Tienda
Easy-to-use/setup: Missing a few things.

Tienda
Tienda in its current state (still beta) is just short of excellent as a shopping cart solution for Joomla! 1.5. It is easier to set up than other Joomla! shopping carts, but at the moment doesn't have the level of documentation that is absolutely needed for a viable commercial shopping cart system. As a result I can not give it an Excellent marking.
Documentation is one thing. A little bugginess is another, but for an e-commerce cart, reports are exceptionally important. And unfortunately, the beta version has only a specimen report of "most popular". This needs to be fixed.

I particularly like the way they use real Joomla! modules to connect to payment processors. This makes configuring much easier than the way that other shopping carts for joomla work.

Tienda seems focused on integrating the features of Joomla with its code, instead of requiring the user to learn a complete new construction. For instance, I can use the editor defined by Joomla!, instead of being forced to use whatever editor the shopping cart application has chosen.

This will be an excellent cart when they finish the product.

Thanks for the review! I wish you had waited one more day to post this because we've added 4 more reports to the core Tienda package :-)

* Report on Ordered Products
* Sales Report
* Subscriptions Report
* Report on Products with Low Stock

Reports in Tienda are ALSO normal Joomla plugins, so it makes it very easy for anyone in the community (who can write a Joomla plugin) to create a new Tienda report.

Cheers!
