Automated browse-mode thumbnails
When customers are browsing your catalog by category, why not show a little thumbnail image of the product for quick visual reference?
Unlimited images per product & Previewing
Individual modifiers can have their own image, and your customers can Preview that modified product on-the-fly. ie: Preview a red shirt, Preview a green shirt, Preview a LARGE green shirt, Preview the truck without fog lights, or Preview it WITH fog lights. This way, your customers can see EXACTLY what they're buying beforehand.
Multi-tiered Pricing
1. by Customer; This customer gets the hat for $10, that customer sees the price as $12. Wholesalers support is also included; Discount your entire inventory (one or more items)!
2. by Modifier; The red shirt is $20, but the blue shirt is $22.
3. Require a Login! Some websites are subscription only. Some websites require you to have an account first. Some websites want you to login first before you can actually buy anything. You can easily disable this feature as well, if you don't need it.
4. Full B2C and B2B support; Grant customers full access to your site, hiding prices until a user logs in first, or no site access at all without logging in. Excellent for wholesalers!
Dynamic BuyNow button
Show it, or not, and allow Modifier selections.
1. Modifier selection; All Modifiers, such as red, green, v-neck, lace, button-fly, etc will display next to your BuyNow button where your customer can either Preview that product first, or click the BuyNow button.
2. Back-order/Pre-order; Control whether or not the BuyNow button even shows up, based on your quantity in stock. If an item is out of stock, then you can allow or disallow purchase of that item.
3. MassOrder Mode; Now your customers can see all of the items in a group at once and order any number of them at a single click. This will show all of the possible combinations that an item may have with modifiers as well.
Freebie Item
Offer a freebie! ie: "Buy 1 get 1 free!" Or, "Buy 4 of these, and get the 5th free!" Or, "Buy 2 hats, get a shirt free!" See?
Unlimited Coupons
Got Coupons? Issue one or more, and apply each to one or more products. Each Coupon you create can also have an expiration date set on it so that your customers cannot use it after a designated date, AND you can even set how many of an item are allowed in the purchase, ie: Do not let customers use Coupon xxx past July 3rd, and do not let them apply this coupon to more than 3 hats. Very flexible!
Unlimited "Related Items" and "Impulse Buy" products
Tempt your customers with any number of other products during Checkout. ie: If your customer is buying a truck online, why not tempt them to also buy a roll-bar and fog lights to go with it? You can also set whether or not these items are displayed as drop-down menu choices, or text with thumbnails. Up-selling and cross-selling; Very cool feature!
Fail-safe Cart
1. User Session Enabled; Javascript not required! If your visitor gets bumped offline, or accidentally closes their browser while they still have items in their cart, the code has already assigned a customer number to them, and the next time that visitor comes to your site, it will pre-fill their cart, so that they can pick up where they left off!
2. Session-loss Trapping; No more empty carts! Customers' cart contents are:
  1. Encrypted for privacy
  2. Passed via session
  3. Passed via cookies
  4. Passed via hidden form elements
  5. Passed via querystring parameters
  6. Guaranteed security using additional HTTP ServerVariables and geographical data to make SURE your shoppers are secure, never lose what's in their cart, or get their cart confused with another. Now that's fail-safe!
Full SSL Security
With an SSL Key installed, your Magnum E-Platform can take full advantage of SSL encryption. No more hacked credit card numbers!
Database Security
Secure your customers data via a password protected database, NTFS/Active Directory Permissions, segregated database server via NetBEUI protocol, and Admin level access rights. Contact our Support team for additional tips.
Automatic inventory indexing and sorting
Customers can browse your products by Manufacturer, Sale Items, Item name, or Price, Ascending or Descending!
Simplified Checkout
Why bother your customers with lengthy Checkout procedures?
1. Pre-filled Customer Info; If your customer is returning, then the cart will automatically fill out all their Billing & Shipping info for them!
2. vCard Enabled; If the customers web browser has their personal info and/or Microsoft Wallet info entered, then your Checkout page will use this info to pre-fill all the fields!
3. DHTML Enabled; If the customers Shipping Info will be the same as their Billing Info, then a box can be checked, and when it is, the Shipping Info section will completely disappear from the screen. Less fields on Checkout result in site "stickiness" and customer retention.
4. Expanded Alt Text; Easy to read Help buttons/effects walk your customers right thru your Checkout page. No more abandoned carts!
5. Automatic weight detection; If the cart sees that you are only buying downloadable or printable (digital) goods, then your customers will never be presented with any Shipping info. The shorter your Checkout page is, the better!
6. User-defined fields; Add your own custom fields to Checkout, Gift Card message fields, special notes, etc. You can create your own field labels, set a maxlength and field type, you name it!
