My first webinar with you was excellent. I really appreciate you bringing in the creators of BrilliantRetail, as well as addressing the setup of an e-commerce store from a legacy system. And, yes, I was the lucky winner of the BrilliantRetail commercial license. I’ll put it to good use, of course. Thank you again!
- Andy

Thank you! I really enjoyed the webinar! Very informative! It help clear up several things I was dealing with on a site I’m working on. I appreciate you taking the extra time to answer all my questions and go over the allotted time to finish with everything. It was really great having David there to fill us in with his updates on BR and answer questions. I feel I have a much better understanding of BrilliantRetail and Iook forward to implementing what I learned.
- Kelly

Will the import also work on products? I got a little excited when I saw BR and DataGrab together. So I am hoping this will allow for product import.

Will this course address how to get clients set up for ecommerce, i.e. merchant accounts, payment gateways, etc.?

Thanks for your question. We’ve jam-packed the 2 hours specifically working with ExpressionEngine, BrilliantRetail, and DataGrab, but will cover how to setup merchant accounts and gateways specifically regarding to BrilliantRetail.

The developers will also be joining us for a special Q&A session, so you’ll have an opportunity to ask questions directly as well.

Let me know if I can answer anything else for you!

@Danielle

Currently importing products in BrilliantRetail is still being worked on.

We’ll be using DataGrab to import customer data/member info.

As I mentioned above, the developers will be on hand to take direct questions on some of the features being planned for BR.

Thanks!

About the Class

New: Register now to receive this special offer!

Jae's class is about sharing real-world ExpressionEngine experiences. I would recommend it to anyone looking to learn the ins and outs of ExpressionEngine!

I really enjoyed the webinar! Very informative! I feel I have a much better understanding of BrilliantRetail.

Jae is extremely knowledgeable and very generous with sharing real-life industry tips and his best of practice techniques.

The depth of knowledge and the complete transparency of sharing of real world projects is well worth the time and cost.

My first webinar with you was excellent. I really appreciate you addressing the setup of an e-commerce store from a legacy system.

Great job on the class tonight. I almost feel like I got my money's worth from this session alone with the knowledge I will take into future projects!

I could never have imagined how informative and useful this webinar class was going to be! I would definitely recommend this class to anyone interested in EE.

Great class, once again. I really enjoyed & learned a great deal that I will be putting to the test. It was extremely informative and thanks for the videos, I constantly refer back to them for support.

This is clearly the best training investment I have ever made! Jae incorporates techniques that would take months/years to uncover on your own.

You couldn’t ask for more as a turbo-driven boost to reaching a professional level in Expression Engine. The best value course I’ve ever taken.

Jae did an excellent job with the lesson plans, starting from the foundation and worked his way up to a live webpage.

Thanks to your basic HTML/CSS class I was able to make it work much more easily than I would have otherwise. The difference from where I was before the class is night and day.
