Today’s customers expect an online shop that looks great and works flawlessly on any device. With ePages Now, your shop is fully responsive and automatically adapts to smartphones and tablets. You can choose from a variety of modern design themes that follow current standards and usability best practices.
ePages Now comes with a range of smart features that are not available in Base and Base+. These include one-click AI translations of the complete shop with DeepL, AI-generated product descriptions, automated notifications for abandoned baskets and much more.
Managing your shop has never been easier. The administration area of ePages Now is clearer, more intuitive and faster to use – making your day-to-day tasks noticeably more efficient.
ePages Now connects you with a strong network of technology partners. Apps that are not available in Base and Base+ include Lexware, Smartsupp, Maileon, Trackboxx as well as a mobile app that lets you manage your shop on the go.
With the intuitive drag-and-drop editor, you can design and edit your shop pages quickly and effortlessly. Thanks to the WYSIWYG principle (What You See Is What You Get), you will see changes instantly the same way as they will appear in your live shop.
Because ePages Now is fully responsive, it works seamlessly with Google’s mobile-first indexing. You will also benefit from SEO-friendly features such as clean URLs and easy editing of page titles and meta descriptions.
Just like Base, Now helps you run your shop in a legally compliant way. Built-in legal pages and a new ready-to-use cookie banner ensure that essential legal information is correctly presented.

The update runs semi-automatically. Much of the work is done by us and most of your data is transferred to the Now shop. We provide guidance in all steps that are carried out by you – for example, selecting a new theme or inserting content. During the update, you will see a checklist of all important steps and can pause or end the update at different stages. Your shop will not have to go offline for a long period of time.
We are offering merchants a free update from the shop version Base to the successor version Now. The availability of the update depends on the provider and the range of features used. An update can take place as soon as the features used in Base largely correspond to the available features in Now. Merchants will then be notified in the administration area and can start an update if they wish.
Your products and categories will be automatically transferred to your Now shop. In cases with large volumes of legacy data, this may take a few hours.
You try out the Now shop and set it up, for example by adjusting design settings. You can take as much time as you like for this. Do not edit any products or add new products in this step. Your Base shop will continue to exist during this time and your customers can visit and buy products as usual.
After you have set up your Now shop and worked through the checklist steps, start the shop transfer. To do this, in the administration area of your Now shop select the View next steps button in the checklist under the item Import your shop data and shut down your old shop. The Shop update page appears and you can confirm the transfer. Your Base shop will be closed in this step. Orders, customer data, the stock of your products and other data will then be transferred from your Base shop. After the transfer, you will be able to continue working with your existing order and customer data as well as stock levels. Transfer duration ranges from minutes to hours, depending upon legacy data volume. At maximum, it will be completed within a day. All data will then be available in the Now shop. You will be notified by email when the transfer is complete.
You can check everything, make adjustments to your Now shop and then open it.
