AbleCommerce Features

Order Management is a big part of running an eCommerce store. We provide the tools needed to make order fulfillment easy, automated, and flexible.

Use the catalog system to create unlimited categories and subcategories. Assign products to any number of categories, or use them to organize your content pages. The structure of your catalog can be simple or complex; use a single category or many thousands.

A product can have a vast array of features, or it can be as simple as a name and price. Use the kitting system to create unique combinations of products, or use variants to offer options that can change depending on a user's selections. Inventory control at the variant level is fully supported.

The user management system is a powerful feature. By assigning users to custom groups, you can offer special pricing, payment methods, shipping, discounts, and set page accessibility for members. Your store admin users can be given limited or full access to features within the Merchant Administration.

We offer a complete eCommerce system with content management built-in. Create unlimited content pages and organize them within the catalog or use them a la carte. Easily setup a blog using the premade templates. You can even create content in advance and set a publishing date for the future.

Our latest feature is a new website design system that allows any person with limited skills to change nearly anything in the store without having to hire an expensive designer or developer. This feature cannot be described in words. Please watch this video to learn more.

Our latest shipping feature includes the ability to combine any number of shipping methods into a group, and apply that ship group to applicable products. This allows a merchant to create unique shipping scenarios and offer only those methods that the item can ship by.

Recent tax laws may affect online retailers soon. Be prepared for upcoming changes and use AvaTax to automate all your tax calculations and reporting. For states that have simplfied taxes, you can use the built-in custom tax feature and create your own tax tables. The tax reports will allow you to complete your state forms manually.

AbleCommerce offers many different payment solutions including secure storage of customer payments as an option with the Authorize.net CIM payment gateway. Additionally, payment methods can be set up for purchase orders, bank drafts, credit cards (foreign and domestic), gift certificates, and we have several PayPal options.

The Payment Manager has several features for processing orders in batch. Bookkeepers will appreciate the ability to search for transactions and create custom reports.

There are many different reports to assist the merchant, including sales, products, customer, marketing, and system reports. Most reports offer a time selection, visual graphing, as well as detailed data which can be exported to a CSV file.

Generating new sales is a constant part of running a successful business. Use our marketing tools to create a featured product listing and offer product specials. Coupons may apply to an order, products, or shipping with minimum or maximum purchase amounts to qualify. Discounts may be used at the global store level and can trickle down to the category and product levels.

Many search engine optimization (SEO) options are available, everything from custom URLs to advanced dynamic redirects. Every page, category, and product will have a title, URL, and meta information. New URLs are generated to be search engine compatible and benefit most from the use of additional keywords via the catalog structure.

Securely set up subscription orders and customer payment profiles using the Authorize.net CIM payment gateway. Adjust the business logic settings to match your shipping schedule and manage subscription renewals. All email notifications are built-in and can be customized as needed.

Use the inventory management features to track and control stock. Display to customers the details about each product's inventory levels.

The data exchange features are very powerful and open up many opportunities for further integration. We make it very easy to import or export using our built-in wizard. If you are moving from another ecommerce solution, please contact us for assistance.

AbleCommerce has a vast number of store configurations and settings. A favorite feature is the ability to customize internal business operations and work-flow using order statuses and triggers.

Finally, covering the last of the system features, including application certification (in progress) for the latest PA-DSS requirements with Multi-Factor Authentication via Google's 2FA service. The PCI certification process takes approximately six months from start to finish. AbleCommerce software has been PCI certified since 2009.
