Hmm...it'd be much easier if my company's site was online, so I could show you what I need. I'll try explain this the best I can:

Before I explain though, I'll say that your store looks great. However, unless I'm confused, it appears that you have to have multiple tabs for the store. Could it  be run out of just one tab? Or one tab, with a drop down list for multiple categories. (My company does books, and we need to have different store sections for: Spanish, French, Creole, English, Russian, and multiple other African, Asian, and European languages.)

 Also, if anyone knows anything about the following modules, and if they can do what I just asked, please tell me:
CataLook
Portal Store
GumboSoft's Google Checkout
WWStore
Sysdatanet

Note: We're a nonprofit, running mainly on donations, so cheap = good. But quality = better. Thanks

Just clickon "Store" tab, that's what you are looking for.  To find out which store suits your needs better, try it online or on your own computer.

Good luck,

Frank

I looked at the alicommerce module demo and in terms of functionality does not appear to provide that much more than the store module.  Especially in the areas of discounts. While both stores are limited, the alicommerce store looks like it can be quite expensive. It appears that the standard version is limited to 50 products and includes a "powered by alicommerce" at the end of the product listing for a cost of under $100. In addition, it is licensed by domain so it can be real pricey for the  capabilities that it provides so far. The professional version is the same as standard with no product limitation but is more expensive.

Catalook requires a huge learning curve but can do almost anything you require. it is not limited to a domain and is 99 bucks. I need a simple store module like you but need to be able to have discount breaks and percentage off. So I will wait until alicommerce catches up.

 While both stores are limited, the alicommerce store looks like it can be quite expensive.



No, it' not, my friend. You only pay $ 79 or $129 for a professional product an elite team spent 4000+ hours on. If you can find a better deal, let me know.



 It appears that the standard version is limited to 50 products and includes a "powered by alicommerce" at the end of the product listing for a cost of under $100.



No, I'm afraid you're wrong again. You can hide EULA logo if you want.  Have a look at FAQs at AliCommerce web site

 



Catalook requires a huge learning curve but can do almost anything you require. it is not limited to a domain and is 99 bucks.



Oh, no, not again, my friend. It's not about "huge learning curve" or 99 bucks, it's about whether you clients can run a successful online business with it. If they can't , they're no happy no matter how little you charge them. If they are not happy, they speak. When they speak, you lose more potential clients. Trust me, I know this from our own and many others' experience before we went into DNN cart business.



I need a simple store module like you but need to be able to have discount breaks and percentage off. So I will wait until alicommerce catches up.



We do have product volume discounts support. Also we're designing a very powerful promotion engine. AliCommerce will catch up, but not with any DNN e-Commerce modules, but with e-Commerce platforms like osCommerce.  With added full-time and part-time resources, we’re getting closer and closer each day.
