For the past few weeks we have been very busy with further enhancing our products with new features, better performance and changing the way we offer our products.

We’re listening to you

Yes, we’re listening! We love your feedback.

Just like you, many of our customers also asked for a version that comes with lower price tags with limits to products as they are not owning a huge nopCommerce site with millions or even thousands of products but still looking for ways to improve customer experience, search results and site speed. Moreover, many of them are on Shared Hosting Account and do not want to install yet another server for hosting Apache Solr. And they want something simpler and affordable way to speed-up and scale their nopCommerce based e-commerce website. So we’re changing several things to make it easy for you to enhance your store.
