Open Shop 2
Open Shop 2

Open Shop is provided for free as a component for Elxis CMS. Just one click and you have a full featured shopping cart installed in your Elxis powered site. Lately, Ioannis Sannos, the developer of Open Shop, released version 2.0 of the software. The new version brings a bunch of new features and a total re-design of the shop layout. The interface is elegant and friendly to mobile devices and tablets. You can sell both physical and digital or immaterial products online. Digital products can be download-able (software, documents, etc) which customers will get automatically after a successful payment. Open Shop can be used as a products catalog (no prices shown), as a demo shop (no payments/orders) and as a normal shop. Moreover since version 2 you can hide prices for individual products by using the Call for price feature. Call For Price navigates customer to contact shop administrator and ask for a price offer for a specific product instead of placing the product into cart.
