Easily Add and Manage Multiple Stores

The AbleCommerce Master menu is where all your stores are managed and configured. Each store can be setup to run on it's own website, and use it's own set of store design templates. In a multiple store scenario, you can setup a single store in it's own database, or even share a database between many stores. There are easy to use menus for connecting new databases, a store import wizard (shown in example), custom gateways, and more.

Security Features NEW 5.5 FEATURE

We know how important security features are in the ecommerce business, and AbleCommerce can provide you with the tools needed to secure user's managing your installation and stores.

• A Master Administrator has the ability to create User's (store administrators), Groups, and Rights to access the stores within an installation.
• A Store Administrator has the ability to create User's Groups, and setup Access Rights to any area of the merchant menu. Pre-configured security rights include a Full Admin, Jr. Admin, Orders Admin, and Minimal Admin.

AbleCommerce can meet the needs of Visa's Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP Assessment), as well as being PCI compliant in the latest Asp.Net version.

Multiple Domains and SSL

You can have a unique domain name for a single store, group of stores, or all or your stores. Likewise, a secure certificate may be shared by all stores, different groups of stores, or a single store may have its own while the other stores share the secure domain used as the installation domain.

Database Support

We supply a default database depending on the version of AbleCommerce installed. Supported databases are MS-SQL, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. MS-Access is supported in the Asp.Net version for development or testing purposes only. Each database may contain a single store or many stores depending on how you choose to manage your store groups.
