The Branning Group has just released a module that will really help store owners, and something that has been notably lacking from previous Zen Cart installations: saving the credit card information of your customers.

This new module “records all credit card information passed through the Authorize.NET payment modules” and includes an administrative section that allows the store owner to “search for credit card information by credit card number, name on card, security code and Zen Cart customer ID.”

This screenshot was included in the promotion material the Branning Group sent us:

UPDATE FROM THE ZEN CART TEAM:

Dear Zen Cart Users and Supporters

We would like to apologize for the lack of updates regarding the progress of V2.0 and of course the delay in releasing the Beta.

While refactoring and testing the changes to core code we decided that there were some fundamental flaws in the legacy code, especially related to how tax calculations were carried out in various places but especially in the Shopping Cart class.

The shopping cart class was scheduled for a rewrite in a future release (Checkout rewrite) however it was felt that these flaws in the legacy code really needed to be addressed before the beta release.

This has obviously meant a delay in the release, but we hope you will find the improvements worthwhile, especially those people struggling with niggling rounding problems, tax calculation discrepancies etc.

We don’t have a revised release date yet.

I’m hearing rumors some members of the Zen Cart team are already discussing the next version of ZC - even though Zen Cart 2.0.0 hasn’t been released yet. I’m trying to find out more details, the only thing I’m hearing is that it’s Ajax-intensive. I’ll keep you posted
