New: We check your domains expire date
Some weeks ago a merchant lost control of his shop because he forgot to extend his domain. So we build a new early warning system to alert you in case your domain expires. We will send you an email! You can also check your domains expiration date in the shop preferences:
The expiration date
Please check, if your email address is working
In the light of current developments: Please check, if your email address is working! Go to your “contact us” page and verify the email address:

New meta information added to the shops
We just added some more meta information to the shops. To point out our credibility we added icons of accepted payment methods like VISA, Mastercard, paysafecard or Sofortueberweisung.de. To protect children we added links to different children protection systems Cyber Patrol, Safesurf, NetNanny and CyberSitter:
Meta information in the footer of a shop
We also added some more information about paysafecard (“What is a paysafecard?, “Where to buy a paysafecard?”, “How to use a paysafecard?”) when joining:

Meaningful URLs
We always try to improve the search engine ratings of our shops. A big step in the right direction is the feature friendly_id, which has been released today:
Before:
www.shopname.com/collections/1234567890
www.shopname.com/models/1234567890
After:
www.shopname.com/collections/collection-name
www.shopname.com/models/model-name
This is of course a very simple and effective way to improve your position at Google et al.!
Simple link exchange
As already announced to all merchants via email, we now offer a simple banner exchange between those shopmaker merchants willing to participate.
This is how it looks:

One shop – several domains
At request of circle-of-sadism.com we implemented a feature which allows linking to a shop with miscellaneous domains. Besides that you can send a language flag. That means for example that sadistenzirkel.com is redirecting to the German site.
