Open eShop 1.7 released! now available at Envato market with all themes

Open eShop is now better than ever as a full solution to sell any digital good online, we’ve been working really hard on this release and now there are many significant improvements.

Before we go over what changed we would like to announce that Open eShop is now available at Envato market and will be sold there with a fixed price of $50 that will include all themes and all features, you can check Open eShop at Envato codecanyon for more information.

Once you get the latest version of Open eShop your online store will be compliant with the new EU VAT regulation, and it will automatically calculate the taxes and add them to your product price when you activate it, so you shouldn’t worry about this because the software does it for you

We improved the translation panel a lot, now you can change any text or translate faster and more efficiently without facing any issue. This took a lot of work since the whole translation system had to be worked on.

Many more improvements, fixes and changes have been done which you can see at our Github repository.
