Built-In Features of NCR Retail Online (NRO)

NCR Retail Online (NRO) is the latest ecommerce offering from NCR and is designed exclusively for NCR Counterpoint merchants. This demo store was created to show off the built-in features of NCR Retail Online. Because it's fully integrated with Counterpoint, you can run your online business with a minimum of effort and expense.

For a general list of features, refer to the Magento General Feature List . Because of the interface with Counterpoint, some features listed here may not be available in the NCR Retail Online product. Similarly, NCR Retail Online will include additional features not included in the general Magento feature list.

NCR Retail Online is based on Magento Community Edition, Version 1.7.0.1.

To all of you, from all of us at NCR Retail Online — Thank you and Happy eCommerce!

Category Pages

On each category page, you can choose to display all products (including those in the next level sub-categories), or display unique landing page content to highlight your best products—or anything you want.

The built-in layered navigation displayed on the left of either page style helps shoppers quickly find just the right product to suite their needs.

Counterpoint Integration

With the new Integration Agent, you can easily transfer your items, prices, categories, customers, orders, and more between your NCR Counterpoint system and your NRO online store.

Dropdown Navigation

The horizontal dropdown navigation dynamically displays your categories and sub-categories (up to 4 levels deep) as defined in Counterpoint. And with our built-in theme, you can optionally display your category descriptions in the dropdown as well.

Free Shipping

Offer free shipping without a coupon code. Optionally require a minimum order amount and/or restrict the offer to specific countries.

Grid & List Views

Shoppers can choose whether to view the products as a grid or as a list.

Image Placeholders for Missing Item Images

Have one or more products that don't have item images? Upload your own placeholder image to use as the default image throughout your site. View Example >

Item Image Zooms & Alternate Views

Give your shoppers more to look at—more details, more colors, and more images. Built-in image zooms let shoppers see the finer details of each product. And show off the front, back, inside, and other views of each product with an unlimited number of alternate images. View Example >

Layered Navigation

Layered navigation helps shoppers find the products that interest them the most.

Include layers on the left-hand side of your product pages for sub-category, price, brand, color, size, or just about any 'attribute' of your choosing.

Product Types

NRO supports the following product types:

Simple (Normal Item): A Simple product is a basic, one-size-fits-all item that has only one possible configuration (one size, one color, etc.). Examples: toys, books, baseball bat, $50 gift card, etc. View Example >

Grouped: A Grouped product is a single item number that you create in NRO in order to group and sell two or more existing products. For example, you could group a necklace, bracelet, and earrings together as a set under one item number. Examples: jewelry sets, furniture sets, bedding ensembles, etc. View Example >

Configurable (Gridded Item): A Configurable product—also known as a gridded item—has choices that the shopper must configure before purchasing. Examples: clothing, shoes, baseball gloves, bed linens, towels, etc. View Example >

Promotions and Coupons

NRO offers a variety of options for promotions:

Catalog Price Rules : Discounts that are applied to the item's price before the item is added to the shopping cart. You can optionally restrict the special price to specific groups of customers. View '20% Off All Jewelry' Example

Shopping Cart Price Rules : Discounts that are applied to the item's price after the item is added to the shopping cart. They can be enabled with or without a coupon code, and you can optionally restrict the special price to specific groups of customers.

Free Shipping : Optionally offer free shipping without specifying a coupon code

Ratings & Reviews

Shoppers can rate your products and write reviews. But before the reviews go live, you have a chance to approve or reject each review. View Example >

Recently Viewed Products

Shoppers can quickly link to the products they've recently viewed while browsing your store (located in the left column of the category pages).

Shop By Price

Shoppers can easily find the right product, at the right price. On the back-end, you can determine your own price breakdowns, or let NRO automatically create the best price levels based on your data.

Related Products

Any items defined as Substitute Items in Counterpoint will be imported and automatically displayed as Related Products on the item detail pages. Plus, you can add additional Related Products through the NRO Admin Panel to display even more. View Example >

.

Show X Products Per Page (and View All)

Shoppers can choose how many products to display at a time. On the back-end, you can configure the dropdown choices, and optionally allow shoppers to view all products within a category.

Site Design (Customizable Built-in Theme)

NRO's built-in theme—as used on this demo site—drives the overall look and feel of your site, and you can customize the theme directly from the NRO Admin Panel (no programming skills needed!). Change the fonts and colors, display your own slideshow on the home page, customize the header and footer areas, include the category description in the dropdown navigation, and much more.

Want to fine tune the design? You can customize the CSS file or completely change the built-in elements using XML. We also offer professional services to help you with simple design changes, new custom themes, and advanced customizations and extension implementation.

Size Charts

Include product-specific size charts when needed.

A size chart could be created as a simple image that you include as an alternate view of the product: View Image Example >

Or, you could insert HTML to add a size chart as an attribute that's displayed on the Additional Info tab: View 'Additional Info' Tab Example > .

Sort By

Sorting features are built-into the category pages, which means that shoppers can choose in what order they want to view the products. On the back-end, you can specify which attibutes to include in the Sort By dropdown list.

Tabbed Item Details

Display product information on multiple tabs. Include tabs for the item description, additional info based on the item's attributes*, upsells, product reviews, and a custom tab for your unique needs. View Example >

* Optionally display different content for different groups of product using attribute groups. For example, display wine scores for all bottles of wine while displaying size charts and videos for all baseball gloves. Compare the Additional Info tab of the Wine Example to the Baseball Glove Example .
