At the moment I am using Magento but i dont really like it becasue of the limited capabilities, for example: I want to create a printshop so people can choose multiple options like: paper thickness, paper quality(shinny effects) number of order(100,500,1.000,2.500 etc..) a inbox so they can describe the design that I will create an upload function, so they can upload there design or show examples I need too know which webshop is the best that allows al these functions. and that I can easily adjust the html,css, php scripts. webshop platform that I can choose from DantoCart FreeWebshop Joomla & Mijoshop Joomla & HikaShop Joomla & VirtueMart Magento OpenCart OsCommerce OsDate PrestaShop QuickCart TomatoCart WebsiteBaker & Bakery WordPress & e-Shop WordPress & Marketpress WordPress & WooCommerce WordPress & WP e-Commerce xt Commerce ZenCart.
No matter what you select you will have to deal with limitations; sometimes you will be handcuffed. That is the nature of off the shelf, "easy to use" solutions. If you want flexibility, then you build your own toolset with all the capabilities you need. if you forget something, then you can always add it later. In the 50 years I have been programming I have yet to find any third party toolset, plugin, framework or anything else that did not limit my ability to do what I need to do, and I have never seen one where there is actualy a net gain in time saved over creating my own tools.
thanks for your comment, The thing is.. I can only choose from the plugings/ecommerce platfroms above because they are the only one that support payment from different banks (ING, rabobank etc..) in my county(The Netherlands) If I create my own website (that I would really love to do, and will make things 10 times easier) I have to be registered for really difficult things (its a long process and it will cost me to much ) so for now the platforms above are my only option. Whit youre expierence which platform do you recommend the most that complying closest to my requirements (bellow): dropdown options: paper thickness, (that will calculate the costs in total) dropdown options: paper quality(shinny effects) (that will calculate the costs in total) dropdown options: number of order(100,500,1.000,2.500 etc..) (that will calculate the costs in total) a inbox so they can describe the design that I will create (that will calculate the costs in total) and a upload function, so they can upload there design or show examples
You can have all those things you crave regardless of which e-commerce solution you chose - it's just about including the functionality / plugin (depending on solution). Your demands are basic (just a LITTLE bit more than a plain out-of-the-box solution), and should be catered for either within the software-platform itself, or via simple plugins. What you're describing is a simple form added to the order-page.
I dont know if this is really true what you just said, could you please take a look at the main bankaccount-website (and scrol down to the software plugins part with the numbers 1,2,3,4) from my country (The Netherlands) and tell me what you think about it. if this is true it would be really great for me! ideal-checkout{.}nl
Well, I dunno - it's basically too much to go through - my point was that the functionality you're requesting isn't hard to implement - it's got nothing to do with whatever shop-solution or payment-solution you want to implement - it only has to do with what information you want to get from the customer - it doesn't even have to go to the payment-processor (they can do just fine with just an ID and a payment sum), you can do all the processing in-house, and store whatever the customer selects in a custom order-table in the database. Seriously, I suggest you get a developer who knows whatever platform you end up using to look at this - it shouldn't be too expensive to get what you need added to the site. I don't know about the Netherlands, but almost every country I know of have a centralised (at least one) payment solution who provides plugins for almost anything you can possible think to use as a website to take payments. If I look at that page correctly, what they have there is payment-plugins for different platforms? Again - these plugins rarely have anything to do with what is actually on the site - all they need is to pick up certain values from the site (prices / amounts) and process those values and send them off. I'm pretty sure you're making this harder than it should be. Hire a developer, stop worrying about things you shouldn't worry about.
