Storefront langauge has been removed from core code and can be translated into new language sets. Wording/Phrases can also be overriden in templates and other manager areas
Integration of modern responsive front-end frameworks such as Bootstrap 3 which allows you to prototype your templates faster. Bootstrap 4 and Materialize CSS 1.0 coming shortly.
Route 66 brings a new widget system that replaces cutting and pasting code into templates. Now you can enable HTML widgets and then arrange the order of appearance using drag and drop
Manager screens are mobile ready and have been rearranged into new manager screens with tabs that group admin functions together facilitating easier store management.
AgoraCart has been optimized for better SEO practices, such as removing underscores in URLs, adding schema.org metadata, and improving the management of category page metadata
The AgoraCart backbone is built using Perl 5 and now rewritten and restructured giving you access to cleaner and easier code to manage along with a community to support it

AgoraCart is one of the early open source ecommerce shopping cart software solutions that for nearly 20 years has been offering small businesses and online retailers more flexibility, power, and customization on a small or larger scale. AgoraCart can be easily installed on your existing website or it can be hosted and managed for you. Built as Open Source Software ( OSS ) using Perl 5, our ecommerce shopping cart software is community driven in its design and development, which keeps the focus on the merchant needs.
Other carts copying our features or flexibility is indeed a form of flattery as we enjoy seeing how our small bits of innovation has helped to change the landscape for small businesses online for nearly 20 years. However, our "secret sauce" is in the undocumented flexibility and power that can be like a hidden universe that only the bold explorers ( called AgoraNauts ) dare discover.
AgoraCart is very flexible design wise and offers a very wide range of functions & features that allow you to setup an online storefront by using either the available templates or by creating your own. AgoraCart's flexible modular system also allows you complete customization of the UI / UX ( user interface / user experience) and the CX (cutomer experience) using templates including the store's headers & footers, product pages (ppincs), order forms, thank you pages, custom emails, CSS files, HTML widgets, and even the Plug in and Play modules. In the end, AgoraCart can be as simple or complex as you make it.
We hope you have enjoyed using AgoraCart and if you feel like it has helped you out and want to support the team you can help us by visiting our sponsors, donating or backing us on Patreon, or becoming a Gold Supporter and enjoying the extra benefits. Any amount would help support and continue development on this project and is greatly appreciated.
