3D Art Store Software XCart 5 MV
Hello Friends of the Daz3D Genesis Male Figures and Generation 4 Figures and 3D Art!
Since 1999 I had been running two content stores for both Poser and Daz Studio. PoserAddicts and Maleposerotica.
In 2016 my beloved MPE II (Maleposerotica) male themed online store was hacked and the data and store modifications were damaged beyond repair. I was unable to bring the store back online and tried in vain to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. And failed.
The only thing left to do was to change the software to something that was not Open Source, and where hackers cannot touch the code to destroy the store again. The only way to do this was to purchase software that is constantly updated and protected from hackers.
I have found just the right software, and I personally invested in the base software pack costing $3000.00, however, I need to purchase add-ons and a template for making the right atmosphere and look for the products and presentation.
I have selected X-Cart 5 Multivendor to do this, but it is not cheap. The software was once the base of RuntimeDNA (RDNA) and was very good to work with. I needed software that would allow the store to have individual stores and shops and categories where products could be grouped by operating system software like Daz Studio and Poser. The ability to have sales and have "2 for 1" or "Buy One Get One Free" deals would be great to keep people coming back to the store.
Some standard things every store needs is security, to protect the customers, vendors and the store. Comodo SSL Certificates indicate the store transactions are safe and bank information cannot be stolen. I also wish to allow Europeans who shop to be able to do bank transfers directly with GiroPay. The things I need to do to get everything together are listed below.
I have already purchased the software at $3000.00 but still need to purchase the add-ons and cannot afford to do this on my own.
Therefore I am asking the community for assistance.

Donations from previous GoFundMe and my own personal funding covered:
X-Cart 5 Multivendor Base Software ($3000)
X-Cart 5 Multivendor Upgrade from V4 to V5 ($650)
Banner System Module ($65)
This is what is still needed to make the store run as customers will expect:
My WishList Module ($130)
Buy X Get Y Module ($130)
Spend X Get Y Module ($130)
GiroPay Module ($60)
Custom Fashion Template ($200)
Comodo SSL Certificate ($300)
Loyalty Program Module ($130)
Customers Who Purchased Module ($65)
Paid Memberships (Titanium Club) ($90)
Products Carousel ($60)
Google reCAPTCHA ($130)
X-Cart Product Video ($7)
This leaves a grand total of $1,432.00 to go.
Thanks to everyone for looking and thanks to all of you willing to donate something to help me rebuilt the store that was so badly destroyed by malicious hackers.
I sincerely hope we can create some great artwork together in the future! Thanks a million.
