Introduction

e-Commerce, Shopping Cart, Payment systems, Payment Gateway, Paid Downloads

J2Commerce is open-source ecommerce built on Joomla 6. Sell physical products, digital downloads, wholesale and product variants from the Joomla site you already run, with every product, order and customer stored in your own Joomla database.


J2Commerce runs as a native Joomla 6 component, so products are Joomla articles, customers are Joomla users and checkout runs inside your own site. Five product types, a one-page checkout, coupons, tax by zone, multi-currency and 22 languages are included in the core package, and hundreds of extensions add payments, carriers, subscriptions, wholesale and reporting when your store needs them.

Compatibility

  • 6.x supports Joomla 6 - no restrictions
  • 4.1.x supports Joomla 5 and 6 - The Backward Compatibility plugin must be enabled (all options)
  • 4.0.x supports Joomla 4 and 5 - The Backward Compatibility plugin must be enabled for Joomla 5 only (all options)

Features & Benefits

Products & Variants

Five product types: Simple, Variable, Flexible Variant, Configurable, Downloadable. Every variant gets its own SKU, price, weight and stock count, and you manage a whole size-and-color grid as one product.

100+ apps extend it further.

Storefront & Templates

Two template families ship in the box, each with its own layout overrides, so your site template stays in charge of how your store looks.

Override any single layout in your own template without forking the rest.

Marketing & Promotions

Coupons, order-level and product-level discounts and stored-value vouchers come built in, and the Gift Card / Certificates extension turns those vouchers into gift certificates you can sell. Every discount is worked out on your server, so each total matches the price you set.

Bulk discounts and gift cards are ready to add as Apps.

One-Page Checkout

Address, shipping, payment and review all sit on one page. Guests buy without making an account, returning customers get their saved addresses back, and every field carries a real label that stays visible while shoppers type.

Store Management

Orders, customers, taxes and reports live in the Joomla admin you already know, built from the same list screens core Joomla uses. Health checks point you straight to any setting that needs attention.

Inventory Control

Stock is counted per variant, held the moment an order starts, and returned to the shelf when an order is not completed. You decide what happens at zero, and stock state always shows in words as well as color.

Inventory apps add warehouse and linked-stock rules.

Payment Methods

PayPal, cash on delivery, money order and bank transfer are built in, and PayPal refunds run from the order screen.

100+ payment methods are ready to add.

Shipping Methods

Standard rates and free shipping are core, scoped by region and by order value.

Shipping extensions cover live carrier rates.

Speed, Accessibility & Structured Data

Product and price details go out in the format search engines read, on a lean storefront built to WCAG 2.2 AA that ships without jQuery.

Faster pages and clear product data earn your store more clicks from search and more sales from every visit.
