Storefront Features:

Language
Multilingual support has always been a standard feature across all In-portal modules. The new Platform version 1.1 took the concept even further, by allowing the administrator to translate not only the templates (pages and controls of the storefront), but also the data – such as product names, descriptions, etc. Currently supported only by In-commerce, this new feature will be quickly propagated to all other modules as well.

Currency
In-commerce fully supports storefront operations with multiple currencies. The storefront is capable of displaying the product pricing, shipping costs and taxes in any currency enabled by the administrator. In-commerce is also capable of processing the payment in any currency supported by the payment gateways.

Storefront Customization
There is a lot more to a successful localization of an online store than just languages and currencies. Little details of how the promotions are positioned, where the visitors’ attention is drawn, etc. can sometimes make a world of a difference in other cultures. In-commerce enables the storeowner to cater to each region with a custom layout, color scheme and specific set of information provided in the catalog, by offering easy yet very powerful template customization abilities.

Administrative Console Features:

Languages and Charsets
The administrator can create an unlimited number of regional packages in In-portal, and some translations are available as a free download to all registered owners of In-portal. A regional package usually includes a set of theme labels (all non-data text that appears on the storefront), number and date formatting rules, and character set specification for proper HTML encoding. In addition, each product and category can be translated for each enabled regional package.

Currencies
In-commerce does not only provide the capability of operating your online store with multiple currencies, but more importantly, it saves you a lot of time with easy exchange rate maintenance. With one click of a button, In-commerce will contact an online bank (you can choose from a number of built-in bank interfaces) and retrieve the up-to-date currency exchange data.

International billing & shipping
All of the order processes within In-commerce are built to accommodate international e-commerce transactions. Almost every step of the process is configurable to fit the U.S., the European or any other custom model of business operations. For example, all shipping and tax configuration can be set up by country, state or postal code, and the payment processing can be customized for any currency and procedure.
