and easily operate a fully functional e-commerce enabled online store in
minutes
TORONTO, and FT. LAUDERDALE, FL, March 14 /CNW/ - Today Hostopia announces the launch of a new version of its flagship e-commerce application EasyStoreMaker Pro version 3.0. Numerous usability enhancements and additional application features make this popular application more attractive to Hostopia's service-provider distributors and their small business end-users.
"With over 20,000 e-commerce application users on our network, Hostopia ranks in the top three e-commerce service providers in North America. User and distributor feedback thus far on our latest enhancements to EasyStoreMaker Pro are extremely positive and we anticipate further increases in application usage," says Paul D. Engels, chief marketing officer for Hostopia.com Inc.
EasyStoreMaker Pro version 3.0 enhancements include a wizard that takes a non-technical user through the easy steps of setting up an e-commerce store complete with product display information, shipping options, tax and currency settings and more. Store design and setup is made considerably easier with the inclusion of a library of pre-built storefront templates in graphically rich, compelling designs. Further enhancements include a CSV import/export function to easily enable setup of large product SKU data files, a free bundled SSL certificate and a "product showcasing" feature that helps promote sales and/or featured products.
Engels notes, "Business users have eagerly embraced pre-built storefront templates as a logical extension of market demand for site templates. Few business owners have the time or expertise required to design their online store. Templates powered by a wizard allow business owners or their website developer to more quickly establish an e-commerce presence."
EasyStoreMaker Pro version 3.0 is immediately available to all Hostopia wholesale customers who in turn can offer the updated application to their end users via Hostopia's private labelled hosting control panel interface, Website OS(TM).
