Hey,

Before I buy your software since it's pretty expensive, I need to know some things. I would like my questions to be answered please.

1- Can I remove any sign of "shipping", "address", etc.? I sell digital goods and billing and shipping addresses are pointless since Paypal provides their name, address etc. SO I would like to remove ALL the address fields, in my account, on registration, on checkout, in the cart, etc. Is it possible?

2- Is it like REALLY secure?

3- Is there a mod for testimonials?

4- Is it possible to like... make multi langual not just the script text but products description, title etc.?

5- Can we display some news on the site index? Like upcoming products... some kind of a blog

6- Can we mass mail customers?

Thanks in advance.

I'd like my questions to be answered please, thanks.

As you've asked so many questions, I've highlighted my responses in bold. Normally we like a one question per post, but the nature of your post doesn't really fit into that, so here goes....



Let us know if you need more specifics about anything by elaborating on your questions.

There is a 30 day free trial available, so you can always test out CubeCart for yourself before you comitt to buying. Also CubeCart 3, while it has less features offers a free system, which can be upgraded to version 4 at a later date if this is what you want to do. Do note that because of some code changes, third party mods may no longer work, and you will need to contact the mod authors for more information about this if you decide to go this route.

Thanks for your reply.

I absolutely need to not ask the address. This is so not quick enough for customers and not friendly, imho. So when I buy it someone will help me and tell me what to do right? I mean it has to have this kind of support, we're talking about a $200 software... you can't just say "everything is possible". Same thing with the "news" on the store index?

I've tried the 30 days trial but I can't find the description and product title traduction.

Thanks again.

You will need a third-party programmer to make such modifications to everything that I have specified as non-standard. The developers of the software do not provide additional programming services.

There is a community of third party programmers who will be happy to help and/or offer their services over at cubecartforums.org, a community site set up to deal specifically with third-party services relating to CubeCart.

It's not third-party, it's removing something built in. What kind of support is that?

It's a modification, and as I explained, the developers do not provide modification services, therefore, it needs to be done by a third party if you can't do it yourself.

I appreciate that you're trying to find out facts before you actually do anything, and can reassure you that the communities here and at cubecartforums are all very helpful (Within the scope of what the 2 forums are aimed at), and you shouldn't be left high and dry if you want something like addresses removed. It's a very simple modification.

Until you post a topic specifically asking for such things, it's all conjecture in the mean time, so that's why I'm trying to direct you accordingly to the best sources of help.

Its taking the "core" software package and making it non-standard.

The CubeCart developers stick to *standard* CubeCart, and Third party developers deal with non-standard features be that adding, changing or removing standard faetures.

Is any part of the application encrypted?

I notice you charge for re-branding, can I do it myself?

In version 3, it is entirely unencrypted.

In version 4, two files, not at all related to skinning/modification are encoded to provide the licensing control.

You are free to rebrand the site how you wish. There are tutorials over at www.cubecartforums.org

Just want to add an additional point on 'rebranding' - Within a more commerical context...

We've just discussed that you can customise your own CubeCart store any way you like, and purchase a copyright removal key to remove the CubeCart copyright notices if you want, whereby the system completely takes on your own identity in terms of wording, styling and function.

However, if you intend on providing your own e-commerce solution to your customers by using CubeCart software (and want to call it something else, say BrentShop, or WillCart), you must acknowledge that it is, or contains elements from CubeCart, otherwise rebranding in this context will infringe the software useage licensing terms, even if you have paid for a copyright removal key, or version 4 license. You are also required to leave the copyright notices within the php code, although you can add to them as you please. It's not like they can be seen from the generated code though.

This is probably not what was being asked, but thought it may be relevant to someone coming across this topic in the future.
