EZ ecommerce / shopping cart?

Tuesday 03 July 2007 4:55:49 am

Hi guys.

I am interested in a CMS / ecommerce solution and have been told that EZpublish might well be suitable. However, any information about whether EZpublish does or does not have an ecommerce facility is extremely well hidden on the website.

Can anyone point me toward any information links, and some online stores using EZpublish if this is in fact an option, please?

Hi Roly,

I believe eZ publish is a viable solution for complex e-commerce sites. One of the advantages is precisely the major drawback for some people: You can build anything suited to how your business works, but at the same time you miss not having it directly available out of the box.

Here are some considerations to have:

- Stock quantity validation is not built in, but available through some extensions and a bit of coding. Take a look at some of the workflow extensions that handle several e-commerce tasks: http://ez.no/community/contribs/workflow

- Pricing and Stock integration with other systems, eg. POS or ERP systems can be custom coded.

- There are several payment gateways already integrated and available as extensions (eg. Paypal, Authorize, Protx, WorldPay, etc).

- Product variations are done using a datatype, but it is a bit limited in that it does not handle much detail. This can be bypassed using child products instead.

Let us know what are your specific requirements, and we'd be happy to advise you.

Regards,

Felipe

You can try Paypal Shopping Cart that is very eay to implement. It isn't as streamlined as other ecommerce solutions, but it has a low fee. Plus, PayPal is a name that customer trust so you may attract more people if they know that their details are secure.
