Magento 1.6.0.0-beta1 was released today, and has some pretty nifty features. One of those is an implementation of “Minimum Advertised Price”, or MAP. Many vendors enforce restrictions on how low of a price you can show on your site, until either adding it to your cart or performing come action. Here’s how to take advantage of this feature:

A short week here at SUMO HQ. Seems like everyone else is a half-step behind due to the 3-day weekend. It’s hard to believe it’s the beginning of June (although the weather in Philly leads you to believe it’s August). The first half of the year is over, and Summer just flies by, so I fully expect to see the Halloween merchandise out at Target next week…

The Friday Five for May 13, 2011: The First Birthday Edition
On this very special edition of the Friday Five, we’re celebrating our first year in business as SUMO Heavy Industries. Just think, only a year ago we were working out of the back of a coffee shop and now today we’re an international conglomerate with 26 worldwide offices and a staff of over 1,500. (Ok, I made that last part up, but it’s been quite a ride this last year.) We’ve had some ups and downs, we’ve learned a whole lot along the way and we’re excited about the future of our business and our industry.
