The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

- Easy to setup: though setting up a store does take time, this system has a logical way to go about it
- Great way to setup attributes for the products and to either add, substract, set a new price or not affect the price at all of a given product.
- Good selection of language files
- The template system looks ok, although the default template does use only tables to set up the structure of the page. Tables are a messy system to set up a page structure but I guess that it is the easiest way to not affect the rest of the CSS of a given site.

The two most difficult aspects of a store are the payment and the shipping process. I'm still testing the level of integration I can manage on this two fronts with this system. I'll report my findings later

Extension functionality compare to Virtualmart is easy and fast.

Thank you for this great component!!!
It has plenty of options (languages, taxes, shipping methods, discounts, whatever you want...) and still very easy to use. I didn't even have to check the documentation.

Works in 1.5. I have yet to get it to work in 1.7.

I installed this component and had it working without problems right away. I have yet to find any bugs or issues with the code. All the small problems mentioned by others are not problems at all but simply people not looking through all the options for this component.

I made USD my currency with no issues whatsoever and i have almost no knowledge of web design or coding. So the people saying they are very experienced and cant figure it out you should be ashamed.

This component is very powerful and very easy to use i really cant say enough. If only more free components could be made this well. If you cant figure out how to set it up then pay the support team to do it they deserve the money for sure.

PLEASE keep up the great work!!

I have tried quite a few eCommerce platforms for Joomla, and so far this is the best of them. It simply feels like a more developed solution than the others which all feel like beta versions in comparison. Excellent work!

I am happy with this product. So happy, that i had translated it to Hungarian! :D
The translation of the "main" product and the login module, can be download on the developer site!
It working perfect on Joomla! 1.6 and 1.7!

Many thanks for this excellent and FREE product!

this shopping cart (plus its functions) should be a Joomla! standard feature for any website that uses e-commerce functions.

it is very simple both in visual display, control, functionality, installation, and use. even for beguines, this extension is unbelievably easy to use and learn.

JoomShopping has every feature you could need and all of witch work without error or complex installation. this has made it very easy for myself to modify and set up within minuets not hours.

i would also recommend this to advanced users as it is time saving, easy to mod, and easy to teach clients how to use.

i have now chosen to use this as my standard shopping cart extension for both Joomla! 1.5 and 1.6

I have pull of some hair all the day with an other component an then try Joomshopping. It is very good and easy to understand for my clients. The only deception I had of your com... is the miss of payment way. I would very apreciate if we could use credit card (visa master card ect...). But you still deserve a five star. Will keep an eye open in the futur to see if you will add some more payment options. Thank you very moch.

I'm in the USA, so at first, this extension was daunting, I gave up on it, and walked away.

But once I returned, I realized all i really had to do was poke around with it, and i've figured it all out, without the need of help from the creators.

This now serves every purpose i've ever asked for and, unlike other shopping cart extensions, this actually works for 1.6.

If you find yourself getting frustrated, just set down and start playing with the options...it becomes painfully easy when you do.

This is recommended component for your eCommerce website. it has smart logics about eCommerce business and powerfully in extending and plugging, playing 3rd extensions.

I installed this on one of my client's sites and it works beautifully. It took a little work to find everything to get it to work the way I wanted, and there are still some configuration and style issues I am trying to sort out, but this was relatively easy to set up.

Unfortunately, I am now trying to load it on one of my newer Joomla 1.7 pages and keep getting a language error that refuses to allow it to load the databases tables on my site. I have looked over the forums extensively for an answer and have yet to find how to patch this problem (the one answer I found was for a backup before upgrade. Since this is a clean install, I am baffled from the problems getting the database tables to load)

Anyway, this is a good and easy to use program. Use it if you do not want to code endlessly and have your shop up fairly quickly.

This is probably one of the best free shopping carts available. Also, by far the most easy to configure when compared to others like virtuemart.

I have a HUGE gripe about the company/developer.

I hate the annoying branding that goes on each cart page. This tag is called in externally, so there is no way to rid yourself of it. AFter digging up a link to the Commercial Version, I was taken no where. I have tried multiple times to contact the developer with no luck at all.

Without being able to purchase a full version to get that annoying link off, this product has bombed.

The "Shop" section of the site seems fair, but has no indication of what you are purchasing. Can I download a commercial version of the product im using? OR do I need to ourchase the components individually?

Once gain great, amazing product. Horrible customer service.

* I know how to use this thing, I dont want technical support I want CUSTOMER support!!!

I was searching for a component that I could use as a catalog. I didn't need a shopping cart, I didn't need features up the wazoo, just something simple that would allow me to post a picture with a short description that would open into a full description. I tried the high rated apps, the majorly downloaded apps, all the apps that say "easy to configure." None of them were.

I was apprehensive about trying out this app because the website did not translate easily into english (from german) and i was afraid i might not be able to understand what i needed to do to get it to what i wanted. I am glad i decided to give it a try anyway.

Within a couple of hours I had completely fallen in love with this app. It has bells and whistles if you want that kind of thing, but it also allows you to turn them off if you don't. I didn't have to create a new manufacturer client for each item that had a different manufacture (helpful when you are a consignment store). I didn't have to add weight or box dimensions since I wasn't shipping out anything. I could actually choose what units of measurements i wanted (called characteristics in the app). I now have the exact catalog i have been wanting for several months.

This app would easily earn that fifth star if you worked with someone to touch up the translations and added an information bubble on more of the items throughout the configurations.

For the new users to this app who don't speak german, under configuration>general, Price(brutto) is gross, and Price(netto) is net. To change the unit of currency, go to Options>currency, and add or change the units there. Code is where you would put a dollar sign. If it doesn't appear to change, all you need to do is close your browser and reopen it to see the changes.

Thank you again. This is truly a brilliant piece of work.

I found this excellent extension and i have one question how can we share individual product section with image and description at facebook?

Many Thanks,
Shahid Mirza

I have some experience with other free shopping cart, but JShopping Cart is so simple. It is true compatible with Joomla!. JShopping Cart is using engines and routines that provided by Joomla! It is also do not need special template. I can use any template that I want. I use JShopping in Joomla! 1.7.0, and work good.

If you want to make simple e-shop, I recommend JShopping.

Suggestion:
Please improve shipping method. Make it more flexible when the cost is based on distance (city) and per weight.

After all, only one word for JShopping Cart: Wow!

Installed fine, even without an english read me or tutorial. Plenty of options for tax, shipment, payment options, categorizing, etc. Pretty perfect. Only feature I wish was added would be some kind of module that would post new products on the front page. Instead, I have to make a new article everytime I add a product, which is fine, just a bit painstaking.

support is lacking a bit, but mainly because a lot of the forum posts are in deutsch, so common english search terms often don't yield the results a person might want.

however, the structure of this component and all of the free modules provided by the publisher is simple enough that anyone willing to take the time can have this thing doing back-flips. i've configured joomshopping on my joomla 1.6 site and have been using it successfully to publish a well-styled and search-engine-friendly online catalog. check it out in action here: http://www.sin-sity.com (some nsfw-ish content)

here's what i most enjoy about this product:

- simple, table based layout for everything. it's easy to get a consistent look and feel by adding a few css overrides.
- outstanding administrator interface: every single thing entered on the back-end provides fields for meta title, description and keyword tags. using this component to sell tangible products, videos, software, *anything* is simple to understand.
- related products works like a charm. i just had to modify the css to get my over-size images to display properly in that tab in the administrator interface.
- the language barrier means that there were typos and grammatical errors out of the tin, but nearly every string this product presents is contained in the language file.
- tons of product variant (attribute) flexibility with the ability to add an image to an attribute.

i had this up and running within minutes and have spend hours tuning it. i love the thing. hands down the single most useful and adaptable joomla extension i've encountered, and i've used dozens of the things extensively.

I have to say that I am very impressed with this extension. I've been using Joomla for a little over a year now and got a project that needed the ability to take online orders only, with the ability in the future to charge people via the site. I was able to disable the payment section when someone checks out and set it up so people can place an order without having to make a payment (exactly what the client wanted). In the future, they'll charge the people through the website but they wanted to use their own inhouse system and enter all the orders that come in through the website into their payment system.

I installed the extension about 5 hours ago and was able to setup about a dozen products with details and imagery. Very easy to use.

I did need to take a look at the documentation for a couple things I got stumped on, but the videos helped as well as some of the information in the forums.

Well done and thank you for a great product.

Ive been playing with it for about 2 days now, I took out all reference to EURO, and replaced with USD. And still on the front page have prices showing EUR next to them. So I am confused. It looks like a nice and easy cart, but support from what i hear is horrible. Plus I wish i could read the site in English too, maybe I would understand what to do more. I like it so I cannot say anything bad, just confused because its in another language.
