At the core of AbleCommerce is the CommerceBuilder engine, a set of compiled .

NET
assemblies that provide an object framework for ecommerce transactions. The objects
provide a friendly interface to link web scripts to the database. This framework is extremely
flexible and well documented to make it simple for merchant developers to create a truly
custom shopping experience.

CommerceBuilder is written completely in C#, one of the most widely used .NET languages.
AbleCommerce is designed specifically for use with the .NET framework. It is also written to
work properly within ASP.NET Medium trust, which is necessary for many common shared
hosting environments.

On the scripting side, we have employed a new web design framework built on extensions of
ASP.NET Themes and Personalization features. Using this framework, merchants can make
many modifications to the store without sacrificing the ability to upgrade to new versions of
AbleCommerce. It also makes it easy to create, share, and install new themes that can
completely change the look, feel, and behavior of a store.

the projects for our integrated payment and shipping provider projects.
