This looks like it would run in a lamp app right?
SeoToaster Web Server Requirements Web server: Apache 2, Nginx. Any web server that can do re-writes and support PHP should work too (not tested). mod_rewrite module: For Apache 2 only.

Whats funny is they built it to remove plugins, but they have their own plugin ecosystem, lol.

@robi Thanks for sharing
@humptydumpty you're correct.
@privsec - well, we removed about 40 shortcomings of WP that usually requires plug-ins to patch. That was basically the original idea, but yes other needs had to be addressed. But out of the default install you have a solid CMS, a very capable Shopping cart in there with digital signature support, recurring payments, deposit payments, ability to sell digital docs, you also have a free 250 contacts CRM bolted on with sales automation, pipeline management - You can grant access to the Social and CRM mobile apps in 1 click https://help.seosamba.com/crm-mobile-application.html and then download the apps from that screen - It's pretty good value for any business needing to get digital. Most people don't ever come to realize everything that is contained within that package...Happy to answer any questions. -
I'm a tad confused.
Although the website says "all in one", I also infer there are 2 products : SeoToaster Ecommerce and SeoToaster CMS. Do they need to be installed separately, or they are bundled in one install ? -
@Elephant What's the deal with product variations for physical goods? Built-in or through a plugin?
-
@timconsidine Thanks for your question. There's one package called SeoToaster Ultimate that installs CMS/CART/CRM in one shot - you can then decide what component to use or not to use as your needs evolve.
I know it can be a bit confusing. In addition to the web presence/sales automation front-end SeoToaster Ultimate, there's a cloud marketing hub component that we call the SeoSamba Marketing Operating System - MOS.
MOS combines analytics, social marketing , review, citation management, call tracking, SEO reporting, and more to any digital asset type, it can only execute on-site SEO tasks (Meta alignment, content writing, URL optimization with automated 301, deep-linking, interaction with Google console...) from a central location, as well AI-driven blogging to SeoToaster Ultimate and WordPress sites.
You can find out more about it here; https://www.seosamba.com/white-label-marketing-automation-software.html - our entire stack can be white-labeled by solution providerrs. We have a few baked-in business models too for fellow professionals like subscription, pay-per-lead, pay-per-SEO, affiliate program...Now, back to the front-end host, you can decide to build your entire front-end stack or just decide to use SeoToaster Ultimate as a... CRM and link it up to the rest of your stack.
In that case, you would probably use the web forms builder to get leads from other sites https://help.seosamba.com/form-builder.html - but you could for instance rely on SeoSamba's telephony services to provision a phone number anywhere in the world for $5 and then get see inbound calls placed through that line create leads automatically in 1 click in your CRM - https://help.seosamba.com/cloud-tracking-services-in-crm.html - you can also download our soft console to place calls.- we also have a very neat built-in parser for inbound email to lead creation, zapier connector, rest API, and of course we support IMAP to keep inbound email in sync - more info about the CRM here: https://www.seotoaster.com/crm/
@humptydumpty product variations are built-in - no plug-in needed either. https://help.seosamba.com/managing-product-options-with-website-builder-ecommerce.html - You can store them in a library and apply them across products, you can also edit them using a csv import. You can mass edit products from the CRM area under mass product tool - https://help.seosamba.com/product-mass-action-in-crm.html
We have a few specialized editions too, one has to do with real estate with IDX integrated. Another is in the memorial business ERP, another one is for restaurants with a kitchen orders intake/delivery, one is for franchise businesses and we have more coming..Besides the mature and very capable mobile CRM and Social native Apps, we have already an alpha version of our upcoming IOS/Android POS app, linking SeoToaster Ultimate web stores including catalogue/transactions/customers and options to a retail environment. The POS app features built-in barcode reader, it support contactless payments, cash, cc scanner, and attached card readers/receipt printer - ship to customer, or pick up from multiple store.
Sorry I feel like I'm monologuing again.. we're quite enthusiastic developers...and I love what the team built
Always happy to provide answers, including terse ones, no seriously try me...I'm sure I can do it.. -

Always happy to provide answers, including terse ones, no seriously try me...I'm sure I can do it..@Elephant it’s great that product options are built in, but can you upload a different image for each variation so that when a variation (say a red shirt) is selected then a red shirt image is displayed and not the default white shirt?
As the developer, have you looked into packaging seo toaster as a Cloudron app? Any technical difficulties or limitations that might prevent the app from being packaged?

@humptydumpty - Well in fact, when you want to show variation, you would do this using CSS with a graphic file that has a stripe of the product variations, and position the focus based on the chosen option to show the correct product color for instance. BTW, we also open sourced the rapid development CSS framework our team standardize on so that if anyone in the trade wants to join in, we can have as much interoperability as possible on finished websites/projects: https://flexkit.seotoaster.com/ - The affiliation program allows anyone to profit from any of the premium services (call tracking/SMS/email/review/citation/SEO execution/centralized blogging) offered via our cloud MOS https://affiliate-marketplace.seosamba.com/affiliates/signup.php#SignupForm
We have not looked at the packaging as a Cloudron app. The app is available on other auto-installers, so I don't see why it would not be packageable as a Cloudron app. I'm happy to look into it, where should I start?
@timconsidine Thanks for the opportunity Tim. -
