CubeCart 3 Features


Al Brookbanks

Recommended Posts

CubeCart 3 will have all the features of CubeCart 2 with the exception of the backup feature which has been removed. This is because there are already free advanced database tools available such as phpMyAdmin which we highly recommend.

CubeCart 3 has been completely written from scratch and it is now about 55% complete at the time of writing this but development is fast! We estimate a beta release in late February 2005.

It has been written to work on servers with "Register Globals" set to off. Superior coding standards means that it will be more secure, modular and efficient.

The Feature List

  • HTML Templates - Now you can customise your store with absolutely no php knowledge. An array of templates will be available over time.
  • Inventory stock control - Option to allow sales of items that are out of stock or not i.e. Order or Buy.
  • Multiple categories per product.
  • Unlimited product images.
  • Unlimited levels of sub categories.
  • Powerful cross browser rich text editor - Used with kind permission of Frederico Caldeira Knabben at http://www.fckeditor.net
  • Bulk Emailer - Emails can be downloaded as a text file or bulk email sent directly though the administration panel its self. The rich text editor can be used to build powerful vibrant emails (See screen shots in the previous topic). There is a built in unsubscribe facility and the email can be sent at text, html or multipart format.
  • Plug and play shipping & payment gateways - Simply upload the module you wish to use for your store and configure it. We expect this to result in a boom in the amount of possible gateways and shipping methods.
  • Ability to handle digital downloads - This can be anything from digital music to software.
  • Unlimited store administrators - Superusers and users. Users can be granted specific permissions (read/write etc...) and unsurprisingly superusers have access to everything.
  • Automated copyright removal for customers.
  • Improved language support - added 19:04 6th Jan.

Other features such as testimonials and product reviews will be added depending on progress. If they are not released in 3.0.0 they will be in a future version.

I think thats everything. Please note that these features are subject to change without notice.

An upgrade script will be released to modify CC2 to CC3 but this will not be available with the beta release.

Once CubeCart 3.0.0 is stable we aim to release 3.1.0 with built in ticket support system.

Please note that current customers will be able to upgrade and have copyright removal. Whether CubeCart 3 is freely available or pay per download is still undecided. This depends upon some unforeseeable circumstances.

We are also expecting a small rise in our prices upon release so we strongly recommend purchases prior to this.
