Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance is a complex and ever evolving subject affecting millions of businesses – acquiring banks, Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs), processors, hosts, shopping carts, e-commerce and retail merchants and other merchant services providers. This system now meets the strict guidelines set by the Payment Card industry and ensures our processes around the use of credit cards meets their strict requirements. Being PCI compliant is important as many payment gateways around the world now require compliance for those wishing to process payments in real-time on their websites.

Now you can purge one, many or all Web App items with a click of button. To do so go to any Web App (Modules->Web Apps->Choose Web App). When viewing the list of items simply use the Action drop down to purge items.

Ever wanted to link Web Apps together? Imagine you have a Web App for listing students. With this feature you can now link Students to Courses and so forth. So when viewing a list of students you'd be able to click on the courses each student is enrolled in and effectively be viewing a different Web App. To enable this exciting feature go to Admin->Build Web Apps->Choose a Web App to edit. You'll now be able to add a new field type called Data Source. When you choose this type of field you'll be able to then choose another Web App to link this Web App to.

We've made some significant improvements to our WYSIWYG editor, specifically around the way it produces HTML markup. Since all WYSIWYG editors use the browser's rending engine it proves complicated to address all the browser quirks. However the recent improvements get us closer to ensuring the code the WYSIWYG editor produces is perfect.

We've also added support for Google Chrome. If you are a fan of this new web browser then you can use it to edit your web pages in the WYSIWYG editor. Please note that we officially only support Internet Explorer and Firefox on the PC and Safari and Firefox on Mac.

Ever wanted to sell recurring products in your online shop? Now you can. For any given product you can choose its recurring cycle and have the system automatically create orders that recur when a customer purchases such products.

To take advantage of this new and exciting feature:

• Go to eCommerce->Products and choose a product
• Click on "Show More Options" and locate "Cycle Type" drop down
• Set the appropriate recurring frequency for this product, you can choose between Once, Daily, Weekly, Fortnightly, Monthly, Quarterly, Half Yearly and Yearly

Now for example if a customer buys a handful of products in which a couple have a monthly recurring cycle, then upon successfully paying for the order the system will create a new recurring order with the recurring products. The system will use payment details from the initial order for subsequent recurring orders. Also the original shipping charges will apply to subsequent orders.

We've enabled Word Verification or Captcha for our Refer-a-Friend and Campaign Subscription forms to reduce the amount of spam submission that is generated via such forms. To take advantage of this new feature simply go to any web page or site-wide template that has one of these forms and replace it with an updated version of the form. The captcha field will be on the form when the form is re-inserted.

We've added 2 new credit card options to our web forms feature that'll help you streamline and automate your online business. Currently we have one credit card option that simply allows you to collect and process payments in real-time, e.g. collect donations. The 2 new options allow you to:

• Process existing invoices - If you are using the Order/Invoicing framework in this system, then you can manually or automatically send invoices to your customers and have them visit a specific page on your website, enter the relevant invoice number and pay for it in real-time using their credit card.
• Update credit card details - This feature is particularly useful if you are using our recurring billing engine. You can now put the 'Update Credit Card Details' form on any web page and have your customers visit this web page as and when they need to update their credit card details.

To learn more please go to: Modules->Web Forms.

For those of you who are utilizing the 'Web App Input Form' on your website, you'd know that you can automatically classify all submissions into one or more categories. Now you can go one step further and allow customers to choose the categories an item should be classified under. For example if you have an employment site that your website customers can submit jobs to, now you can incorporate a list box on your form that allows them to choose the relevant categories. For more details please contact our support team.

Are you using more than one URL for your website? Do you want to have a different Start Page for each URL? Previously you could specify only one Start Page which would be used for all your URLs. We've changed this behavior to give you far more control as to the Start Page you want to use for each URL. To take advantage of this feature simply go to: Admin->Manage Domains and choose the relevant domain and set its Start Page. You can also still set the Start Page when working with a Web Page which will apply that to the default URL of your website.

You can now specify a separate title for each of your blogs. Up until recently the blog name was used as the page title, however due to demand and improved SEO there is now an option to specify a separate title for each blog. To take advantage of this simply go to: Website->Blogs->Choose a Blog and click on 'Show More Options'.

A much sought after request, now you can with a click of a button opt-out all the email addresses that bounced for a given campaign. To take advantage of this feature simply go to any delivered campaign and click to view the 'bounced report'. Then from the Action drop-down choose to unsubscribe from all bounces.
