Roadmap

The Merlin Panel is 36.47% complete with a total of 62 out of 170 features released. This page outlines all planned and present features.

We are working hard to build-out our complex system architecture and to make it as user-friendly and as hassle-free as possible. Because we get a lot of feature of requestion, we have created this page for people to track our progress.

Upcoming goals

Our next scope of work for July/August 2020 is:

• User systems: for clients to manage their users

• Users: (on a client's site) to manage their account

• Products: categories and custom fields

• Checkouts: Adding logged in users support

• Orders: View and track all orders of an account

• Custom Forms: Create dynamic forms

• Deploys: Improve the deploy system

• Checkout: Support Authorize.net alongside
