We've just released the Administration interface in Spanish, French and German languages. This means our friends in these countries can now use this system in their own language. Please keep in mind that this launch is in beta and there are a few minor issues which we hope to resolve in the coming weeks. We will be adding a number of other languages to the system in early 2009!

You can change the language via the ribbon at the top-right of the Administration area.

Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance is a complex and ever evolving subject affecting millions of businesses – acquiring banks, Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs), processors, hosts, shopping carts, e-commerce and retail merchants and other merchant services providers. This system now meets the strict guidelines set by the Payment Card industry and ensures our processes around the use of credit cards meets their strict requirements. Being PCI compliant is important as many payment gateways around the world now require compliance for those wishing to process payments in real-time on their websites.

We've just added support for the Cybersource payment gateway. This payment gateway is unique since it'll allow you to process payments in many different countries without having to setup different merchant accounts for each country. To learn more abou this payment gateway please contact Cybersource directly.

Ever wanted to sell recurring products in your online shop? Now you can. For any given product you can choose its recurring cycle and have the system automatically create orders that recur when a customer purchases such products.

To take advantage of this new and exciting feature:

• Go to eCommerce->Products and choose a product
• Click on "Show More Options" and locate "Cycle Type" drop down
• Set the appropriate recurring frequency for this product, you can choose between Once, Daily, Weekly, Fortnightly, Monthly, Quarterly, Half Yearly and Yearly

Now for example if a customer buys a handful of products in which a couple have a monthly recurring cycle, then upon successfully paying for the order the system will create a new recurring order with the recurring products. The system will use payment details from the initial order for subsequent recurring orders. Also the original shipping charges will apply to subsequent orders.

We've made some significant improvements to our WYSIWYG editor, specifically around the way it produces HTML markup. Since all WYSIWYG editors use the browser's rending engine it proves complicated to address all the browser quirks. However the recent improvements get us closer to ensuring the code the WYSIWYG editor produces is perfect.

We've also added support for Google Chrome. If you are a fan of this new web browser then you can use it to edit your web pages in the WYSIWYG editor. Please note that we officially only support Internet Explorer and Firefox on the PC and Safari and Firefox on Mac.
