E-commerce website with blog
Hello,
I’m looking for a blog + commerce solution. I tried out yab_shop, but I need something with a more detailed backend, registering users, remaining goods, couple of payment methods. Do you have any suggestion?
I’m considering
- wordpress + wp ecommerce
- prestashop
- drupal 6
- symphony cms
Of course, easy templating would be a plus.
Thanks!

While yab_shop doesn’t do it all in one place, I’m doing all the above with a few plugins in tandem:
- yab_shop for handling products and checkout (I’ve made a few mods to help with certain aspects)
- PayPal integration using smd_ipn to update stock info on successful payment and send out invoices
- smd_tabber to offer dashboards for managing inventory and balancing the books
- mem_self_register / rvm_privileged for offering registration and content differentiation based on login status
- smd_access_keys for special promotions and time-limited offers / downloads
- smd_user_manager for creating user groups with limited privileges to see particular tabs
If you need a few more payment options than PayPal or Google Checkout though — and don’t want to use PayPal’s portal for accepting non-PP credit card payments — then I concur that you should look elsewhere. The above simply gives you an idea of what is possible with some plugin combinations and a bit of ingenuity in Textpattern.
The smd plugin menagerie — for when you need one more gribble of power from Textpattern. Bleeding-edge code available on GitHub.

Bloke, thanks so much! :)
In fact, I need payments in this order: cash on delivery (because it’s a local shop), bank transfer, and PP, the following are not mandatory…
