At the core of AbleCommerce is the CommerceBuilder® engine, a set of compiled .NET assemblies that provide an object framework for ecommerce transactions. The objects provide a friendly interface to link web scripts to the database. This framework is extremely flexible and well documented to make it simple for merchant developers to create a truly custom shopping experience.

  

CommerceBuilder® is written completely in C#, one of the most widely used .NET languages. AbleCommerce is designed specifically for use with the .NET 2.0 or .NET 3.5 frameworks. It is also written to work properly within ASP.NET Medium trust, which is necessary for many common shared hosting environments.

 

On the scripting side, we have employed a new web design framework built on extensions of ASP.NET Themes and Personalization features. Using this framework, merchants can make many modifications to the store without sacrificing the ability to upgrade to new versions of AbleCommerce. It also makes it easy to create, share, and install new themes that can completely change the look, feel, and behavior of a store.
