NHN Commerce announced on the 20th that it will automatically convert its old version free plan, GodoMall Standard, of its shopping mall creation solution GodoMall to the latest free plan, GodoMall Basic. With this measure, existing users can utilize the latest environment and features without a separate application.
GodoMall Standard was a free plan offered in the past by GodoMall version 5. After the pricing structure of GodoMall was restructured in 2022, new applications had been halted, but existing users continued to use the plan.
Through a major update last year, NHN Commerce transitioned from the existing on-premise method to an externally cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) environment, improving overall services in terms of security, performance, and expense. Based on this, in December of the same year, they introduced the latest SaaS-based free plan, GodoMall Basic.
This automatic conversion targets customers using the existing GodoMall Standard plan and will proceed without any separate expense. Additionally, the basic information and settings of the existing shopping mall will be maintained, allowing for continued operations in a stable environment.
Through the transition to GodoMall Basic, the storage (disk) capacity will be drastically expanded from 1GB in the existing GodoMall Standard to 4GB, enabling faster and more stable shopping mall operations based on enhanced infrastructure, including support for the latest PHP 8 version and a basic traffic limit of 100GB (currently temporarily unlimited).
In particular, the batch registration limit for invoices, which was up to 1,000 at a time, has been expanded to 5,000, significantly improving the efficiency of processing large orders. Along with this, various marketing integration features such as ▲My App (shopping mall app creation) ▲Kakao Friends Talk ▲Kakao Sync are provided as standard, and recently the integration feature with the customer consultation platform "Channel Talk" has been added, providing practical operational efficiency for individual entrepreneurs and small shopping mall operators.
After the transition, enhanced shopping mall scalability and operational efficiency can be expected. According to the business growth, such as expanding the size of the shopping mall, it is easy to upgrade to higher pricing plans like GodoMall Pro, allowing for flexible responses in line with the business growth stage.
