PrestaShop announces the forthcoming launch of its Forge!

Developers, our team has the pleasure of announcing the forthcoming launch of a new collaborative: the Forge, based on the following Atlassian tools:

   -    Jira : issue tracker; requests management (bugs, feature requests, improvements)
   -    GreenHopper : Agile planning; simplifies exchanges with more reactivity.
   -    Bamboo : continuous integration (hudson);
   -    FishEye : SVN manager;
   -    Crucidle : tool that enables you to manage easily the code review.

This forge enables us, among other things, to exchange more easily with our community, and have a better follow-up of the PrestaShop users’requests.

It will be installed in the place of our current Bug Tracker. You will be able discover this tool very soon!

Discover the PrestaShop Security module!

Today, the PrestaShop team wants to focus on the new “PrestaShop Security”, module, included as standard with the 1.4 version of PrestaShop.

This module, installed in just a few clicks, allows you to protect your online store from fraud, free of charge.

This practical module carries out the following tasks for you:

   -    Analyses customer information (name, email address, telephone...).
   -    Checks IP addresses (position determination technology and proxy server detection).
   -    Checks user behaviour frequently associated with fraud.
   -    Checks the reliability of delivery addresses and modes of transport.
   -    Cross-checks data for all stores. In this way, a fraudster identified in one store will be
         known by all stores using PrestaShop version 1.4.

You will benefit from easy and fast reporting (with risk rating) allowing you to quickly assess an order. Read this analysis in a flash in your back office: a green, orange or red flag will appear opposite each order.

An essential feature for managing your online store with confidence!
