MAIA eCommerce 6.1

Display your product images fully automatically in responsive full-screen mode. Integrate your product range into your weblog with customised product streams. Show a manufacturer's most popular products on manufacturer-specific landing pages. Create individual offers that can be accepted directly via the shopping basket. And offer your customers the option of requesting customised offers for individual products or entire shopping baskets. The June upgrade again offers many useful functions.

Shopping basket offers

The majority of our customers sell products as part of a personalised consultation. Whether on the phone or directly in the shop. Give these customers time to consider your offer at their leisure. With the newly introduced function, you can create a customised shopping basket offer for your customers. They can view the offer directly in their shopping basket and accept it using the order function.

• You only need the customer's e-mail address to send the offer. The customer does not have to enter extensive contact details in advance. In this way, you specifically avoid barriers that could prevent contact being made.
• The customer can conveniently use the payment methods available in the online shop to accept the offer. It couldn't be more convenient for the customer.

You can find more details in our documentation.

Obtain quotes

You can't convince all customers with one price. Negotiating skills are often required, especially for high-priced items or a larger order. However, many customers are reluctant to make contact, which is why TYRIOS version 6.1 offers you the option of requesting specific quotations. You can allow this for individual products as well as for entire shopping baskets once an order amount has been reached.

You can find more details in our documentation.

More comprehensive product management

The product display has become even more flexible with MAIA 6.1. This allows you to control the product display more specifically:

• Display price publicly: You can now define on an item-specific basis whether a price should be displayed publicly or whether the price is available "on request". In combination with the newly introduced offer function, this provides you with completely new business models, particularly in the service sector, where a customised, project-specific approach is necessary.
• Activate shopping basket function: You can now specify whether an item can be purchased via the order process, regardless of stock levels. This allows you to provide information about the product even before it is available and thus be found early on, especially in search engines.
• Activate the offer function: You can now specify for each item whether the customer should be able to request a customised quote.

A number of additional standard fields have also been added, including

• Specification of a unit. The unit is also transferred to the invoice (if the template outputs the unit)
• Base price dimension and unit price
• Dimensions and weight
• Colour
• Gender
• Age group
• Material
• Pattern
• Size, size type and size system
• Energy efficiency class

It is now also possible to label multipacks, product packages and adult products more precisely.

In addition to internal use, the extended product data is also passed on to Google, so that product variants in particular (if Google supports them) are easier to find.

The new product fields are not displayed in the standard design. The only exception: the calculated base price is displayed next to the price.

Full-screen zoom function

For several months, TYRIOS has been checking the existing product images and marking images that are too small. With MAIA 6.1, we have now integrated a full-screen zoom function in addition to the previous mouse-over zoom function. By clicking on a product image, the image is presented to the customer in full size. If several images are available, the customer can conveniently view all images in full screen.

Of course, the full-screen view automatically adapts to the available screen size. On mobile devices, the user can easily navigate between the images with their finger.

New content management macro: image gallery

Use the newly available "Image gallery" macro in your blog, in all content management pages, in category descriptions and in article descriptions. The macro helps you to create a responsive image gallery. It ensures that all images used are in the correct format and offers you a responsive full-screen zoom function. The image gallery accesses the integrated media library for this purpose. If you move, rename or edit the content of individual images, the gallery is automatically updated.

You can find more details about the image gallery in our documentation.

New content management macro: product stream

Landing pages separated by customer groups, a blog article or a general information page fulfil a specific purpose: to increase sales. With the newly introduced product streams, you can achieve this purpose even better. Use our intelligent search and recommendation system ShopOnTarget.

Define any search and filter query for your product inventory and display the products found directly on your site. Whether it's a classic content management page, a blog article, a category or an item detail view: product streams provide you with completely new presentation options. The products are determined in real time and no manual maintenance is required.

• Realise info pages about your manufacturers and directly display the most relevant products of the manufacturer
• Show different landing pages separated by customer groups and display the most relevant products for the customer group - e.g. by dress size, colour, taste in music, building project, etc.
• Optimise your content strategy and show the products mentioned directly in your blog article - sorted according to automatically determined relevance. This avoids having two completely separate page areas, but instead presents your page as a single unit.

You can find more details on product streams in our documentation.

In addition to these new functions, there are also some detailed improvements and bug fixes.
