AbleCommerce GOLD Released

After nearly 18 months in development, AbleCommerce GOLD is available, and we are sure excited for the future!

In this first release, the biggest change is one that you may not see right away.  We've upgraded our core Commercbuilder API so it will support current development technologies.  Our web scripts now use WAP for faster startup times, and developers should find customization and upgrades much easier than before.

We've provided merchants better website editing features, so they can customize nearly every page in the store and easily create new ones.  The merchant adminstration pages have been improved to increase efficiency, and there is a new product manager where you can add or edit products with one click.

There's more coming...Amazon payments and Mobile Shopping are two new features that we are working on right now.  We've also expanded our development team, so we can quickly add more new features based on your feedback.  Join us today on Facebook and help shape the future of AbleCommerce.

AbleCommerce GOLD Technical Highlights

AbleCommerce GOLD is all about bringing the best Asp.Net shopping cart in line with current technologies.  Our core API has been rewritten using technologies like NHibernate, Castle Windsor, and Lucene.  We have incorporated over 600 (and counting) automated integration tests to verify that our software meets higher standards of quality.  We have also upgraded our web scripts to the Web Application Project architecture to provide faster startup times with the pre-compiled website.

Developers and custom site designers alike will appreciate our restructured scripts that make better use of standard asp.net technologies and less use of proprietary techniques.  Master pages make it easy to make global changes to layout or design, and our WC3 valid HTML provides plenty of hooks for designers to make your website fit your unique company image with CSS.  One look at our sample store themes and you will see the wide variety of look and feel that can be applied without any changes to our source code!
