Just released: Facebook Connect Option

Facebook Connect delivers a number of benefits, including increased traffic and engagement: Enable over 250M Facebook users to share your content with their friends on Facebook. Let users publish a product purchase or addition to their registry (if enabled on your store).

Storeowner, that ultimately leads to more conversions.

Because apps tend to move and store large amounts of data that can affect load times and store stability, they are hosted software applications that incur an install fee and recurring monthly maintenance/hosting fees. Updates and enhancements are part of the month-to-month contract. These applications are housed off the store's server. All applications require 30 days notice to cancel without penalty. Features are programmed into your store to add tools and user enhancement. Generally, they consist of javascript, php or other types of code that allow the store to perform in a variety of ways not found as part of the typical offerings of store platform templates.

We cannot move our code to your servers as the code is proprietary and the code takes considerable technical skill to manage. Much like Salesforce.com, or Yahoo! Store, FastPivotSoftware.com is a software as service model.

Hosting it on our cloud of servers gives us the ability to scale and roll out features to all our users much more quickly than with individual installations. For instance, we are in beta with a social shopping feature set that includes FaceBook Connect functionality.
