The ‘Festive’ season is almost upon us and we want to make sure you are as prepared as possible with some new features and interesting 3rd party plugin integrations.

The following FREE Upgrades are now available

Mail Chimp Integration
Your email strategy is very important for driving sales during the festive season. We believe that targeted emails are particularly important during a time when customers inboxes are exploding with emails. Over the past few months we have been making improvements and our Mail Chimp Integration V.2 is now live

As a result abcommerce is now sending Mail Chimp all the order and basket information for customers who have opted into your newsletter since your abcommerce website went live. Use this to send personalised emails to a specific target audience based on their previous order history or previous browsing history when they have added items to their basket. For more information see Sending Targeted Personalised Emails

Control the Sort Order of your Product Listings
We all know how important it is to appear on the first page of the Search Results page, the same is true for products on your Product Listing pages. You want to ensure that your top selling products, top brands, most profitable products or most searched for products are displayed in the best position possible. We have taken away the black magic and the control is now in your hands to decide what products should appear first under each category . Find out more at Changing Sort Order First Page Listings
