Under Development

Next up on the code mill:

ELM 5

Payment module with configurable fields (a/k/a/ BROK_XTRAFIELDS) 5

Followed by Affiliate Manager 5 and Soft Goods 5.

Update, 8/13/07: We’re expecting ELM5 to take 6-8 weeks, as it is being rewritten from scratch (and a lot has changed in Merchant 5 with regard to the logging functions so we need to do a lot more manual capturing of parameters). Mike is returning from vacation today so I’ll follow up with news on Affiliate Manager 5 once I speak with him

We will have the documentation available for this next week (August 6 +)
