When you have the PRO version one should think it should be possible to create a website with integrated e-shop for a client.
It IS possible - but the client will not be able to maintain his own products and prices.

The client will need the X5 software and the project. And then he should be able to handle the software? - no way.
I will suggest that the X5 could be set up for using php-files as now, OR connected to a database.

The products, prices and much of the setup for the shop, should then be in the database.
The client could then from a "dashboard" maintain products and shop-settings.
Import and export of products should be possible.
There is other things that could be enhanced regarding the e-commerce ( the payment structure ) - but this is the most important for a product called PRO.

I am sure that INCOMEDIA know this already, as the e-commerce have been an issue for a long time and in many posts.

It would be nice to know if actions has been taken already for the product-maintaining and if we can expect a proper solution in near future.

It would be a win/win if we users could have a product suited for the e-commerce future and INCOMEDIA would keep customers on the X5 platform.

So my suggestion is to make a first step by making it possible with a database solution for the e-commerce. ( or wharever solution INCOMEDIA has in mind )

As not many new things has come for a long time, we could hope the time has been invested in a better e-commerce :-)
