Plugin for an admin

I have purchased 4 versions and updates of website x5 pro over the years. I never succeeded to use the website I have built as a final e-commerce website.
This was the problem:
If I wanted to sell the finished website to a client, he could never replace, change or delete a product without needing myself to do it for him, and export the whole project for uploading it.
I would be happy to pay for an X5 plug of some kind, of a client admin panel which can do exactly that, like other normal and even rather simple platform based, e-commerce websites.
Thank you

Hello. I sent a notification about your ideas to the company employees, expect an answer from them here in the comments.
Hi there,
I will be happy to report your request. However, because WebSite X5 is a desktop software which saves the changes applied locally on the PC used to work on the project, your clients would need their own license in order for them to update the website on their own.
We prefer to keep this type of operation also considering that, compared to other online competitors, with WebSite X5 you can create an unlimited number of websites without affecting the software price.
With reference to the creation of sites for third parties, you should possibly consider the possibility of register to our reseller program: in this way, you can resell the license yourself to your customer, of course with a profit margin.
Thanks! Kind regards.

Hello Elisa,
Thank you for your answer.
However, I already got a negative answer from you by mail and was hoping to look for an answer from other X5 users who know code and maybe have the ability to build such an admin for me.
I love working with X5, but for e-commerce, it is useless for me.
Sorry to say; I can't really embrace this delusional idea to sell my client Website X5 license, and teach them and their employees how to export instead of how to change one product price, or being worried that they will not ruin the whole website by mistake.
Also I don't really understand how other builders here, sell finished ecommerce X5 websites and deal with that problem.
Are they the ones who have to upload all products? Are they the ones who change prices and manage new products every day?
Is website X5 suitable only to a few products and not say, for hundreds?
Hope to get any ideas.

As you already mention - X5 is good when you want to develop websites - it is quick and it is rather easy to make more advanced things when you are familiar with some code.
And X5 is good to e-commerce if you are the shop-owner yourself, or if you make a website for a client that has only few items and a rather simple website and this client accepts that he has to make changes in the project and then make the upload.
But X5 is not suited for clients that has employees that has to maintenance many items - it will not function.
See this (and many other posts) about this issue: https://helpcenter.websitex5.com/en/post/215719
Even if you use the PRO-version it is not PRO when it comes to e-commerce.
Oh - about the selling of a solution including e-commerce:
This never happens (I think) - but you can make the site in X5 and the e-commerce with something else than X5.
An online solution maybe, like:

Hi Eyal
"I love working with X5, but for e-commerce, it is useless for me".
I agree, got same problem here as you have... WebsiteX5 is very easy and quit allright as long you not using the e-commerce part. I am using Website X5 for my costumers for creating websites with just info, which only needs litte edits 2 or 3 times a year. ( Which I do for them) For e-commerce site's I am using another (dutch) provider.
We hope that X5 (Incomedia) owners will read this post and will turn to a CMS system that attracts customers and does not lose them... Such good software!!!
