you dream !

you sound like you are also frustrated.

obviously... I am waiting since more 1 yr an update about the payment mecanism to change it and to pay before to receive confirmation 

This issue has been asked by many people since 3 yrs !!!! 

alone product on the market to send a confirmation before to pay !!!!

What the usage of Update Protection.....  

Incomedia needs to break up this software up into catogories with ecommerce prehaps being a catagory of its own and the designing around each catogory.i bought this software because they comvinced me it was a winner on their website.i expect them to fillfill their promise that they will listen to their customers when they speak.after all happy customer happy seller or in this case happy developer.listen to what your customers want and go back to the drawing board if need be.website x 5 could be a top product if the customers needs where taken seriously.i would like to continue with website x5 because i believe in the product but please produce a product that is sufficient for our needs.

i hope this will be taken seriously.

All of a sudden the moderaters are very quite.

That is because our only avenue is silence or to silence you. 99% of users do not wish to disparage Incomedia or advertise other products.  We all have our individual hobby horse to push. WX5 gives me enough to fulfil my needs and generally meets the needs of my clients. I can guarantee that with WX5 I can continue to maintain their site at the current state of the technology. Should I choose to maintain Update Protection they will probably get even more.

Hello John,

I hope you do not confuse the volunteer moderators who are users like you, and the moderators of the company Incomedia who do not work on weekends!

Volunteer moderators are there to help the best of their ability through their knowledge of the software, and Incomedia moderators are there to read the reviews and Ideas (although some remain unanswered) ...

It is therefore necessary to wait for their reaction during the working days.

Good luck in your projects despite waiting for better days.

J.P.

Esahc silence will not help in this case.I never bought this product for a hobby my friend i bought this product to make money which is the name of the game.i never once considered that an online store was a hobby or do you have a different clientel with only a few pages per website.You should be one step ahead of your competition compitition on this website should make incomedoia think about improving their product.

The X5 is a rather good product and most of the functions in it, they can name PRO without blushing.

But the shop is not for professionals. If you construct a site for a client, then the client will expect that he himself is able to maintain products and prices - but this is not possible.

Kind regards

John S.

Inspired by Cato The Elder: Furthermore consider that parallax must be fixed

By the way - Templetoaster only integrates with other web-shop-software.

You can do the same with X5.

Use X5 to build the website, and then link to, or integrate software ( like OpenCart ) into the site.

John s thank you for your valuable input i highly appreciate it.will you be able to show me how to intergrate open cart into my store if possible?  :)

Hello John

The "cleanest" solution is to put OpenCart in a subfolder, and then in your website make it as  a menu item, that links to the cart.

Another solution is not a real integration, but it appears so.

You make one or more pages without the template. In top of the page you place a head-menu.

You then on the page make an iframe in where you put the OpenCart.

Thank you John S i will see what i can do thank you for getting back to me.

Dear John B., 

thank you for getting in touch and sorry for keeping you wait. 

Surely you are right, there is room for improvement, especially as far as the e-commerce is concerned. We have been receiving some requests, some of them have already been implemented, but unfortunately some other still aren't. This does not mean we forgot about them though! 

The fact is that having several thousand customers in various countries of the world, each one with different needs, it would be very difficult to be able to satisfy all the individual requests. Moreover, it is our goal to keep WebSite X5 an easy-to-use tool and this, too, necessarily involves important decisions about what and how must be implemented. Still, it is our interest to keep developing the tool, also thanks to the suggestions you send us, which are always reported and taken into consideration.

Please let me know if I can be of any help. Kind regards.

+++ Giuseppe... Obviously... you are right

full agree

I just started my first e-commerce page, and I am very disappointed, that the features Giuseppe highlighted above have not been implemented or corrected...

Elisa, "not forgetting" doesn't mean that the commpany is working on fixes. As I read another e-commerce requests, the missing features have not been fixed for months (if not years)... That's pathetic...

I 100% agree with JOHN B. that "Website x5 needs a drastic update".

In my opinion the best thing, at the moment, if you want to have a performing e-commerce, is to create e-commerce with platforms like OpenCart, NopCommerce, Prestashop etc., put the e-commerce online in a subdirectory of the main domain and then in the web site created with Website X5 make a link to that subfolder containing the e-commerce.

Google traduttore:

Secondo me la cosa migliore, al momento, se si vuole avere un e-commerce performante, è creare l'e-commerce con piattaforme come OpenCart, NopCommerce, Prestashop ecc., mettere online l'e-commerce creato in una sottocartella del dominio principale e poi nel sito creato con Website X5 realizzare un collegamento a quella sottocartella contente l'e-commerce.

I hope your comment will not be deleted...

You suggest something to think about, Giuseppe! Thanks!

I will not close this discussion yet from my side because like i said i love website x5 and there is room for huge improvement like most user's have agreed to in this conversation.I have only been using this software for a few months and i am already frustrated due to it's limits now imagine users that have used this software for a few years who's request have not been taken seriously at all.In my country i had a choice to choose WIX,SHOPIFY,and other ecommerce platforms but instead i chose website x5.I am waiting to see what development and design incomedia will put into this software in the next few months based on that i will decide whether i will carry on with website x5 next year or not.Thanks to everyone for your valued input much appreciated.

SAID THIS TRANSLATED IN ENGLISH

I join the desire of users who express the need to be more competitive, WX5 is a great tool for both the beginner and the professional, but some time ago the incomedia team has been asked for competent improvements in ecommerce; since I use the software version 11 has only had 5 changes and not very significant that we say, we are already in version 17 and users are still asking for the same an online store with competitive features.

I AGREE 100% WITH Henry H 

LET THIS YEAR BE THE YEAR INCOMEDIA MAKES BIG CHANGES IN THE PROFFESIONAL EDITION OF WEBSITE X5

I CAN GARANTEE YOU IF YOU STUDY YOUR COMPITION INCOMEDIA AND MAKE THESE CHANGES YOU WILL DRAW PEOPLE AWAY FROM OTHER PLATFORMS TO YOURS.AFTER ALL OFFLINE WEBSITE SOFTWARE IS THE WAY TO GO BECAUSE THE CUSTOMER CAN HAVE 100% CONTROL OF THE SITE AND OWNS THE SITE 100%TAKE SOME IDEAS FROM OTHER PLATFORMS AND INCORPORATE THEM INTO YOUR SOFTWARE THIS WILL MAKE WEBSITE X5 THE TOP WEBSITE BUILDING SOFTWARE AVAILABLE.THIS SHOULD NOT BE ON THE CARDS OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS IT MUST BE DONE SOON.

WE HAVE SPOKEN NOW IT'S UP TO INCOMEDIA TO DELIVER.

"I hope you do not confuse the volunteer moderators who are users like you, and the moderators of the company Incomedia who do not work on weekends!"

That's an interesting reflection! 
Hands up all those who operate an online business here. How many of you can place your hand on your heart and honestly state you do NOT work on weekends? 

I have owned online businesses since 1998 and never have I been able to not collect my mail, not review my company Facebook pages, nor ignore my forum posts at weekends. In fact, weekends have habitually been the busiest period where sales and sales inquiries are concerned. 

In my humble opinion, if you operate a business online, not working at weekends is a luxury few can afford. Now tell me that a tiny operation like Incomedia really closes down at weekends. Alternatively, put it to the test. Make a sales inquiry on a Saturday and see if you get no answer until the following Monday. You do realize that if a customer does not get an answer rapidly, he is highly likely to shop at a competitor's site.

Coming back to the subject at hand. I cannot speak for v17 because I can't figure out how to use it. Although I paid for it, I still use v11 on my old Windows 7 based PC as v11 will not run on Windows 10.

As a Front Page user prior to discovering X5, I find v11 easy to work with. The shop issue has never been a problem for me for 3 reasons: 
1. I use PayPal's BuyNow buttons which are so wonderfully customizable you can make them look exactly as you want them to. For example, the Buy buttons on my LiquidASS site are in the form of images instead of cart buttons. That may seem weird to you but it works perfectly. 
2. Using PayPal's BuyButtons allows you to create your own confirmation and cancellation pages to which your customers are redirected after purchasing or should they decide to abort their purchase. They also allow you to integrate affiliate software in the button's variables, should you require such functionality, which I do. 
3. PayPal's BuyNow buttons can also be configured to trigger an autoresponder series so that a confirmation mail is sent to the customer automatically followed-up by tracking information and after-sales mailings. 

All that said, Wix, Shopify, and Mobirise probably offer the easiest shopping site creation tools available today. 

Thank you for your comment adrian i am waiting to see if incomedia is serious about there online store customers if not i will be moving on to greener pastures where software is built around the needs of the customer and not big talk and no action.

Adrian, could you please create a new post detailing your issues and concerns about v17. For the record I run v9 through to v17 on Windows 10 without issue and I have upgraded directly from v9, v10, v11, v12 etc to v16 & v17 without issue. Conversion to responsive was sometimes a a bit time consuming but never difficult.
