Cs Cart Has Released Its Cs Cart 4 Beta(Ultimate, Multi-Vendor) Version in the result of whole Cs Cart Team Work it became obvious that this release was much more significant than a regular minor release. By jumping straight to version 4, we want to show that this is a major upgrade, with features never seen in CS-Cart before.sure you all will like the new feature of Cs cart 4 Beta let us have look at its features
Theme Editor
One of the killer features of this version is the builtin theme editor.
Now, you can customize your storefront in real time, and without a single line of HTML or CSS
code written!
You can play around with colors, fonts, logos, and backgrounds, all in real time and previewed directly on your storefront.
You can activate the Theme editor mode via the CS-Cart 4 admin panel, under Design → Design mode. Note that in Ultimate edition you should select a store first.
New Admin Panel Look & Feel
In CS-Cart 4, we have greatly improved the administrator area:
- Sleeker and more modern design
- Rearranged menus for easier navigation
- Sidebar with search and additional functionality
- Onepage order creation and editing
- Dozens of minor improvements
Thanks to the user feedback, we were able to make the CS-Cart admin panel better than it ever was.
Performance Boost
The new CS-Cart is dramatically faster than the previous version. By optimizing the storefront block management routine, we achieved a great performance boost. Compared to CS-Cart 2.2.5 and 3.0.6, CS-Cart 4 is up to 3x faster and uses less CPU.
Improved Installer
We have simplified the installer and added a convenient post-installation Settings Wizard.
The new CS-Cart installation process has just 2 steps, one of which is accepting the license agreement.
Right after the installation, you will be able to set up some general preferences of your store using a quick step-by-step Settings Wizard:
Suppliers Add-on
We received a lot of feedback and requests to add the suppliers functionality to the Ultimate and Multi-Vendor editions.
Now, we are happy to introduce the suppliers feature in both the Ultimate and Multi-Vendor editions as a special built-in add-on.
