Example, Amazon did not put the price of the Xbox One until they got official word from microsoft. They knew it was coming into stock, but could not list the price until it was confirmed.

Both options are valid and depending on situation you may want to show the price or not. I will think how we can cover both use-cases.

On the product page, when you hover the customers also bought or related products , the search quick view icon also appears, however there is no quick view, the link goes only to the related product page. Therefore the quick view icon is not required in the product page products because there is no quick view.

Makes sense, we will look into it.

I have been thinking about it a little more about and to be honest, I would say that this is a correct behavior. When you are on product list, you may want to use Quick View, because you are seeing many products and may want to get a little bit more info about certain product before you dig into it.

Once you are on product page, you are digging into details and you want the full details of related products as well.

So, it seems to be logical to me that they do not have quick look.

Do you have another opinion?

[RichieRich]

Yes i agree the related products do not have quick look as it is just a product link not pop-up quick look

I see what you mean now. This problem will be fixed.

Regarding X-Cart 5, do you plan to release an "Advanced Customer Reviews" module in addition to the standard customer reviews as you have done on version 4?

The reason I ask is because we get quite a lot of business from these reviews, they are quite popular and set us apart from our competitors. I'm starting to develop XC5 but this has become somewhat of a stumbling block - how to migrate reviews to the new system.

Hi Kevin!

We want to port Advanced Customer Reviews, but this is not in our early plan. Could you please let me know what exactly functionality you need from X-Cart 4's Advanced Customer Reviews?

All of them.

I will not consider XC5 until ACR is fully functioning (or a substitute solution is found).

Reviews are an essential part of merchandising -- not just for the customer engagement, but also for the SEO benefits.

Have a conversation with the RGSR team about how reviews are shared with search engines.

Karina knows what to do. But X-Cart has to want it, right?

Thank you for the insight.

I registered it in our internal plans.

The ACR module has a "Advantages", "Disadvantages", and captcha fields, I'm not seeing those on this version for XC5.

Just my opinion, but instead of making that an "advanced" module, it seems it could be added to the current module without too much trouble.
