[XenForo] DragonByte Shop v4.0.0 Beta 1 Released!

[Fillip H.]

Hey all,

DragonByte Technologies is proud to present our second modern xenForo modification; DragonByte Shop v4.0.0! This is a re-write of our existing vBShop product, focusing on feature parity with our existing vB3/vB4 version.

You can find the product information here: DragonByte Shop!


DragonByte Shop is the most advanced shop mod to date. Giving you unprecedented control over what items you can sell, DragonByte Shop is the perfect mod to go along with virtually any points modification.
With features like overriding any usergroup permission, including those of custom modifications, DragonByte Shop raises the bar for what you will come to expect from a shop mod.

Major Features
Multi-Purchases: Purchasing multiple items at once cuts down on number of pages and clicks users need to perform to grab all the items they want.

Multiple Shops: As an administrator you can create multiple shops that sells different (or the same) items, to further separate items beyond their normal category configurations.

Inventory System: Users can configure their purchased items or even deactivate them via the Inventory system.
