Chris and I always joke that every project is in "beta" so we can sound cool.....but now we really do have something in beta mode!....and we've already 'cliche'd' ourselves!

We just launched our new store program in 'beta' as I said and hoping it'll take a couple weeks for us to get it, what, out of beta?  Anyway, on to the fun stuff, the new store features:

1. ok, another jargon word we try to stay away from, the store is an API......which means nothing to most, but gives a more advanced user the ability to develop a store, take the html and edit it client side......meaning you can create a store, get the html, plug it into your static website, then change the layout, look, feel, pictures, etc (basically anything) then when someone clicks 'add to cart' they pass to our cart and checkout process.  we receive the order, charge the card, send out the custom garments and instantly give you a credit for your profit margin

2. every garment on our website can be used on your store

3. you may include printed and embroidered apparel

4. you may use our stock designs and lettering and pay no set-up charge

5. they is no monthly fee

6. obviously, no inventory

7. you may use credits instantly to purchase your own garments

8. you can earn 10% (average order is $300) referring folks to the corporate casuals' main site

Chris just launched our cool new checkout path using ajax!!!...along with a lot of other features i'll post later this weekend.  new checkout for embroidered and custom t-shirts is now just a three click process.  Items in the cart, add logos (in one convenient screen) and checkout.  couldn't be more simple.

the site is also dressed up with a few new 'look and feel' updates....more sunday night....

fantastic news for smaller companies looking to advertise on a cost-per-action basis!  Google's release of the beta for this service should be incredible for advertises not interested in paying LinkShare, Commision Junction $10-12K to set up an account on their network.
