I am currently trying to get a dnn store up and running.

I have not had much luck, I have purchase Portal Store and YandeStore .  Yande store works well out of the box, nice graphics but a little simple. Absolutely no documentation.

Portal store is extreemly compicated. and I have not been able to get it up and running yet.  It has poor confusing documentation (which seems to be the norm with DNN moduels )  and I wouldn't reccomend it yet, unless you have a lot of time on your hands

I would just like a simle store that works ,similar to Joomla' virtue mart, and there just doesn't seem to be one for DNN.  , unless you want to spend $1300 for aspstorefront. PLease let me know if you have better luck

Thanks,

James,

I understand some of your frustration (esp. with documentation), but my experience overall is pretty positive.  Here's a summary of my experience:

1. I first looked at (and purchased) AliCommerce.  It claims to have a long list of features, however in general use it breaks down and has significant limitations.  Also the user interface for AliCommerce is very non-intuitive and gets in the way.
2. So I took another look at the core DNN Store (v2.01). In fact I find it to be a great solution, with the hopes of being even better.  I've been working with it for about a month.
   • PRO:
     • The user interface is really excellent.  A fairly minimalist approach with just the right number of bells and whistles.
     • Very stable.  I ran into just one bug with checkout, and got a patch right away.
     • Configurable.  There are a lot of sensibe config options, and also it's easy to access the templates and styles.
     • Forum support is pretty strong and usually I can get an answer within a day or two.
   • CON:
     • As you mentioned, virtually no documentation.
     • Styles and templates out of box are not in a good format.  Basically I deleted all the stylesheets and created my own single stylesheet with just about 5 lines.  Then I had to spend a lot of time (maybe 4 hours) reworkiing the templates (ProductDetail.htm and ProductList.htm) to get them looking the way I wanted. 

I'll have a store online today and another store online within 2 weeks.  I'm planning to use Portal Store for all future shopping sites.

Features I desperately need:

• Address integration within DNN core
• Product Attributes

Anyway, that's my experience to date.  I encourage you to take another look at Portal Store, with a little work (mostly templates and styles) it can be a great solution.
