Finally Cs Cart 4 was released today it was released with many features this version cs cart 4.0.1 will be more powerful, faster, and easier to customize than any previous CS-Cart version this version also denotes a new turn in the CS-Cart evolution—more community-driven, flexible, and stable. It is the first step in our big plans for the future.
CS-Cart 4 is available in two editions: Ultimate and Multi-Vendor. Professional edition has been discontinued according to our plan to simplify our edition policy.
CS-Cart Ultimate can now be purchased with only a single storefront to fully replace CS-Cart Professional. It can be easily scaled up to any number of storefronts if required.
In this version, we re-introduce the opportunity to use CS-Cart software for free with the Free mode in Ultimate edition. In this mode, you have access to a limited set of eCommerce tools suitable for small and early-stage businesses.
Both CS-Cart Ultimate and Multi-Vendor can be used in the Trial mode (available only once per person). This mode does not require a license but provides access to all CS-Cart features for 30 days. After the trial period is over, you can either purchase a license or switch to the Free mode.
Download CS-Cart 4 from the official website.
Purchase a commercial license for Ultimate or Multi-Vendor to unlock the Full mode.
If you are already a license owner and have an active upgrade subscription, you can download your own installation package directly from the File Area in our Help Desk system.
A CS-Cart 3 installation cannot be upgraded to version 4 via the built-in Upgrade Center, but it will be possible to copy the most essential data (products, orders, users, etc.) from a CS-Cart 3 database to CS-Cart 4.
Data will be imported with a special add-on in CS-Cart 4; we are currently working on it. In other words, at the moment (on the date of the CS-Cart 4.0.1 release), data cannot be transferred from CS-Cart 3 to CS-Cart 4. The data import add-on will be included in one of the next minor CS-Cart 4 releases.
Raw CS-Cart 3 templates are not compatible with CS-Cart 4 because it uses a different theme format. The new themes can be easily customized with no need to manually edit any CSS or template files. We will publish a guide to creating CS-Cart 4 themes in the near future.
Most custom CS-Cart 3 add-ons/modules are not compatible with CS-Cart 4 either and require adaption.
Cs cart has announced an offer that the three best Beta testing participant will be rewarded with ultimate cs cart license the winners will be announced soon
