Re: eCommerce
My challenge is in the sale of both tangible and digital goods.
Yep definite deal breaker. Didn’t catch that in your first post. Rumor has it that Feb. it is expected to deploy into the main app. But who knows fur sure… And in that case I don’t envy you ;) I have yet to find an ecommerce package that is not troublesome in one respect or another.

Re: eCommerce
I hear that soulship. It really is a jungle out there, even for seasoned pros.
I just downloaded Joomla and Virtue Mart to kick the tires a bit. (Why do I feel so dirty now?)

Re: eCommerce
What about Joe_GCart as a framework to start from? Most of the difficult work is already done there (integrating TXP with a shopping cart). I guess if you’re not trying to integrate TXP directly to your bank, and all the trouble of securely accepting CC’s, it shouldn’t be too hard to configure Joe’s cart to work with PayPal or Google. You will still have to muck around with the PHP – but either of those services will still return you to your site after a successful transaction so it shouldn’t make a difference if you throw up a “thank you – here’s your confirmation number” page or a download link..
