Default A few questions!

Hi,

just a few pre-sales questions I hope someone can help with!

1. Is it easy to customise the software for UK use? I know you can change currency and date formats but what about a list of UK Counties instead of States and changing displayed field names, e.g. County instead of State?

2. I'm not sure how the program handles sales taxes; does it cater for VAT?

3. Are there different levels of Admin user? As the developer, I'd ideally want to grant my client some kind of Admin access to the back end, but not full access, e.g. restrict access to system config type setings. I couldn't see a way of doing this in the demo.

4. When upgrades are supplied do they overwrite template changes or is there a way of keeping customisations separate?

Thanks!
Regards
Mark

States can be modified in the Admin or directly in the DB with PHPmyadmin. As far as changing the presentation within viewed pages, you would most likely need to get the develpers version, but I may be wrong here. (68C gurus? Help us out here.)

The program itself does not handle taxes. That is handled by the payment provider that you choose. (There are many UK users here that may be able to give you more specific information regarding how to do that.)

The current "Final" 68C is v3.1.5b and does not support admin levels, however the newer v4 (currently RC1) does support different admin levels.

When you make your own custom templates, you should be making those in your own template folder, therefore an upgrade would not overwrite your custom template folder.

Hope that helps,
Mike
