With Version 5.0, online customers can receive an email confirming receipt of their order, including a tracking number so that the status of their purchases can be checked. In doing so, UPS helps to ensure timely and accurate delivery for both the customer and the merchant. This new functionality also allows the merchants to easily calculate shipping charges and record tracking numbers online, replacing manual processes that would take countless hours of time.

Another major focus of Actinic Business 5.0 is its content management tools. These tools allow SMBs to easily construct more creative and sophisticated e-commerce sites and enable merchants to produce Web informational pages that smoothly integrate with other pages on their e-commerce site. These content management tools also provide merchants with the ability to more easily promote special offers and customize individual sections of their e-business. In addition, users can further enhance their e-business by importing designs from Macromedia's Dream Weaver
