Free Gift Chooser for Zen Cart Updates
Posted June, 2015
Zen Cart Free Gift Chooser now allows you to view information about your linkages,
such as when they were created, last activated and last inactivated.
This can be helpful for shopowners who reuse discounts in rotation,
and want to review information about them.
Finding missing downloads in Zen Cart
Posted May, 2015
The Zen Cart Downloads Manager shows you files which were specified in
the attributes controller but are missing from your downloads folder,
but it doesn't show you when files were entered incorrectly with
blank filenames. I have
instructions on how to audit your database
for this issue in
this blog post.
Updated Demo Sites

the
Responsive Sheffield Blue template. Here are the demo stores:

Shopify!
Posted March, 2015
Seven years ago, while visiting my old hometown of Ottawa, Canada,
I paid a visit to the headquarters of Shopify,
a new eCommerce startup, and
interviewed
Tobias Lutke,
the founder of Shopify.
Well at long last, I have finally started to work with Shopify.
It will be interesting to see what happens, and as always, I will keep you
posted right here!
Zen Cart Coupon Single User
Posted March, 2015
Want to restrict a coupon to one single customer?
This is what
Zen Cart Coupon Single User does, but without any custom programming;
just begin the coupon code with the user's email address.
The Streak Continues
Posted February, 2015
In October 2006, I released
Discount Preview for Zen Cart.
Since that month, I have released software
for Zen Cart or osCommerce
every single month.
This is my 101st month of continuous delivery.
And I can't wait to show you what I have cooking next!
Thank you for your support and patronage.
OpenCart Better Together
Posted February, 2015
OpenCart Better Together
has been updated for OpenCart 2.0.
Zen Cart Extended Family
Posted February, 2015
If you want to be able to easily show related items on the product
info page, and allow people to buy them with a single click
(as long as they don't have attributes), take a look at
Zen Cart Extended Family.
It's like
Zen Cart Checkbox Cross Sell, but instead of using the
Better Together configuration, it uses its own configuration,
which is easily created using its own built-in admin page.
Zen Cart Save for Later
Posted January, 2015
Zen Cart Save for Later
has just been updated to correct instructions for adding a
"Save for Later" button on the product info page.
This is an optional change which many users asked for, so I added it
in version 4.1, but I got a report this month of some configurations
where it didn't work; this has been fixed.
Updates for Zen Cart 1.5.4
Posted January, 2015
The following mods have been updated for Zen Cart 1.5.4:
In addition, the following mods were updated for 1.5.3 (and thus 1.5.4) - they
were missed when I did the big 1.5.3 update in July of last year.
Zen Cart Auto Add Plus Better Together
Posted January, 2015
The base
Auto Add for Zen Cart
has been expanded to
Auto Add plus Better Together.
Now you can do automatic adds of your prod_to_prod, cat_to_prod,
twoforone_prod and twoforone_cat discounts from
Better Together.
Date Based Products
Posted January, 2015
Some products require a date attribute, but Zen Cart natively does
not support this. I can add this for you on a custom basis.
See my
Date based Products for Zen Cart
page for an example.
