Online store builder software

Filed under: Under development, Web Scripts — Tags: , — Aji Abraham @ 11:28 pm

We are not supposed to count the chickens before they hatch. But still I think we have a pretty cool application in the making. Its almost ready to hit the limelight. As you know we have a multi vendor shopping cart and a online site builder software.  We have been getting a number of requests from clients on modifying either of it to a online store builder – so that they can offer it as a service similar to yahoo stores,  volusion.com or prostores to their clients.  So this would allow them to be an ASP / or SaaS provider easily. This would a great addition for hosting companies, design houses and marketplace communities.

We have a new online store builder software in the making. Its independent of both iScripts Multicart and iScripts EasyCreate. Current plan is to allow the end user to select a domain or subdomain , select a payment plan and create store. The store would be saved on your server. Your customer can customize the look and feel of the store, add edit categories, products , shipping etc. from the management panel with few clicks. I am not sure about the name yet. But we have been kicking around the name iScripts GoStores for now internally. I will update you once we finalize. If you want to be keep posted about this application or you want participate in the beta trial let me know. If you want to take look at our beta demo contact me at abraham(@)iscripts.com Aji Abraham

Getting customer feedback – iScripts Idea Lab

Filed under: Web services — Aji Abraham @ 12:42 am

Its always difficult to useful and aggregate customer feedback on products and services. Yes, we do get our share of feedback from customers, some more vocal than others. But translating it into actionable and viable ideas are mostly a trial and error method. Recently we have added an idea lab, where we add a laundry list of things in our to-do list and let customers vote for it.  The iScripts Idea Lab ( we copied the concept from Google shamelessly). Goal is to keep it as an informal venue to get ideas to fuel our future growth. So lets know what you want us to work on. We have limited resources, like everybody else. so we want to spend it in areas that can have maximum impact to our customers profitability. So lets know what you want to see from iScripts , let it be a new open source software application, new features to existing ones or other services. Speak your mind. and be heard.

By the way, thanks to the folks at user voice who created this app, its awesome.
