CAPTCHA for Forms – New storeBlox 2 Option
October 14, 2010
CAPTCHAs can help reduce spam form submissions
Are you getting spam form submissions on your storeBlox 2 website? Quote requests from random users in Russia? You might need CAPTCHA for your web forms. A CAPTCHA tool helps prevent spam by forcing a visitor to re-type visual information.
eBlox can install CAPTCHA on your problematic web forms to help prevent automated submissions. Please note that even CAPTCHAs are not foolproof, so while they tend to reduce spam submissions, they rarely completely eliminate them. Before you add CAPTCHA to your site, you should also be aware that, because CAPTCHAs do take time to fill out, they can sometimes result in abandonment by legitimate users. We recommend them only when spam form submissions have become unmanageable.
CAPTCHAs are available now for all storeBlox 2 customers. Contact us for more information.
Listing Detail Rollovers – New storeBlox 2 Feature
October 12, 2010
Rollovers show more detail at a glance
Want to give your customers quick access to product details while they’re searching and browsing? Listing Detail Rollovers show extensive product details just by moving the mouse over a product icon in search listings and product listings. Customers can view color options, full grid pricing and other details.
These rollovers automatically pull product details, so there’s no additional work for you to other than to define the details you want to see in the rollover. The rollovers will follow the existing visual style of your site, but will generally require a small amount of design and review before implementing. This feature can make the browsing experience much richer, especially for customers looking for particular colors or options. Try it out here!
Listing Rollovers are available for storeBlox 2 e-commerce platform customers right now! Just contact us for details.
storeBlox CS: Group Management
September 30, 2010Need to control access to a set of products? How about restricting budget access to a pool of customers without having to choose each one individually?
storeBlox CS Group Management
Enhanced Group Management is here. Manage any payment method or product access model with groups. Create custom group registration landing pages so that any user visiting the page becomes a member of the group automatically upon registering.
Here are just some of the things you can do with groups now:
- Build custom “invite” pages with custom messaging. When a user visits this page, they view your custom message and automatically become a group member upon registering.
- Total control of product/category access. Got a public company store but you need to show special corporate-only products to your internal marketing staff? Maybe you have certain products only available to franchisees. Groups allow you to control product access any way you want.
- Assign payment methods and other privileges. Use groups to give pools of users access to specific payment methods and other special site features. Those franchisees that need to buy uniforms? Give them a budget or purchase order to use while hiding those payment methods from the general public.
