Magento founder Roy Rubin is forging ahead and has announced a Magento solution for shopping clubs due for the middle of April (via Kassenzone, German blog):
“Magento, our enterprise open source eCommerce platform, will natively support private sales in the enterprise edition (availability announced mid-April).
This will bring private sales via our multi-store-retailing functionality to online merchants at a very low, competative price point.
I expect proliferation of private sale sites as a result”
Portero, an online marketplace for luxury goods (see Techcrunch), is planning its up-and-coming shopping club on the Magento solution.
This announcement makes Magento the first shopping system which is, in our opinion, delivering future-proof shopping solutions and also supports innovative new business models.
