New Updates …
We’ve not been idling over the summer, we have been incredibly busy despite the credit crunch! I must firstly apologise for not keeping the blog up to date. There is a new version of the Windows software on the downloads page that has some minor feature enhancements, and a new version of the web-based software will be available next week.
Also on the downloads page are new versions of the manuals. They are much more comprehensive and tell you in detail how to complete many of the tasks that you might normally call support about.
New Server Cluster goes live!
Over the last few weeks we have been busy installing new hardware and software in our new data centre in Manchester. We hope to have all our customer web sites moved onto the new servers by the middle of September.
We’ve done extensive testing, and the Phosys system is now capable of distributing the sites over different servers.
During the move, your web site will be available on at least two servers so that you and your customers will not notice any downtime. PC users will have to download the latest version of the software (2.10.5) from www.phosys.com, which will automatically point you the correct server in the new cluster. Web application users should notice no change, as logging into any of our servers will automatically log you in correctly.
We apologise for any inconvienience during the move, but the majority of our customers should not notice any change.

New Checkout Features
We’ve just finished work on a number of new features for the Phosys Checkout system with more going live tomorrow.
The Checkout will automatically be displayed in the language associated with the users browser. What this means is that if a visitor from the Netherlands (Dutch is our first translated language) visits your site, the Checkout will be automatically translated for them. The currency displayed will still be the currency associated with your shop, and all transactions will be in your currency.
Because other countries don’t require all the address information like the British address system (e.g Title and County), the new basket will only capture information relevant to the country that the shopper is from:
We’re also planning to go live tommorrow with two new Internet Payment Providers – ePay (for our Danish and Scandinavian customers) and Barclays ePDQ.
Video Feeds
It is now possible to stream video using Phosys! We’ve incorporated a flash viewer that can play a variety of different formats including mp3, mp4, flv, rtmp, swf, rbs, 3gp and m4v. (more…)
Popup Basket
Rather than having just a basket page on your web site, it’s now possible just to have a “popup” basket if you prefer!
