Editor's Note
  • This extension requires registration to download.
When everyone thought it couldn't be done, jVitals does the next to impossible. The first Joomla Zen Cart bridge is now available. Now you have the ability to run one of the most popular Open Source shopping carts available. With the wonder of Joomla and the power of ZenCart, nothing is impossible. This bridge will allow users to register and login to Joomla and automatically be added to your Zencart user base or register in Zen Cart and be added to Joomla user base. Out system does not eliminate any user tables or any of the securities implemented by either system. If at any given time you decide not to run one system or the other, uninstall the bridge and move each system to it's own domain. Everything remains intact.

Great Product
Great Support
Great Value
It does exactly what it says it should do. Simply.
Initially I had problems due to a corruption in downloading the files however support was fast, courteous and eff3ective.
In my case using Zen as single login, apart from the shop customers have access to restricted forums, galleries and downloads, all controlled via Joomla. Disable Joomla login; make the appearance of both Zen and Joomla similar if desired. I used and adapted the mod 'current user' on Joomla front end to polish it off.
Worked for me, but understand how it works and ensure you can adapt to your needs.

I've looked all over for ANYTHING that could hook up ZenCart to something else (anything else!) and I wasn't having much success. None of the freebies that I tried were functional. And it seems that some of these bridges are abandoned.

JZen is the only option I could find where the developers are maintaining their product.

I had problems with JZen at first too, but the guys got to work on it immediately and fixed it. So THIS Bridge works! It's updated to the current versions of ZenCart and Joomla, and it works very well. It's easy to install.

And it's soooo nice to have the world of Joomla available for my ZenCart store.

Many thanks to the JZen team!

After downloading it took less than 5 minutes to have operational. I was expecting pages of highly technical/confusing instructions, not so, all I had to do is tell it the path to Zen Cart.

Tech Support excellent! Great response times.

Outstanding Customer Service!

The only problem I had was navigating the web site. I could not find a direct link to the product and support pages. Probably was more me than the site layout :)

The cost of the subscription is very modest for what is offered. No complaints, just be prepared to pay for the subscription before downloading the product.

Bottom line, good product, and good support, well worth it.

Not much to say here, which is good. Within minutes, using JZen Complete, I was able to install and link to our Zen Cart, displaying Best Sellers, Product of the Month, etc., anywhere I wanted on my Joomla site.

Finally a bridge between Joomla and Zen Cart. I had a little difficulty installing, but it was user error. Just install the plugin, set the path to your zen-cart and it is set. You must have the correct zen-cart path otherwise you'll see errors. Support got back to me right away when I had questions and error.
