Is where we have currently existing manuals. More to be added shortly.
Please ignore references to the old name of the system if you notice one in a Wiki page, these are being worked on.
It is in the read-only mode at the moment, but community access will be enabled in the future.

osCommerce-Official got a reaction from aisonet in Payment methods
osCommerce v4 will come with a number of payment methods. It is being debated now which ones will be included into the "box" installation and which ones will be moved to be apps (free or paid), so the list below is to be confirmed.
Payment methods split in two major groups - online and offline.
Each sale channel (front end or virtual) may have a number of specific payment methods assigned to it; one and the same payment method can be assigned to more than one sale channel, and in that case the settings of such payment method can be made completely different for different sales channels.
Payment methods (same as shipping methods) can be present in the system but be not installed, or activated, or linked to a particular country or region. In that case they will appear in the back end (corresponding filters to be set) but not in the front end.
Payment methods can be also linked to particular customer groups only.
Payment methods can be made available to particular parts of the system. So there could be payment methods only available to wholesale clients, or only to back end users for example.
Offline payment methods are currently as follows:
COD (Cash on Delivery)
COD for POS
Credit Card for POS
Cash
Collect
Purchase Order (likely to be used by customers paying on account)
Offline payments (general offline payment method)
It is possible to easily extend this list and add more offline payment methods, they mostly act as placeholders and are mostly used to record the fact of payment and then run analytics on what methods customers used to pay.
Online payment methods are currently as follows (in no particular order):
SecurePay
BrainTree
Authorize.net
PayPal (various implementations, including Express checkout)
Klarna checkout (likely + online finance!, to be confirmed)
Poli
WorldPay
SagePay
Recurly (to be confirmed)
SecPay
Pay by Amazon (to be confirmed)
MultiSafePay
Layby
Humm by FlexiFi (online finance!)
Global Payments (former Realex)
LiqPay
OxiPay
It is very likely that some of the above modules will be moved to a new category Online Finance before the release of osCommerce v4
UPDATE:
Stripe is also available as a payment module!, thanks @14steve14 for pointing this out!

osCommerce-Official got a reaction from wettset in Multiple Design Templates and built in Designer
osCommerce v4 is coming with support for Multiple Design Templates and built in Template Builder.
Template management doesn't require any PHP coding, and is done via the back end of the website.
It is possible to create, import, and export multiple design templates. This opens ways for professional designers and developers to offer their osCommerce templates for sale in the future App Marketplace - announcements to follow.
Design templates are managed and modified via the back end of osCommerce, using a special built in Designer.
It is possible to edit template settings in several ways (visual editor and CSS editor).
It is possible to add, move, and delete various widgets from any page of the osCommerce website.
Additionally, all documents (invoices, packing slips, emails) can be edited if required.
It is also possible to create copies of the existing pages. For example, there can be 2 or more product pages, and different products can be assigned different designs of the product page.
Support for Responsive design is implemented, as well as an additional optional Mobile view for each template.
The system allows both professional designers and end users (i.e. shop owners) change the look and feel of the osCommerce online store without going deep into the code or even without HTML knowledge. Of course designers and developers are able to modify widgets or create new widgets to extend functionality of osCommerce v4
Have any comments or questions? - please feel free to post them here.
Interested in becoming a Beta tester - sign up via the Contact Us form on osCommerce.com website to be added to the list, get notified about the releases quicker, and get access to the Beta version as soon as it becomes available.
Would you like to learn how to create beautiful osCommerce templates and offer them on this website to shop owners? Sign up via our Contact page. Watch this space!

osCommerce-Official got a reaction from wettset in Menu Editor
Menu is a totally new concept in osCommerce v4 that comes built in and "out of the box".
Instead of website menu being effectively a copy of the category tree in previous versions of osCommerce, in version 4 we have created a totally separate entity for menus, which can be embedded into any part of any page.
And so, Menus are managed from a special section of the back end:
You can switch between different menus existing in the system or create a new one.
It is possible to export and import menus, to move them between websites.
A menu is a list of a tree of choices. Each menu item can have its own name, link (if not predefined link to one of the website's pages), and style class:
So, it is possible to rename categories as they get added to the menu, or even have the same category more than once in the menu.
Besides categories and brands, It is also possible to add links to website's pages (like Shopping cart, Contact, etc), to the content pages (like About, Privacy policy, etc), or to a completely random URL (custom link).

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.

osCommerce-Official got a reaction from Guest in Loyalty or Bonus points
Loyalty (or bonus) points program can help merchants encourage their customers to place repeat orders.
osCommerce v4 is coming with Loyalty points program feature (likely to be an add-on).
Every product can have two points values - the amount it "costs" in points, and the amount it can give the customer if the customer buys it.
Value of points the customer can gain by buying this or that product can be displayed on product info pages and product listings too.
During the Checkout, existing customers can see their balance in points and choose to redeem certain amount of points, using loyalty points as a payment method.
Points can be checked, and edited in the back end for each customer.
Further developments may include some more advanced promotional mechanisms that will involve loyalty points.

osCommerce-Official reacted to sackling in osCommerce v4 demo
Thanks so much for the demo today, I really appreciate you taking the time to show it off.
I saw some really nice features that would certainly be considered enterprise or at the very least, require a lot of add-ons/apps and customization to achieve with some of the more popular ecom cart platforms out there right now.
multiple storefronts, multi-currency, full multi language (checkout pages too, looking at you shopify), different pricing per currency/customer - all of those features are either required or highly wanted from a platform but I was not able to find anything that seemed as robust (maybe Magento has this but it is a much bigger beast).
That being said I still am very curious to see how things run in reality, especially when loaded with many SKUs/attributes. How quickly it is able to run on a shop with approximately 100,000 SKUS will ultimately be very important to me.
I look forward to having the actual code to play with and test.
