The Contus Daily Deals Software is the first and best group buying software which comes as an extension for the #1 Ecommerce platform "Magento". This top quality Group deals script lets you to utilize all features of Magento and allows you to use hundreds of extensions from Magento Connect. There is no restriction for enhancements or development as you will have all the necessary files to do customization as per your wish.

There is literally no other Group deals software or site that offers the list of features that we offer. The installation is super easy and it can be done even by non-technical people by following the manual that we provide.

Step 1: Buy any one of “ Contus GroupClone ” packages listed on http://grouponclone.contus.com/groupon-clone-packages.php

Step 2: Register a domain name for your deal website. You can register a domain name at godaddy.com, networksolutions.com, enom.com or any certified registrar of domain names. We mentioned these three because they are reputable and highly reliable. Your best bet and most economical are godaddy.com and enom.com because they are relatively inexpensive (but it's upto your choice). Just be sure that the one you select is a well known service and is reputable. There are too many stories about people losing a domain name because of some ridiculous glitches. Note: Don’t be discouraged if your domain name is already taken. Just keep on trying different variations for a .com extension if you can get it. Try not to settle on .net, .org, .info, or any other extensions. Try to get a .com.

Step 3: Find a good web host. Once you register your domain name, you need to find what is called a web host. This is the place where your physical deal website files are located on the Internet. You have to make sure that the web host server meets Magento requirements and is Ioncube installed. You can contact us directly and we will assist you. Send us an email to bdm@contus.in for any assistance.

No. The basic knowledge about Computer, Internet and Websites are far enough. Our daily deal software material, FAQ, and support forums can help you to understand and work with the back end system. Also, we will provide you with a clear groupon clone demo about adding deals, cities and managing the back end system. If you have programming knowledge, it's an added advantage for you.

Magento is a fantastic system with a huge range of features. However with that comes a "slight" performance issue, whereas using VPS or dedicated servers help us to have a better performance. Apart from selecting these servers, we can consider few optimization points even for a shared hosting.

* Install a PHP opcode cache such as ionCube.

* Set memory limit to 64M in PHP Configuration.

* Increase the value for “ realpath_cache_ttl ” to 3600 to 7200 in PHP Configuraion to increase the time of cache

* Make sure your Apache configuration has KeepAlives enabled. Turn Off Keep-Alive if you have to use mod_php

* Modify the configuration for your MySQL server to take better advantage of your server's RAM. 

* Be sure the Magento caches are enabled.

* Enable Expires Headers.

* Enable MySQL query caching

* Enable Block Caching where it makes sense.

* Make fewer HTTP Requests in your Theme

* Use FastCGI to run PHP.

* Use a Content Delivery Network

* Remove unused extensions.

* Enable Gzip Compression.

* Reduce DNS lookups

* Avoid redirects.

* Make Ajax Cacheable.

* And so forth.

Yes, the Contus Groupon software can work on Amazon EC2. We have developers who are experienced in Amazon EC2 server. However, the installation process may take some time depending upon the difficulties we face in Amazon server and Amazon server experienced developers' availability. We expect the customer's co-operation under such cases.

The Contus Groupon template supports all Magento supported payment gateways. If any payment gateway is not supported, then be sure that the Magento version you use supports the particular payment gateway. Before selecting the payment gateway, be aware of the gateway commission fee, supported countries, supported currencies, Pay later feature, Magento payment gateway stability, etc.

Yes. If HTTPS is used to work in the admin, SSL certificate should be valid. Self-signed SSL certificates are not supported. We recommend SSL because with booming Internet trends and fraud, most will not submit their private details on the web unless they know that the information they provide is securely transmitted and is not accessible for anyone to view.

The credit card details are not saved in the admin panel or in database when you process with any secure payment gateways. But, we want to make sure and be aware of the payment module we use and the payment module creator. There is a default payment option called " Saved CC " in Magento. Unlike other groupon clone templates, we never recommend this method unless you don't like to process payments in offline. Orders placed using this method will appear in the admin with the card number, name on card and expiration date displayed to the store owner. You can then take this information and use it to charge your customers using your preferred method.

The licensing works based on domain name. You can move the files to any hosting server, but you need to maintain the same domain name. For a licensing purpose, we have included only one file which is encrypted. Apart from this single file, you will be able to edit the entire Groupclone or Magento groupon files to customize as per your needs.

Yes. Contus Group Clone supports multi-city deals. When you need to run the same deal on various cities, you need not add the same deal for each city. Just enter a single deal and select cites in multi select box.

Yes. Our open source groupon clone template supports most of the Magento extensions. If any Magento version do not work, then there are various factors to analyze such as, Extensions capability for your Magento version (Compatibility), Extension bugs, Installation errors, Folder permissions, Server issues and so on. When an extension conflicts with deal concept, then changes or customizations within the extension may be required and this is not a part of our support.

Default Subscription Feature: Contus Groupon script contains newsletter subscription feature by default. It works based on the cron job function. Your site visitors can subscribe for the city they wish. When the cron job function runs and checks for any new deals. If any new deal is added by site admin or merchant, an automatic email will be sent to the subscribers of the particular city.

Third party integrations: The third party email marketing system such as " Mailchimp " can be integrated with this deals script. For Mailchimp, we just need to provide Mailchimp API credentials. If you have integrated Mailchimp with your deal website, the subscribed emails will be synchronized to the corresponding Mailchimp account and you will be able to send manual emails to the subscribers from Mailchimp account. It helps you to take advantage of the Mailchimp features.

We recommend you to choose “ Custom GPC ” package if you would like to have your deal website with an unique home page design to attract visitors and to be different from your competitors.
