Kryptronic Software Support Forum

Kiwi,

You can add a "View Website" link yourself.  I posted a quick how-to for adding shortcuts to the backend menu here: https://forum.kryptronic.com/viewtopic.php?id=17375

The release of this mini update is much closer to weeks than months or years.

No problem.  I would rather give harder estimates, however this community tends to burn me when I don't get them right.

Hooray!  I was just talking with my client about making the no-login checkout happen for his site...  I was trying to figure out a way to modify the existing code, and it was not pretty...

thanks for your updates, nick!

Something I think the software needs desperately is the ability to create custom invoices for a customer.  When someone calls the admin, or authorized account, should be able to add an invoice (and even modify one) to create a new invoice or add and remove items from an invoice.  Almost all major shopping carts allow the admin(s) to create custom on the fly invoices for customers.  I don't understand why CCP doesn't have this function.  That and the ability for a customer to select an unpaid invoice and pay for it at anytime.

Our company needs the create an invoice for a client account really bad though.

Agreed - it would be great if CCP had a point-of-sale (POS) interface.

The method being deployed in the update does not compromise the security of order data.  It does loosen global group-based security on the checkout and order namespaces which requires additional security within those namespaces themselves based on order variables.  Have no worries - CCP will still be as secure as ever.  The security aspect is what delayed the release of this function initially.

Are we any close to this update? I'd LOVE to be able to offer checkout without requiring creating an account. That is a major issue with most of my clients.

Thats a real shame that its causing issues. I thought it would too, but ever since implementing the new cart 2 weeks ago, our sales have increased, and the registering an account doesn't seem to be causing an issue at all

You're talking about Christmas 2007 right?

Which is good for going around in circles,  with it pop out !! menus which gets annoying after a bit.  “Can these be switched off,”?.

Oy, they're driving me insane also.  Unfortunately there isn't much we can do (see last two posts on this thread by myself and Nick:  https://forum.kryptronic.com/viewtopic.php?id=15107)  He does promise the new admin menus won't be so annoying though.

I don't see any place for pre-sales questions on CCP6 so I guess I'll post this here.

I'm shopping for an ecommerce solution and debating whether I should buy the software outright and run it on my own server or buy a ecommerce server based solution from one of the big mainstream ecommerce hosts.

Two of the big ones have ONE-PAGE checkout, AND they do not force customers to register. The later is a must have for me.

All the supposed "experts" in marketing say that non-registered purchasing is a must or else you will lose business from people who don't want to register.

They also say that ONE-page checkout reduces chances of abandoned carts and appears to be a lot simpler to customers. As an online customer myself, I have to say I prefer one-page checkout too.

So this is very tempting for me. But I'll hold off on purchasing something else if I know that the non-registered user option will be available soon and if there are plans for a one-page checkout option down the road.

Another concern is the speed of this software. I see they chose punbb for their forum software which I also use BECAUSE of it's speed.

The backend (admin) doesn't seem to be as user-friendly as I would hope for but maybe that's just because I'm not used to it yet. Other admin areas I've seen have been more user intuitive.

I found two other pieces of ecommerce software in the same price range, both with a choice of registration and one with one-page checkout. But I'm concerned about their speed when the server gets busy. The server offering the CCP6 hosting seemed to have run very slow to me. I don't know if it's a server problem or the code. Does anybody use this software that has say 50 - 100 sales a day that really tests the performance and can report back about it?

This shopping for ecommerce software is a real labyrinth and I hope I can get more info from anybody about my concerns above. I need to make a decision in the next couple weeks. Choosing the right product is a big deal. I've chosen the wrong product in the past too many times.

PS: Nick, you want to share your KHXC skin with the punbb community?

So, does anyone know if this is typical behavior for Kryptonic to go silent when they're behind on a release schedule?
