Hi!

Finally we are glad to announce the beta release of our next generation e-commerce solution called X-Cart Next: http://next.x-cart.com

You can see the X-Cart Next online demo:
- storefront: http://next.x-cart.com/demo
- store back-end: http://next.x-cart.com/demo/admin.php

What makes our new platform outstanding?

1. The clean user interface with multiple AJAX enhancements and cool new features like drag'n'drop shopping, one-page checkout, shipping cost calculator and the ability to log in with a Facebook/Google account makes the shopping process on your website very comfortable for your customers.

2. The upgrade process is really easy: when there are new versions of the core or modules you just click "Install upgrades" button and X-Cart Next downloads and installs the updates from our servers for you

3. You can modify everything in the shop: the site design, the built-in logic and even the features added by other modules. The new advanced modular architecture built on top of PHP 5.3 objects and Doctrine 2.0 ORM framework allows you to do it without "hacking" core files.

4. Custom modules can be reused on multiple shops without adaptation. Moreover, you can sold them through the same system that we use to deliver upgrades and our modules to X-Cart Next users"


We have created a forum section dedicated to X-Cart Next, feel free to ask your questions here:

Congratulation. A milestone for your company.

Congrats guys! Big milestone indeed. Best of luck with it

The long wait is over Congrats.

Congratulations.

A suggestion - if possible, you could keep a list specifically geared toward the audience of current X-cart users that would help us to understand the X-Cart Next features relative to what we already know with the current X-Cart. It would help us understand when we could use X-Cart Next for new projects as well as convert existing ones. For example - when planning a project, I understand this list is available: http://www.x-cart.com/xcart_features.html. Could you keep a list something like this in the X-Cart next forum, with a column for X-Cart Next indicating that the functionality is already supported or the functionality is planned, or is not applicable or not planned. A roadmap would be nice - but just getting a feel for when the features we are used to will be available makes planning possible. It would also help 3rd party developers know where their opportunities are.

Very necessary. Is there any plans for an RMA module for this?

great, purchase x-cart about a month ago, and set it up and spend close to a grand with all the added features (really PISSED that I purchased a lifetime upgrades. and now you discontinue this and call it something else)

what a joke

[cflsystems]

Don't be pissed. It will take some time before XC next is ready for prime time and has all the features and mods you already have... So your money are not a waste right now, you can continue with what you have for at least another year or two if not longer

[ADDISON]

Look over this Forum, it is based on XC4, lots of solutions most of them for free. You have lots of trusted 3rd party developers for XC4 with affordable costs. As Steve said it will take 1 - 3 years to get XCN to the level of XC4 when talking about features. Also switching to XCN you have to forget Smarty, which for me is like a great buddy. So, think deeper and continue using your software without being pissed.
