I do not often write reviews but to say I am impressed with this extension is not enough! I had tried to work with 4 shopping carts previously and none of them managed to do what I needed.

I stumbled across Eshop and it looked like a possible solution. I took the decision to buy this extension and I have to say it has been my best buy on Joomla.

The back end interface is exceptional and easy to use. Due to my template I needed some help and the team could not have been more helpful!!

If you are looking for a shopping cart, now is the time to stop looking!! You will not find a better extension and you will not find better support!! Thank you so much!!!

Our non-profit organization was in urgent need to establish eCommerce presence without overblown solutions that will require resources and upgrades. Our search for the right component was finalized when we tested out eShop's functionality. We discovered straight-forward process flow and component configuration. We needed a solution that is supported by its developers. And eShop stands out in our opinion with its willingness to help its customers. When we need modification - support is always there. Prompt.



Highly recommend for those starting their eCommerce presence. One of the best investments we have made.

I was looking for an alternative for Virtuemart because it's to complex for most of the webshops that I'm setting up. EShop is a vergy good alternative if you need a simple webshop.



You can make your own template so the layout is fully customizable without making core changes. The payment and shipping plugins are also sufficient for my needs.



I had some problems with the Paypal plugin, because it wasn't working correct with the decimals in my currenct setup (Dutch). They helped me very quick solving this problem and everything's working fine now.

Component is awesome! For small and medium-sized stores it fits just right. Very reasonable price, very fast support! Weight languages. Appearing recently, store functionality and capabilities already walked so many centenarians market. We wish the manufacturer does not stop success, and go as fast forward! Super!

I've spent the last three weeks testing all the popular e-commerce extensions in JED, trying to figure out which one is more suitable.



Eshop has grown fast and impressively, considering it's one of the newest e-commerce joomla extensions, therefore i decided to give it a try.



However, after testing this extension i realised that it still needs some important additions and improvements.

I believe this cart has a strong potential to reach the top, but at the moment is still immature. Here are the Pros and Cons i found:



Pros:

1. Eshop provided a smooth installation experience and integrated well in my bootstrap framework template.

2. Front-end has a clean, good looking interface, and both built-in viewing functions (Zoom image and list-grid view) are very useful.

3. Understandable and easy to manage back-end especially for new administrators who want to avoid complicated settings and overrides.

4. SEO friendly, althought i still didn't check it with the online seo tools but it has all the functions including metadata and integrated social web solution.

5. Has a very understandable and flexible taxation system, able to apply even multiple taxes to a product and even divide it to several customer types (groups)

6. All the basic functions are included in the main extension package (coupons, vouchers, wishlist, comparison, reviews, currencies etc) for which in many other similar extensions you have to pay. Moreover, with other extensions you might have to install several additional plugins, and i guess some people (like me) hate to fill up their back-end with hundrends of plugins..

7. The affordable price of the extension package.



Cons:

1. Creation custom fields is not possible

2. Product copy function doesn't exist in order to help creation of similar products easily. So when you have a range of products with similar options and attributes, you have to create them over and over again, all manualy. Same about the attributes and options, no copy function.

3. Options and different product's attributes are not syncronized with the stock. Having one product with different varieties cannot be posted as a single record since there is currently no possibility to display it's availability for each variety through the shopping process, but only during checkout. This is the main reason i will probably not use Eshop although i purchased it, since i have alot of products varieties but each one with different stock availability.

4. Documentation is ok but could be more detailed since it only provides basic explanations. I didn't use the support tickets, so i cant really speak about developer's support, but i posted a few forum topics and i have to say it's not very helpful. Developer is polite and willing to help, but sometimes his reply is more or less simply "that's they way it is". However i think that's fair enough since the extension already offers many features for its price.

5. Some back-end features are tiring to input, such as the "similar products" for which you have to select them one by one from a drop down list, or the "options / attributes" which you have to manualy type in text fields each time you create a new product. No feature for product's attributes to be automatically applied to a selected category or group of products.

6. There is currently no solution for applying batch discounts or price increases according to the products categories or customer groups. There is a customer's groups creation feature which simplifies things, but still you have to manualy input everything one by one to all products.

7. Suppliers and Product categories in Eshop only exist for hosting the products and for menus structure, although they generally need to be associated with more options, taxes, discounts etc. If for example one of the shop's suppliers inceases his prices on a later time, there should be the possibility to automatically apply this % to all the related products associated with this supplier.

8. It provides a basic ability to display different prices according to the quantity of products purchased (e.g $5 for ordering one piece and $4 for ordering at least 5 pieces), but this function doesn't work when the displayed product has different priced options to choose from, because it is not dynamically updated according to the option selection.



In general, this extension didn't meet my expectations.

I bought this extension, and I found really easy. It has a very good design and you are ready to start working with it as you installed it. It's the most easy and complete ecoomerce I've ever seen. I had some problem and I worked with the developer. He fixed all my problems and added some stuff I need. Again. Best extension ever!

As an average Joomla user with the need for a shopping cart, I needed far more than a great shopping cart extension. I knew from past sites and former extensions I would run into some conflict somewhere and dreaded getting the response I have gotten so often.."its your__(fill in the blank) So I bought this extension and set it up....Looked great....easy to understand and handled all my needs...Then came them dreaded problem. A conflict with the template I was running. Yikes!

A quick Skype message and I instantly had a reply and even though it was a template problem and not theirs.....they had me up and running in no time

If you want a great shopping cart and support is important to you. This is the cart for you. The support alone makes it a best buy....Bob

Eshop Shopping Cart is good

I just bought an eShop Shopping Cart extension 4 days ago and today I'm back to buy another product of an eShop, eShop Theme Market.

I do not have the habit of reaction on the products purchased, but I have to speak out a fair word for eShop today. EShop Shopping Cart is a very good product and when I need help they respond very quickly, even if the problem is not related to the responsibilities of their products, but they are also willing to help me if they can.

I am currently a programmer for websites, but are starting to open a shop on the internet as an income left hand. I am also looking very carefully extensions before buying the product.



I really should introduce you old eShop Shopping Cart

I am not a regular joomla-User, but the new project let me learn some more details about the CMS. And the extension eShop made it very easy to setup a detailed shop-option to my new site.

Best Shop-Solution for joomla!

Best support and personal contact!

THX!

very good extension. top notch support. can pretty much do anything you need. it's smooth and pleasant to work with as well. i highly recommend it.
