Does anyone have a nice menu system (rather than re-invent the wheel) as ICS does not have one by default, which is shame.

If you bought one for ICS from one of the resellers, will gladly give a free premium listing for a year as an exchange

Further to Chris’s comment about ‘Drop Shipping’

This would be ideal (if not already employed) if it also had the ability to get the product SKU code so the when sent to dropshipper, they would know exactly which product was ordered.

Hi Chris. Yes, we're planning to build dropshipping support. It's listed in the roadmap above too.

Hi Susan. It does. No release date yet but we're working as hard as we can.

Does that mean that if we purchased within the last 12 months that we will be able to upgrade for free? When will this new version be available?

Does the new version include a "drop shipping" function?

What I need is an e commerce system that I can use with selling products from vendors that provide drop shipping.

Can I easily do this with your system and can you talk about it?
I think a lot of people would like this feature.

Hi Carls. Yes it is, you can create as many as you like, add them to your navigation menu and even set one as the home page of your store.

Hi Chris. Actually 80% of the features came from ideas lab and the BigCommerce GetSatisfaction page. The features you mentioned are coming in version 6.5 and 7.0 later in the year.

Hi Pat. This is coming in version 6.

Hi Johan. Please listen to my recent podcast for details on why we haven't implemented multi language support yet: http://www.interspire.com/content/blogs/496/Interspire-Podcast-2-How-to-hire-super-stars-and-how-to-formulate-your-market.html

Hi Kevin. If you have maintenance (all purchases include 12 months free) then it costs nothing. If not, it's 50% of the current retail price for the edition you purchased.

What is the cost for upgrades for existing users?

Shipping labels will be a great add. The others aren’t really headaches for any of my clients currently as I can work around them pretty easily.

As an SEO company as well as Interspire partner, I’d love to see improvements to the sitemap xml creation (include ability to set priority and change frequency) instead of just the page URL.

Also… it’s funny you mention $500,000 and two years to wait for some of the more high priced packages out there. As someone who used to implement those systems before launching my own company as a partner with Interspire, I’ve never seen one done for even double that amount. You’ve greatly underestimated the cost of those high priced competitors.

Good to see some of these coming up, I thought some were included (me looking at too many systems).

Considering the taxing portion of ISC, I would like to see the ability to apply a per county surtax rate. In Florida we have multiple levels of surtax rates, when selling products, and can vary from .5% to 1.5% higher than the standard 6% state tax rate.

I’m really impressed.

When I started reading this article I thought you were going to talk about some clever little SEO tweaks to help put make our sites a bit more optimized for the search engines.

What I read was an insightful and well thought-out plan on how to make your shopping cart of much greater value to our clients. As a web designer who is focused on the business value of my clients websites this means a lot.

Keep up the good work.

The development of the shopping cart has been great, but I'm suprised at the planned release not including many features we have voted for that are far more popular than what is planned.
Eg, Ability to sell configurable products & custom product / site urls

Why are we coting in the Idea Lab is these top features are not going to be added?

Don't ge tme wrong the system is awesome but would like to see what we vote for included in future releases.

iphone template would be awesome! Let me know if you want a tester for it.

Just one question before buy it, is it possible to make a single plain page for content in case we have to explain some feature of a product?

Hi Mitchell, will affiliate program and gift voucher available for all ISC edition ?

Hi Gurty,

We are planning that down the track, after we've got the eBay integration out the door.

Hi Dave,

To be honest we haven't decided yet. I'll keep you posted.

By: Mitchell Harper

Mitchell Harper — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 04:48:06 +0000

Hi Jordan. Not for version 6, but you can add your own banners in design mode to the locations you mentioned. If you'd like us to build that feature feel free to vote for it on the ideas lab at http://ideas.interspire.com

Jordan Garis — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 23:09:31 +0000

Any updates to the content management portion of the shopping cart?

I'd like to see more "zones" for banners. Currently there is only top and bottom, but I think there should be atleast "Left Top, Left Bottom, Center Top, Center Bottom, Right Top, Right Bottom" so you can put banners on the sides too.

Dave Beck — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 17:18:52 +0000

hi Mitch,

Thanks for the update. The transparency is much appreciated.

In your BigCommerce version 6 announcement you spoke about a MailChimp integration. Will this not be included in Interspire shopping cart?

In the diagram, you have Amazon Marketplace listed there. Are there any plans to make it easier to push your products from ISC to Amazon?
