Since releasing paGO Commerce in January of this year, we’ve been hard at work on the next steps along our roadmap. We created paGO Commerce to alleviate the headaches created by many mainstream commerce platforms. Above all, our focus was on creating a more future proof, modular codebase, that didn’t leave developers at a dead-end, forced to hack the core in order to make even the most basic changes. With paGO commerce, you can bend it any way you want. It’s flexible, and it’s fast.
This new double release of paGO Commerce (1.1 and its followup, 1.1.1) sets the tone for our rapid development schedule for paGO Commerce. This development round’s focus was on improving the “back-end” workflow for store owners, in order to make it faster and easier than ever to manage inventory and product attributes. Following the advice of many of our early adopters to paGO Commerce for Joomla, we made substantial improvements to the Admin Panel, along with a host of other improvements, which I listed below.
Many more updates and improvements are in the works, right now, as we work with many customers and contributing developers to reshape the definition of commerce as a tool. I join all the team members at ‘corePHP’ as we’re excited to announce the release of a new stable version of paGO Commerce available for download right now. Thank you to our entire team of developers for putting together this extremely versatile and powerful eCommerce package for Joomla website owners and developers.
