After the mobile app development, our team then worked to customize CS-Cart marketplace with custom features. We helped to create a secure login process for the new customers and vendors.
With the CS-Cart User Activation By Mail, in which customers receive the confirmation link after the creation of the account. As well as a pop-up notification on the website for the confirmation of account creation.
Hence, AngoShop got a secure account creation page for the customer that reduces spam signups and makes sure that the registered email belongs to the actual user.

Ordering Unavailable Products
We implemented the pre-ordering functionality in AngoShop. As the client wanted to allow their customers to buy products in advance that are not available in the store or are out of stock.
Customers can avail of orders in advance with specific tabs on the product page for the pre-order tab in AngoShop. All pre-order products will be visible in the variations of products with the same category only.
