Today I'm pleased to announce that AliCommerce 2.0 is released officially after 6-month development. This is the first major release since AliCommerce 1.0 was released last October. Most feature and enhancement requests we received in last 8 months are implemented in this release. While a few important features are missing, we can still confidently say overall it's comparable to any asp.net shopping cart in the world, let alone DNN shopping cart.
In this release we changed the way AliCommerce is licensed to serve DNN community better. There are 3 commercial licenses now. The differences between them are as follow:
| |
Standard Edition |
Professional Edition |
Enterprise Edition |
| Product Limit |
150 products |
600 products |
Unlimited |

We changed refund policy for AliCommerce 2.0. Now it includes a 30-day money back guarantee. If you are dissatisfied with our product for any reason, you will receive a full refund if you cancel your order within 30 days of purchase date.
All the version 1.x customers are entitled to free upgrade to AliCommerce 2.0. If you placed your order on our website, please go to Your Account page to download the new packages. If you placed your order on snowcovered or DNN marketplace, please send us your user account on alicommerce.com by email, together with your order information, so we can update your user account to include access to AliCommerce 2.0. Once this is done, you should be able to download it from Downloads page. Because of changes in AliCommerce 2.0 licensing system, a new license key may be needed after upgrade. If you're running a production site on AliCommerce 1.x, you need to tell us your portal alias before upgrade.
