osCommerce-Official

Hi Violet, not a problem at all, there will be one this week, will post about it shortly.

Steve, please refrain from advertising other shopping carts on this forum. We welcome all users of any software of course, and would appreciate new osCommerce v4 to be judged on its merits by its users. If you prefer to use another ecommerce software - that's absolutely fine, but you'll not be allowed to promote it here. Also, please be reasonable and factual about the other ecommerce software and its recent history with osCommerce - happy to have a chat with you to not make it a public emotional discussion if you like.

Sorry it's just finished! Will invite you to the next one!

Great! Please contact us via the contact form on the main website and we will send an invite for the tomorrow's demo.

We are aiming for mid summer for a beta version. Yes you can edit pages (content and design) from the back end and create multiple design templates. You can import and export product data in csv formats. There are certain sales reports built in, and if course full integration with Google tag management and analytics.

Edward, To answer your questions in general: - osCommerce v4 will be based on the latest version of the Ecommerce platform that has been in development for the last 5.5 years. Not sure about which instance you've seen, but osCommerce v4 will be based on the latest PHP for this year - PHP 8. There are no plans to have an Ecommerce platform competing with osCommerce on the same market after osCommerce v4 is released. - osCommerce v4 is a considerable difference to osCommerce v2 and other solutions, however we would not recommend investing time into learning of the previous versions of this Ecommerce platform. There could be differences in design templates, data structure, etc. There are currently no plans to move customers from their websites built using the previous version of the platform to osCommerce v4. - osCommerce v4 is, first of all, for this community of merchants, developers, designers, consultants, everyone. And of course it is for the world - for far too many years this great brand was not developing and it is time to bring it back to prominence.

Good evening! We're indeed changing the email software and need to move to mail chimp from what it was before. Hence the email.

Looking for contributors to the new osCommerce wiki. We need to create usable manuals, real-life "how to" instructions for merchants. We also need to create manuals for designers and developers. Please comment here to indicate your interest or contact us via the website. Thanks!

Loic, btw there's a whole lot of features under "Marketing / Promotions / Prices". Some of them can be quite interesting, and allow setting up special prices on a bulk load of products.
