowers or local items.
• When creating a product or editing a product we added a “Save and Add New” button. This will eliminate some clicks and save time when adding products.
• On the call/email for pricing feature, we now display the SKU on the product detail page.
• If you use product options with pricing, you can now choose to allow prices to display as a range of low to high or just the base price for products with options on the product list page.
