Re: Pricing changes once v4.4 comes out

But that's true of anything. If you customise something beyond its factory defaults then you cannot expect the next official update to work out-of-the-box. I could get many of the features I wish for by going customised but I know I'll be opening up a can of worms keeping the site stable and spending a small fortune on developer fees. This actually opens up a whole other topic regarding x-carts customer base. It seems to me that a huge part of that customer base are developers who manage carts on behalf of the customer. I on the other hand am not a developer, I'm a business person and that is my focus. I handle the day to day running of my cart including, where I can, updates and some maintenance. Where I can't I use QT support. What I have felt for far too long is those of us like me, who are hands on business people are generally ignored. Perhaps that's because I'm on Litecommerce and if/when I move to x-cart 5 I hope QT will give a bit more interest to the part of their customer base who actually use the product to run a business.

Upgrading even a stock cart can be a nightmare!

Re: Pricing changes once v4.4 comes out
I have no problem with the increase (like I said the only problem I see is people being forced to pay for somethign they won't use) or QT charging some small amount for major upgrades like 10% of the price of new license. I think strip-out-cart-with-separate-modules pricing model was good. Anyway it is done already - the modules are included in stock cart.

Re: Pricing changes once v4.4 comes out
I totally agree with Swish.
If moving up the price could actually speed up the development of x-cart we would be happy to pay some more for a license. There are other shoppingsystems out there with much quicker development. I still think X-Cart is a great product compaired to other systems but QT should be alert not to be overtaken by others.

I agree with steve. Different people have different need. Selling a big cloud makes it more difficult to use it. Modular software system approaches are more scalable than homogeneous systems. I have yet to see a case in hardware or software where modularity is in-efficient. Open software systems should be more scalable since they are group/community effort. Modularity also provides opportunity for innovation. Modular systems are also easy to debug and manage. Can X-cart refute my argument ?. X-cart should reconsider their approach now and in V5.

Re: Pricing changes once v4.4 comes out
i dont agree with that "400 mark", that would make this platform something i couldnt use anymore. i think the price thats being charged now and even the 150 is good.

Re: Pricing changes once v4.4 comes out
and this stuff about being forced to buy stuff that you wont use, etc...its only $35 for all the modules. thats a pretty good deal. it's not like you're getting charge double for stuff you dont use.

I agree... Quote:
According to the roadmap as of today v5 is not expected until May 2011. I would gladly pay $500 per license for a cart that was more on top of their releases vs having to wait for a product they announce for over 2 years.

All of the x-cart modules are included? Weren't some of those worth more than $149 alone? If I upgrade to 4.4 will I also receive these?
