I hear version 5 will be web based. Won't it be slower or insecure!
No. Quite the contrary.
Speed
The control panel of version 5 will be very fast and have lots of features which will make it quicker and easier to use than version 4. For example, you no longer need to resize images - all you do is upload your original sized image and ezimerchant will automatically take care of resizing for you. The best part is though that because we store the full size image you can change your mind regarding the size of thumbnails, large images, cart thumbnails, search thumbnails or wherever / however else you want to display product images just by making a change to the template.
There will be a lot of one click functions, especially in the catalogue management and orders screens. It will be possible to batch process orders and batch edit products. While ezimerchant will be fast on initial release, it will continue to evolve to get better and better.
Anyone with a moderate to large catalogue will benefit from the fact that there is no more site generation.
The stock control functionality will eliminate the need to manually update products when they become unavailable.
Security
We specialise in building secure web applications. Your version 4 based website has benefited from that security for many years through the security of the GTS. We have processed over 5 million transactions representing hundreds of millions of dollars (that's right, over half a billion dollars). Version 5 adds to that security by taking your site administration online. You will no longer be responsible for securing sensitive customer data on your computer.
