Sales Igniter Rental System For Magento Version 1.0 Feature List


So I thought it would now be good to show everyone what our planned 1.0.0 release feature list is shaping up to be. It will be a fairly full-featured cart thanks to the developers at Magento having put so much hard work into their E-commerce system.

We will be offering a beta to all our clients in 2 weeks for you to try it out and decide if you want to switch over. Ya we are pulling 60 - 70 hour work weeks as we are very excited about this new release.

Here is a list of features:

Speed
  • Much better loading times on all parts of the rental system
Products
  • All the basics like product name, description, multiple images
  • Related products
  • Product tagging

Reservations
  • Easier to use reservation calendar. All is done from the product info page no separate calendar page now.
  • Tier based pricing. You set the price for as many rental periods as you want. The system will chose the appropriate price based on the rental period. 
  • FAST LOADING inventory calendar showing how much inventory you have of your reservation products by day
  • Ability to set the turnaround time on reservation products. Say you need 3 extra days before and 3 extra days after the reservation to get it ready or for shipping time.
