We have posted the new version of the Site Store Pro and WPCartPro shopping carts. The August 2022 release is our biggest release in over 5 years and contains tons of new features and a completely new and expanded WPCartPro WordPress shopping cart! Automated Database Install Now Included In All Versions! The database installation for new store installs is now completely automated and you can select if you want a clean store install or a demo store install directly from your browser during the cart activation. You no longer have to connect to your database server using a tool such as NaviCat or PHPMyAdmin to install the correct database file (clean or demo). In addition to the automated database install, the entire installation and activation process has been streamlined and we have updated both the WPCartPro and Site Store Pro Install Guides with the new, simple install sequence.
