If you have any questions about AspDotNetStorefront, let us address them. We can save you hundreds (maybe thousands) of dollars over those "expensive" (and now technology obsolete) carts!

1. What kind of stores will AspDotNetStorefront work for?

AspDotNetStorefront can support a wide range of store types including: general merchandise, clothing, music, software, food products, automotive products, books, computer products, etc. The storefront is specifically designed for the small to mid-size merchant, looking to exercise complete control over their customer experience, while minimizing recurring monthly costs.

2. What's the catch? Why is AspDotNetStorefront so inexpensive compared to the competitive products?

There are no catches...it is just that they are charging too much, in our opinion.

3. Is AspDotNetStorefront just a shopping cart?

No, AspDotNetStorefront is a fully implemented e-commerce store site and developers e-commerce toolkit, with embedded shopping cart classes, database, and administration site. We provide all of the features that competitors offer, for MUCH less cost, and no recurring monthly fees! You also get complete control of your storefront, so you can add customizations important for your business to succeed. We do not believe in the "one shopping cart fits all" mentality of a few years ago. Our solution is a professional, high performance, fully customizable solution for professional developers. If you need custom modifications, we can even do those for you. Take control of your store today, and stop paying those outrageous shopping cart startup and monthly fees!

4. What payment gateways are supported?

Please see the features page.

5. What payment types can the customer use when ordering?

Please see the features page.

6. Do I need a merchant account to try your product?

No, you can run the storefront in "manual" gateway mode, which just collects the credit card information. If you DO need a merchant account, consider looking here.

7. Do I need a merchant account if I want to use PayPal?

No, PayPal is also a merchant account, once you have one setup with them. The ML version now also supports PayPal Website Payments Pro, which acts like a real credit-card processing gateway.

8. Can I customize my store look?

Yes. AspDotNetStorefront uses a template driven approach called a skin. A skin is comprised of a html file, style sheet, and corresponding image graphics. Your store design can be customized to match your business style and industry, so your customer also has a completely seamless and unified experience. The customer does not leave your site to add items to the shopping cart or to checkout!

9. Does AspDotNetStorefront support secure transactions?

Yes. If you have a SSL certificate installed, AspDotNetStorefront uses it automatically. We require a dedicated SSL certificate tied to your www.yourdomain.com.

Yes. Each color and size can also change the product price. Furthermore, "color" and "size" can be renamed to other terms that better match your products if required.

12. Can I add features to AspDotNetStorefront?

For the ML, ML/DNN and IS versions, you have the option of purchasing source code in either C# or VB.NET, so just about any modifications/enhancements you need can be added. We also do a lot of custom requests/additions to AspDotNetStorefront...nearly every store deployed has slightly different requirements. Our DevNet Partners can also help with customizations.

13. Can I extend the database schema?

Yes. You will have full database schema. You can modify/extend the schema to do whatever you need.

14. Does AspDotNetStorefront work with other HTML templates?

Yes. Any just about any third party HTML template (or your existing site HTML) can be applied to AspDotNetStorefront as a skin, giving you control over your store's appearance. We also have skin designers who are familiar with our product.

24. Can I modify AspDotNetStorefront after purchase?

Yes. Many developers add their own custom requirements!

31. Can we tryout the admin site in demo mode?

Yes, the free trial includes a fully functional administration site. Click here to sign up for the free trial.

32. Does your software make any calls to your server?

The purchased version makes one call to our server on application start. You can remove this call by executing our source code licensing agreement, and removing that call, if you desire. We do this only to combat fraud, and no honest customrs have anything to worry about here, and that call can be removed very easily when properly licensed.

33. We want to process our orders and charges manually. Can we do that?

Yes. You can set the payment gateway to MANUAL and then download and process the orders via your back office system or POS system.

39. Can I install on a development server and a production server with one license.

Absolutely...we would expect you to do that as the normal course of doing business and developing web sites. We are easy to work with...all we ask is that you purchase a license for each production site you are deploying. We try to make it easy to do your job!

38. Where is FAQ # 38?.

it's right here, just checking to see if you were still paying attention ;)

40. How long do I get product updates.

The general company policies are:

a) Upgrades are free for 30 days after purchase

b) To get free product updates and support for 1 year, consider purchasing an Annual Support & Upgrades Contract. View your "my licenses" page to manage these.

41. I need to do a store site in a language that doesn't have a language pack. Can I do that?

Yes, we provide all strings used by the storefront site in an Excel file (ML version). You can just translate them, and upload into your SQL database.

42. Do I need to know asp.net to use this storefront?

No, once the storefront is installed, you manage your store using a web based control panel. Knowledge of asp.net (C# or VB.NET) may be needed only if you need to make very detailed low-level customizations to your storefront.

43. Do I need to know HTML to use this storefront?

No. HTML is needed only to create a skin for the storefront, but not to "use" the storefront once installed. If you need us to create a skin, that is also a service we provide.

44. Can I add the source option later, if I need?

A. Yes, source option can be added later for the same cost. Please note that after downloading source, returns are not allowed. Source is provided for all code, except our Encrypt DLL, in either C# or VB.NET.

45. Can I upgrade from ML to IS eBusiness Edition later?

A. Yes, that is supported, See the upgrades section on our site.

Q. Do my servers and development machines have to be running 64 bit operating systems to use ML/64?

No. AspDotNetStorefront ML/64 takes full advantage of .NET's capability to be architecture independent. When running on a 32 bit platform, ML/64 will operate in 32-bit mode without ANY interaction from the user, and when deployed to a 64-bit environment, will automatically switch to 64-bit mode. No costly and time consuming upgrades are required whatsoever.

Q. What is the advantage of using a 64-bit architecture?

A. The advantages of using a 64 bit platform are twofold. First, larger servers with multiple fast, modern multi-core processors are no longer limited to 2GB of memory in an application pool. This allows your site to scale beyond what would be possible on a 32-bit server. Secondly, you are helping to ensure that your site remains compatible with technologies that cannot co-exist with 32 bit applications. Services like Microsoft Exchange and Sharepoint 64-bit editions can now theoretically be run on the same server as AspDotNetStorefront, saving time, expense, and management effort.

Q. Why are some gateways not supported in ML/64?

A. Certain legacy gateways require 32-bit only components to operate. When running in 64-bit mode, it is not possible to mix 32-bit and 64-bit components.

Q. Is there a performance benefit to using ML/64?

While individual operations will not execute faster in 64-bit mode, by enabling the site to use more memory you now have the option of using faster, more robust hardware without being limited by the maximum 2GB memory limit imposed on 32-bit application pools.

Q. What is DNN (DotNetNuke)?

A. DotNetNuke is an open-source Web Application Framework ideal for creating and deploying projects such as commercial websites, corporate intranets and extranets, online publishing portals, and custom vertical applications.

DotNetNuke is provided as open-source software, licensed under a BSD agreement. In general, this license grants the general public permission to obtain the software free-of-charge. It also allows individuals to do whatever they wish with the application framework, both commercially and non-commercially, with the simple requirement of giving credit back to the DotNetNuke project community.

DotNetNuke is built on a Microsoft ASP.NET (VB.NET) platform, and is easily installed and hosted. With a growing community of over 440,000 users, and a dedicated base of programming professionals, support for DotNetNuke is always close at hand.

There's a very good overview of the DNN framework and it's capabilities. Check it out.
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/default.aspx?tabid=777

You can also sign up for an online demo, no installation needed. http://demo.dotnetnuke.com

Q. What version of DNN do I need to have to use AspDotNetStorefront ML/DNN?

A. DNN version 4.5.1 or higher is required.

Q. What makes AspDotNetStorefront ML/DNN different than other DNN "storefronts"?

A. We bring our robust and market leading feature set from AspDotNetStorefront ML to the ML/DNN version, including features such as Real Time shipping support, Google & Yahoo site maps. For a complete feature list, see our features matrix page. We also make full source available for a very affordable price, to allow customizations for developers building out turnkey or custom sites for clients.

Q. Is AspDotNetStorefront ML/DNN VISA PABP Certified?

A. Not yet, but it is planned. We will be working with the DNN core team shortly on obtaining VISA PABP certification for the ML/DNN version. While AspDotNetStorefront ML is fully VISA PAPB Certified, due to the deep integration with the DNN core user roles, login, and security, the ML/DNN version must be separately certified. The ML/DNN version is based on our fully certified ML 7.0 codebase, so we expect that certifying ML/DNN will be a straightforward process. For example, the ML/DNN version uses the same payment gateway core code used in our ML 7.0 version.

Q. Can you mix DNN modules and ML/DNN modules together (e.g. add a Blog + ML/DNN XmlPackage)?

A. Yes, ML/DNN modules can be displayed with other DNN modules on the same page. This is one of the big advantages to the DotNetNuke platform, where you literally have access to hundreds of commercial modules that you can add into your DNN site along with AspDotNetStorefront. Modules include things like document libraries, forums, knowledge bases, image galleries, calendaring and scheduling modules, blog modules, etc. This is one of the most exciting parts of DNN is the ability to use and integration cross-modules on the same site to expand and enhance functionality. AspDotNetStorefront was designed with help from the core DNN engineering team, to ensure seamless user role integration, common login, and module compatibility.

Q. Is source code available for ML/DNN?

A. Source is optionally available for $995, in either C# or VB.NET. You must sign our Source License Agreement (SLA) also agreeing not to redistribute source code. Additionally, after downloading source code, no returns are allowed. When purchasing full source, these steps are all automated by our own site, making the process very easy to order. With full source, you are NEVER limited to the functionality we provide, and you can fully customize, adapt, extend or otherwise add your own required features into the storefront to meet the requirements of your own, or your clients needs.

Q. Are reseller discounts available?

A. Yes, We offer discounts on 3 or more licenses, starting at 20% and going as high as 45%.

Q. What hosts are supported?

A. AspDotNetStorefront ML/DNN is compatible with nearly all DNN friendly hosts. In particular, hosts with solid reputations like PowerDNN.com are excellent choices at affordable prices, offering a professional level of hosting services. We again suggest that you get exactly what you pay for in hosting, so if you pick the cheapest host on the block, you just purchased the cheapest hosting/performance/security/support also in nearly all cases. So please remember that your choice of host is also a critical factor in the overall success of your e-commerce platform.

Q. Is ML/DNN a set of modules?

A. Yes. We provide 8 DNN modules:

ASPDNSF_Affiliate
ASPDNSF_Checkout
ASPDNSF_Entity
ASPDNSF_GiftRegistry
ASPDNSF_Product
ASPDNSF_Topic
ASPDNSF_Wishlist
ASPDNSF_XMLPackage

Q. Can I add ML/DNN to my existing DNN site or do I have to start from scratch?

A. You can add ML/DNN modules to your existing DNN site. We suggest that you backup your web.config and siteurls.config before doing any upgrade or install. Also, these two files need to be writable. ML/DNN checkout module will modify these two files.

Q. What are the differences between ML and ML/DNN? For example, what payment gateways does ML/DNN support?

A. The ML/DNN product is designed specifically to be installed into a DotNetNuke portal site. The ML version is designed for those creating a new website from scratch (or converting an old/existing site onto our platform). For a comparison of features available by product version, see our feature matrix for a full checklist. Most DotNetNuke developers would choose the ML/DNN product. If you are not using DotNetNuke, you would probably use the ML standalone version, which doesn't require DotNetNuke. For a full features matrix, click here.

Q. Will your new offering for DotNetNuke provide integrated SSL support... or will a third party SSL module be required?

A. Yes, SSL support is included and does not require a third party module. Note: For reference on this question, the versions of DNN below 4.5.4 did not provide native SSL support. There was no way to designate some pages as requiring SSL and some pages as not requiring SSL. To solve this, you usually had to buy a third party add-on.

Q. Are multiple portal installations of ML/DNN supported?

A. No. ML/DNN can be installed in a multi-portal DNN environment, but can only exist once and only in one of the portals. DotNetNuke portals can be either a parent or a child portal. Child portals can be accessed on the URL with a domain like www.dnnhost.com/childportal. Parent portals are only portals that can be accessed by using their own domain name like www.parentportal.com or subdomain.dnnhost.com.

Q. Can each portal store have a different skin?

A. Yes.

Q. Is there a common login for all portals?

A. Yes, DNN host accounts are cross portals.

Q. Does ML/DNN use native DNN roles?

A. Yes, we use DNN Administrator role and DNN Host role.

Q. Can portals share ML/DNN data?

A. ML/DNN is designed to keep data separated by portal.

Q. Are Google & Yahoo site maps supported?

A. Yes. For a full features matrix, click here.

Q. Can I move from ML to ML/DNN? What data is lost, how do I do that conversion?

A. Yes, more info coming soon on how to do this...

Q. Are DNN Skins fully supported by ML/DNN?

A. Yes, and more info coming soon....

Q. How do I install the ML/DNN modules?

A. Unzip your provided ML/DNN download file. The installation instructions can be found in the AspDotNetStorefront DNN Install Guide.doc file from the extracted zip file.

Q. Can I use a custom payment provider (not listed in supported payment providers)?

A. Yes, you can. You must have the source code however to add a new payment gateway provider. You'll need to write an additional class file and compile it into the ASPDNSFGateways project. You'll also need to modify a few other files including, but not limited to: the Gateways.cs class file in the ASPDNSFGateways project to account for your new gateway, AppLogic.cs in the ASPSNFCommon project, and orderconfirmation.aspx.cs. If you are concerned with PCI compliance you'll also need to make sure that you follow all PABP/PCI guidelines, which we have done in our own gateway implementations.

Q. Can I use an SQL 2000 database for ML/DNN modules?

A. No, ML/DNN requires SQL 2005 or SQL 2005 express.

Q. I created a new DNN host user account. Why do I get the following error message when logging into ML/DNN admin site with the new DNN host user account? "Either you are not currently logged in, or you do not have access to this content."

A. You need an AspDotNetStorefront customer account. To fix this problem, log in as the new host user and browse to Host > AspDotNetStorefront Install. Scroll down the page and click on the "Create customer" link.

Q. I created a new DNN admin user account. Why do I get the following error message when logging into ML/DNN admin site with the new DNN admin user account? "Either you are not currently logged in, or you do not have access to this content."

A. You need a AspDotNetStorefront customer account and admin permission. Login as host and browse to ML/DNN admin site. Browse to Users > View/Edit Customers and click on the "Set Admin" button for the user account you want to set an AspDotNetStorefront admin. You can also browse to Users > Edit Admin Users and assign admin permissions with user email addresses.

Q. I get the following error message when loading the ML/DNN admin site. A critical error has occurred. The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

A. This is a known issue with IIS & DotNetNuke which has been reported in the DNN forums. A partial workaround is to shorten the local path by moving your website closer to the root of the drive.

Using IIS Manager, stop your DNN website
Move the files from c:\inetpub\wwwroot\dotnetnuke to c:\dnn (or another drive)
Verify permissions on the new folder (as per DNN installation instructions)
In IIS Manager|Websites|DotNetNuke Properties||Home Directory Tab, change the local path to your new location
Restart the website.

Another workaround is to modify your web.config file. Changed the defaultProvider to BroadcastPollingCachingProvider

Q. Can I export to QuickBooks from the ML/DNN version?

A. No, we have not yet added the T-Hub QuickBooks sync support to the ML/DN. It will likely be available in the first service release.

Q. I get the following error message after installing ML/DNN modules. You MUST set your HashAlgorithm in the AppConfig manager in the admin site to an allowed valid value! This is required for security reasons.

A. The AppConfig table didn't get cached correctly. To correct the error, restart your DNN application. Login as Host. Click Host >Host Settings and then scroll to the bottom and click the "restart application" link.

Q. How can I create a custom XML package for the XMLPackage module?

A. Create a custom XML package and copy it to the /Portals/0/aspdnsf/XMLPackages/ folder. The package will then be displayed in the drop down box in XML Package settings.

Q. I have several DNN modules with the "Display Module On All Pages" selected and they do not show on all pages when a user selects a category?

A. To display categories on all pages, please use the XMLPackage module. Set module settings by selecting "menu.categories" in XML Package Settings. XMLPackage can be displayed on all pages. Entity module redirects users to the first page that has the applicable AspDotNetStorefront module. URL rewriter doesn't redirect requests of Entity module to multiple pages.

Q. I don't see the latest changes I made on the modules. How can I correct this?

A. This may be a result of cache. Please make sure that your browser is set to get the most updated pages at every visit. You can also change the cache settings in DNN. Login as Host. Browse to Host > Host Settings > Advanced Settings > Performance Settings.

Q. When clicking on the product or category links, I get a page 404 error message.

A. ML/DNN requires changes in the DNN url rewriter, SiteUrls.config. Please check if the file exists before installation and that it is set to be writable. Follow our ML/DNN documentation to add the required URL rewrite rules to support the AspDotNetStorefront modules.

Q. After installing ML/DNN modules, I get the following error message. The files '/ASPDNNSF_Demo/App_Code/HTML/HtmlTextInfo.vb' and '/ASPDNNSF_Demo/App_Code/Aspdnsf/PageBase.cs' use a different language, which is not allowed since they need to be compiled together.

A. The following section should be added to your web.config file.
<codeSubDirectories>
<add directoryName="HTML"/>
<add directoryName="Aspdnsf"/>
</codeSubDirectories>

Q. When I click on the product page, I get redirected to the home page.

A. Product module redirects users to home page if there is no product id specified. This is done to prevent blank product screen from displaying. Also, product module should only be added to the hidden product page.

Q. Do you offer support & update contracts for the IS eBusiness Edition?

A. Yes, just like with other AspDotNetStorefront products, we provide support & updates free for 30 days from purchase. To get support & updates for 12 months, the cost is $299. You can purchase this support & update contract at time of purchase or after purchase. If purchased after initial license purchase, it will still only add 12 months to when your free updates date ended.

NOTE: Our support & update contracts ONLY cover the AspDotNetStorefront IS web module client. For support & updates on Interprise Suite itself, you must obtain a separate support/maintenance contract from Interprise Suite directly at http://www.interprisesuite.com

NOTE: Europe customers should purchase the AspDotNetStorefront IS eBusiness Edition from our exclusive U.K. reseller: http://www.interprisesuite.co.uk.
