The development team at Boss Cart E-commerce Software put the new e-commerce features and significantly better, unambiguous interfaces to the centre.

The newly integrated payment gateways as below:

* HSBC checkout
* CCNow
* Ideal
* Epdq
* CardSave
* Payment sense

The development team carried out considerable improvement regarding the checkout process, thus you can easily configure optional shipping charges like Collection mode with free shipping, and your customers may select the desired delivery date according to the shopkeeper’s settings.

I suppose the biggest the greatest leap forward is the integration of „Anonymous Checkout module” and the visitors may forget the forced registration when any of PayPal Payment Standard, Google Checkout, PayPal Express Checkout is configured as active payment gateway.

On the storefront visitors will see a more sophisticated, ecommerce template with wrapped newsletter sign up box in the leftbar.
I must mention the improved product attributes. The weight of the product attributes changes the product and shipping prices on the fly.
After logging into the customer account it is easy to recognize that a new Reward tab is added, since from this release Shopkeeper has the facility to encourage the customers with the loyalty point system as well –beside the various discounting modules. Using the new options at the Order History tab repeating a previous order, or clearing an incomplete payment has never been so easy.

Boss Cart has a surprise for the seo world as well, since the Google Ecommerce Tracking is integrated as an automatic. The implementation is still not perfect in this version, since javascript needs interpreter to push the transaction details to Google, but I am very sure this module will be improved soon.

After some years of successful distribution of the Premium Software, the team at Boss Cart has decided to establish the hosted packages targeting really demanded users who would like to focus on their business instead of the website maintenance.

Two packages has been compiled so far, the difference is the provide hosting plan, and the maximum number of uploadable products. However the installed software gives you all the advanced features of Boss Cart Premium including:
