There are a lot of improvements made into V2.5. The page editor has been completely rewritten in JQuery. As a result you will notice a significant performance improvement when using page editor. Blog module has been enhanced as well. We added new blocks such as Tag Cloud, Article Archive, Recent Comments etc.

Visitor source capture has been improved in V2.4. If you use Google Analytics to track your site trafic, this matches with GA to capture visitor source without any configuration. When visitor registers or places order, the source will be automatically recorded. You can then run report tool to show metrics.

In the new version 2.3 we improved one page checkout process. Now the step indicator can guide customer via the checkout process. If customer is not happy with the one-page checkout, he can switch back to the regular multiple-page checkout.

In the new version 2.2 we added new features such as page group, SEO improvement, multi select product attribute, digital downloads, user referrers and two new server blocks: download button and content group list.

Forums module has been created on top of DotShoppingCart CMS platform. Our DotShoppingCart Forums have also been migrated to the new Forums module.

In version 2 we added a new page designer with pre-built server blocks and a CMS framework. The eCommerce now becomes a module of the CMS framework. 

You could create email campagin and send promotion emails to the mailing list such as news letter subscribers.

If your store has a huge amount of products in each category you want the hot and popular products to be shown first when customer browses. It's fairly amount of work to keep product ordered by popularity manually. In this version we implemented a way to update popularity based on product sale number and click count automatically. When customer browse into categories the top popular products are always shown first.

If your store has return policy you usually ask customer to call for return and assign a RMA#. To free up some work of your customer service we added online return management feature. You configure the return policy such as accept returns within # of days after sale, percentage of restocking fee etc. Customers submit return request via "My Account" on the website. Both store admins and customers get email confirmation. Customers can track return status in "My Account". View Demo

After customer placed order store admin sometimes needs to change the order either because customer might call into to add more items or store admin need to change prices or add discount etc. The new order edit feature is very flexible and also track product stocks as well. All the changes are recorded in the order notes for future reference.

If you need to charge recurrently or run a subscription based business this feature is very handy. You mark the product as recurring product. When customers buy the product the order becomes recurring order automatically. The payment happens the recurring cycle that you defined in the product setting. If customer cancels order the last payment cycle is prorated.

These promotion features are implemented in this version. Check screenshot for more details.

There are two places that cross sell products are shown to customers.

• In product detail page there are product recommendations such as custom also bought, might also like similar products etc. View Screenshot
