We haven’t been blogging much lately. Yes, I suppose I’m stating the obvious here, but it seems worth explaining. We’ve been extremely hard at work developing new extensions, as well as improving our current extensions based on feedback from our customers. But in addition to being busy, we’re keeping up with announcements and interesting tidbits via Facebook, Twitter and email. For now, we’ll continue to communicate via those mediums so make sure you like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and update your profile to receive our exclusive, promotional emails.

The WebAssist team has done it again. This time, we’re excited to announce that Cashie now has support for managing your product catalog. Not only can you add unlimited products with unlimited options, each one of those different options can have its own inventory level. This makes Cashie even easier to use for stores that have larger numbers of products. Log into the Cashie admin https://www.cashie.biz/account and check out the new features for yourself.

Our customers have been asking and we’ve been listening. We’re excited to announce that we just updated Cashie to support the two highly requested features: real-time shipping rate lookups and advanced coupons and sales. Shoppers will now be able to get real-time shipping rate quotes when they check out and be able to choose the shipping option that suits them.

Errors can contain code that is helpful with debugging your site. Generally, however, error reporting is turned off by your host so this code doesn’t show up on your live site. It’s important, as well as time saving, to attempt to view the errors as they may include code which you can use to find and identify the cause.
You can enable error reporting in a few simple steps, or by contacting your host directly. You typically only want to enable error reporting while debugging on your server, then have it turned off once your site is live.
You may need someone that knows php, but there are a few common errors that you may be able to tackle on your own.

For those who are paying attention, you’ll notice that we’ve been updating CafeCommerce every month or two since we’ve launched. If you weren’t paying attention, there will be a quiz at the end of this post. On a more serious front, having a consistent launch schedule allows us to add commonly requested features as well as make sure the product has the latest security patches and bug fixes. So without further ado, we’re pleased to announce the latest batch of updates:
We’ve just pushed some big updates to all Cashie customers so start taking advantage of them today! This round of updates focuses on the ability for you to be successful selling online.

Some of you may have noticed that we recently updated this blog with a redesign that includes much better integration with popular social networks. The redesign is part of our strategy to engage more with you and provide you with more relevant, real-time information that will help you be successful on the web. For this to work, our blog (and other web properties) needed to be updated so that it was much easier to interact with sites such as Facebook and Twitter. The more our content gets out, the more people we can reach and help.
