VG7 E-COMMERCE MODULE
From B2B to B2C:
The e-commerce of the future
VG7 E-commerce is the perfect tool to sell your print products online, regardless of the type of goods and services your company offers.
Thanks to this module you will have a virtual shop perfectly synchronized with your production processes and you will be able to retain your current customers and acquire new ones online. The platform offers specific features to optimize sales and simplify the purchasing process, even for complex products, automatically determining the most efficient solution.
MAIN FEATURES
Customized layout design
VG7 E-commerce offers graphic layouts designed according to the specific needs of print products (for example, publications with different specs for inside pages, cover and inserts, or coupled panels with free format and finishes), to simplify the configuration of estimates for the customer.
Simple products and VG7 Print Configurator integration (print products, labels, packaging, etc.)
The system supports both products with a fixed sales price or according to quantity ranges (for example, displays, boxes, products purchased from third parties) as well as goods with a price determined by VG7 Print (comparing different technologies for different components, to return the most economical sales price).
Restricted and b2b access areas
Allows to diversify your offer to the customers, reserving specific price lists and products for some of them. With a single website you can create multiple reserved areas dedicated to certain categories of customers or individual customers, who with their credentials will be able to view products and sections not visible to others.
Multiple and fractional shipments
Allows the user to enter multiple shipping addresses for the same order line, also choosing the quantities to be sent to each address. It is also possible to establish a different type of shipment for each split created.
Print file upload and PDF controller
Allows the customer to independently upload the print files, directly from the thank you page at the order confirmation or in the user area. The PDF controller also allows the control of PDF documents, to check if they are suitable for printing and indicate any errors present in a preview.
Saving of the cart
Allows users registered on the site to save the entire contents of the cart and retrieve it at a later time to confirm the order. In addition, if a customer places products in the cart before logging in, these will be kept after logging in and combined with those already present.
Advanced Product Search (AccelaSearch)
In addition to the classic keyword search, it allows the configuration of filters in each section of the site. It is possible to create filters by color, size, dimension, gender, etc. In this way, the customer will be facilitated in the search for products and will finalize the purchase more quickly.
Secure payment methods
Supports different payment methods for online purchases, for example: PayPal, MultiSafepay, Satispay, integration with payment gateway, cash on delivery, advance bank transfer.
Web-to-print multistorefront
Allows to create and manage multiple e-commerce websites from a single VG7 management system. Choose how many and which products from the catalog to send to each web platform, customize texts and images and make each sales channel unique.
Discount codes and promotions
Allows to create promotional campaigns or assign credits to the most loyal users, with promo codes (for a fixed or percentage reduction), pay-as-you-go credits (to pay for the whole or part of the order), credit collection on purchases (earning credits for each purchase) and cards pre-loaded with credits.
Integration with external suppliers
VG7 E-commerce supports the fast and massive import of thousands of products (for example, clothing and gadgets) from one or more suppliers and the constant updating of price lists and stocks. The import can be done via XML, CSV or Web Service.
Sharing products between platforms
Allows to share products between VG7 platforms and publish them on the storefronts, facilitating both the retailer, who does not have to worry about technical-economic configurations, and the supplier, who receives the order directly according to his specifications.
Advanced grid for quantity/shipping date
Thanks to this feature, it is possible to provide the customer, on the product detail page, with prices in a table that cross-references different quantities and delivery dates, allowing a quick and intuitive comparison.
User area
The User Area allows the end customer to track the status of his orders, invoicing and shipping data, and payment status. In addition, from this area the customer can upload his graphic file and edit it.
Customization editor
This module is designed to meet the needs of users who do not have in-depth knowledge of graphics, but still want to independently design the project to be printed.
It is a useful tool to help customers finalize online purchases, producing correct files ready for printing, also thanks to the use of pre-configured graphic templates, a valuable guide to the realization of the project.
Shipping Methods
The VG7 ERP allows you to set a price list per country, per region or per postcode based on the actual or volumetric weight of the product.
Each courier has its own price list and shipping costs can be calculated per line or per total Order.
Integration with external supplier catalog in the printing sector (Flyeralarm, etc.)

THE PERFECT E-COMMERCE TEMPLATE
FOR EVERY TYPE OF PRODUCT
A series of templates designed for each printing industry with the goal of creating
specific features and customizations, always ensuring the maximum
result in terms of interface usability (UI) and user experience (UX).
Easily and intuitively create cumulative orders with different sizes, colors and quantities.The system allows you to display different stocks for various combinations of sizes and colors, as well as to manage the customization of different parts of the item.
Configure specific variants based on the product, setting delivery days and discounts based on the processings. Set which items to manage with free format and which with constrained choices. Display the table by quantities and delivery days, with any applied percentages and incompatibilities.
Show specific fields based on the publishing product (e.g., number of pages for the textblock and possible inserts, free or fixed dimensions for the flaps, different finishes for the textblock and cover) and create custom areas for your customers (e.g., dedicated products and price lists for different publishers).
Allow customers to choose format, application type, unwinding, output direction, inner and outer diameter. Already during configuration, a preview of the label can be viewed.
Offer your customers items with multiple components in an unified way: differentiated die-cutting and laminating, choices for cover lining flaps in products that can include them, different materials and print settings for cover lining and inside lining.
