Private Labeling for Interspire Shopping Cart and Knowledge Manager, and More...

Private Labeling in Interspire Shopping Cart and Knowledge Manager

Hi everyone. After talking with hundreds of existing Interspire Shopping Cart/Knowledge Manager customers and *really* trying to figure out what our partners need to successfully sell a whole product solution to their customers, we've decided to remove the restriction on private labeling Interspire Shopping Cart and Knowledge Manager.

As of today, all copies of Interspire Shopping Cart and Knowledge Manager (including those already purchased) can be completely private labeled in both the public area and the control panel. This means you can remove our logo, "powered by" text, RSS feed, help links, etc - just like all of our other products.

And there's no additional charge to private label.

If you've already purchased the ability to remove the "powered by" link previously, please contact us and we can give you a credit towards future purchases. Private labeling is the cornerstone of our strategy, and will be a part of all current and new Interspire products going forward.

Reduced Price on Interspire Shopping Cart Ultimate Edition

We've dropped the price on the ultimate edition from $2,200 to $1,795. This price will of course be even lower for Interspire partners.

More Products in Interspire Shopping Cart Starter Edition

The starter edition of Interspire Shopping Cart now includes 50 products and not 20. Many of the customers we've talked to said that 20 products wasn't enough, and so we've upped that limit to 50. If you've already purchased the starter edition simply grab an updated license key from the client area and paste it into your settings page to go from 20 to 50 products in your store.

You've spoken, and we listened. We really appreciate the feedback.

Thanks,
Mitchell Harper

Peter Van Laer ( Author/Admin) said this on 08 May 2008 4:48:54 AM CST This is great news. The only thing holding me back from offering it to my customers was the lack off private label capabilities. Great work, now ISC is truly the most featured packed, cart solution available. yours sincerely, (Reply to this comment) (Cancel this reply) (Comment Replies Disabled)

Gavin ( Author/Admin) said this on 07 May 2008 4:43:04 AM CST I can't tell you how happy this makes us. We're making funding available right now so we can get behind this! Thank you for living up to your already incredible reputation and putting your customer squarely in the driver's seat!!! (Reply to this comment) (Cancel this reply) (Comment Replies Disabled)

Clint ( Author/Admin) said this on 08 May 2008 6:47:47 AM CST I'm still falling off of my seat as I type this. Private labelling was the reason that we first chose Interspire products but with that option removed with Interspire Shopping Cart we had to take a different path. Now, with private labelling, price reduction and better product restrictions we are back on board and ready to do business with Interspire. I think it's one of the best decisions you'll make! We spoke, you listened - that's cool. (Reply to this comment) (Cancel this reply) (Comment Replies Disabled)

John Chartres ( Author/Admin) said this on 07 May 2008 5:51:32 AM CST Good stuff Interspire, I bet that was a tough decision to make and I'm really glad you took a step back on your aggressive marketing strategy. Kudos. I would like to know if you will be removing the cross-promotional panels in the new control panel?...or at least making a setting to remove this. It is quite off putting having Interspire's blog feed etc right on the admin home page because it kind of makes ISC feel like a third party service rather than a privately hosted web application.

Nola ( Author/Admin) said this on 07 May 2008 7:33:05 AM CST Thanks for the great changes. I, like many, said goodbye to Ebay and started my own store. I don't often have more than 20 items to sell but a few times I did. The ability to sell 50 items is perfect. Mucha Thanks (Reply to this comment) (Cancel this reply) (Comment Replies Disabled)

Brian Burrow ( Author/Admin) said this on 13 May 2008 12:29:41 PM CST How do we now private label the Knowledge Manager? will there be a button to turn off the 'powered by' links? Or will we need to get into the code? (Reply to this comment) (Cancel this reply) (Comment Replies Disabled)

Mitchell Harper ( Author/Admin) said this on 19 May 2008 8:39:43 PM CST Hi Brian. We'll have a private label guide for Interspire Knowledge Manager updated and uploaded within a few days. For now it's a matter of making a few small changes to the code. It doesn't take any longer than 5 minutes. (Reply to this comment) (Cancel this reply) (Comment Replies Disabled)

Ryan Dahl ( Author/Admin) said this on 15 May 2008 10:27:43 AM CST Hey ... just letting you know that there are customers out there who are not just interested in the Shopping Cart. I'm eagerly waiting some more improvements and developments in ArticleLive. Would love to see a blog about what is happening there.

Mitchell Harper ( Author/Admin) said this on 19 May 2008 8:36:42 PM CST Hi Ryan. Sure thing. Interspire Website Publisher (formerly ArticleLive) is about 50% through the next release so although we can't post anything yet, I will be putting together a "sneak peek" in a few short weeks.

Jonathan ( Author/Admin) said this on 17 May 2008 5:30:44 AM CST Well done Interspire. I raised my own private labelling issues via a ticket, shortly after IKM was released, - so it's great to see you're listening to new and existing customers. Make sure you keep this private labelling model with SendStudio! Cheers. (Reply to this comment) (Cancel this reply) (Comment Replies Disabled)
