A good software architecture is not just writing clean code, it also includes capability of having add-on plugins that allows developers to extend the features of a software. nopCommerce is one of those good software that follows a great architecture and allows developers to create plugins.

The latest version of nopCommerce offers an improved way to manage plugins in nopCommerce.

Many nopCommerce users have been requesting the rental feature in nopCommerce since a long time. Finally, with the release of nopCommerce 3.50, this "in-demand" feature has been added  to nopCommerce solution.

Today we will be discussing, how to add a rental product in nopCommerce.

Until now, the functionality of adding specification attributes for any product only allowed store owners to display attribute values as simple plain text. Now, with the release of new nopCommerce 3.5 version, a store owner can easily add specification attributes values in several types like:

(Options)

- Custom text

- HTML text

-Hyperlink







It would be very useful to have a "type" property that would define the way the value will be displayed in the product detail: text (default), link, download, or HTML text. Thus it will give a lot of flexibility for attaching user manuals, brochures, (example in "folleto" tab) , specification tables, Excel sheets, etc. or making links or displaying specifications with more flexibility.



P.S. Note that link, color square, image, etc can be supported by "HTML text" type. So there's no need to add support for all of them

There are many store owners who are taking advantage of multi-store feature in nopCommerce. This feature has become quite matured since it was originally added to nopCommerce. With every new version of nopCommerce, a new feature for multi-store is usually added depending on the most requested features.

A very useful feature has been added in the latest nopCommerce 3.50 version that allows store owners to send campaigns / emails to subscribers of a particular store while using multi-store feature in nopCommerce.
