Facebook - eCommerce Catalog Browse [Support]

[brightsoftware]

Bright Software Solutions' eCommerce Catalog Browser 'App' allows you to quickly start advertising your existing shop via your Facebook page. It is designed so that after initial installation, the system will automatically keep up-to-date with your product catalogue without the need to maintain a separate product list.

The App is easily configured to display special offers, featured and new products collected directly from your live shop.

Features:

•Quick and easy-to-launch facebook product showcase
•Customer header image allows you to maintain a strong brand presence
•Helps promote your existing site with all products linking directly back to your shop
•All data is collected directly from your website, so no need to maintain separate lists!

This is the official support thread for this new mod.

I don't think you're allowed to advertise commercial software here.

Is this post advertising new FREE mod for zencart?
If so, url ON ZENCART SITE, where it can be downloaded
please.

Hi,

I was told by the support team that the free add-on to Zencart needs a public forum support page prior to approval. I am not trying to advertise I just copied the add-on description into the thread as I was not sure how best to start a support thread.

I wanted the link of the thread to go into the Readme file, Sorry if i have done this the wrong way around.


Thanks

Ok...hopefully mod will be listed in Free Software AddOns soon.

My mistake, maybe. Your website talks about a Free Trial for this program, which makes it commercial software after the trial period. If you're going to offer a free Zencart version, I'll look forward to trying it.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Great add-on. For potential updates of this mod, It would be nice if you could add the products to your cart while on the Facebook store then navigate to your stores cart upon checkout. Something like this.

Thanks for the add on.

Thanks for the suggestion NovaStar, I think that's a good idea.

Also for people who been asking me, the add-on is now available on Zen cart site :

One month is free. Then you have to buy a bundle ($700 and up) and it seems you would host everything on their server, if I understood correctly.

Hi,

Sorry for the confusion, you don't need to host with us to use this app. Our web hosting is completely separate to the facebook app. We would not charge hosting unless you bought a hosting package with us (which you are not obliged to do).

We are currently running a free beta for the facebook app that is expected to run for a few months. At the end, we may start charging, but we anticipate that we will still be able to offer a version for free. We anticipate that the full version will only cost around $20 a month; possibly less, depending on bandwidth and support costs.

We hope that this clears things up.

Thanks
