How Much is Lunch?

Beta 7 is out and with it we’ve added an even slicker lightbox, work with even more themes, and have, we hope, nailed down all the IE6 bugs -- but IE 6 always seems to come up with new and unique ways to frustrate developers -- and that’s why this is still a beta.

But we’re getting very very close to release quality with this build. In fact, we wanted to test our registration code so we’ve turned on the Buy Now button. Sorry, I guess there’s no free lunch after all.

Hopefully, if you’ve been using GoogaLoom for a while it’s already paid for itself and it will be a easy business decision. If you haven’t been selling with GoogaLoom, well, what are you waiting for?! Grab some stuff, put up a page and let’s get selling!

What's New?

• New LightBox
• Better Internet Explorer 6 compatability
• Improved CSS is compatible with more themes.
• Registration is now enabled.

How Much?

GoogaLoom is now on sale for $19.95.

Requirements

RapidWeaver 3.6 and Mac OS X 10.4

A Bit More Time

We’ve added just a few more minor tweaks to this beta and we’ve also extended the beta period so that you can keep enjoying GoogaLoom free of charge for a bit longer.

What's New?

• Beta period extended an extra month in case we need a bit more time.
• GoogaLoom should now properly save custom CSS and custom templates.

How Much?

We have not announced the price of GoogaLoom yet. Until then you can use the beta free of charge When the beta period ends, pricing will be similar to PayLoom.

Requirements

RapidWeaver 3.6 and Mac OS X 10.4

Google, eCommerce, and RapidWeaver. Three great things that go better together.

Ever since we released PayLoom last year we’ve been hounded to add some of the competition. Google Checkout, of course, was high on the list. With Google you get a slick payment system, inexpensive or even free processing (for AdWords users), and a brand that the whole world trusts to, “do no evil.”

Beta 1

This is our first beta release of GoogaLoom, so there are bound to be a few bugs. Obviously, you may want to hold off using this for mission critical sites. But in return for the growing pains, we’ve made this release free of any registration or constraints. GoogaLoom will be for sale when we make the final release, but until then feel free to play, build sites, and let us know what you think.

Fun New Toys

We’ve tried hard to maintain a consistancy between the PayLoom and GoogaLoom interfaces -- hiding as many of the HTML differences as we possibly can. But the reality is that PayPal and Google Checkout are really quite different. Different enough that the GoogaLoom has some interesting features you may want to check out.

Floating Cart

Rather than forwarding you off to another server, GoogaLoom uses Javascript to float the cart right on your store webpage. This keeps your customers engaged and gives immediate feedback to their actions.

Options, Overrides, and Custom Controls

Google gives you total freedom in defining production options. You can add as many as you like, each with a set of predefined choices, price overrides, and interface options. Of course learning how to build this into your web site could be a real chore, but with GoogaLoom you can easily add and remove options, change prices, and mix up the interface.

Power User Control

Fine tune your cart with power user features that let your web store feel like an integrated part of your site.
Of course, you don’t need to use these settings, we’ve found some nice defaults so if you need to get your store up and running, you don’t have to change a thing.

And More

There are even more fun new things to play with, but this being a beta release, you’re supposed to explore a bit, so I’ll save the rest as an exercise for the reader.
