Looks quite good !
Is there a HiRes version available ?
Comment by Blair Winans | 2009-09-10
Hi lindesbs - We're working on it... It got really compressed upon export, so we are re-uploading it...

HiRes Version should be here now... Had to figure out the right settings for our video export!

Looks great. You've done a good job. I have been looking for a CMS ecommerce Hybrid for a long time.
The bloated shopping carts out there are great but very design restrictive. Plus, bridging two systems together is just horrible. One seamless CMS ecommerce package is definately the way to go.
I am excited.

I am just wondering if you have considered services as part of the items in the cart. Why? Because some people sell services like hiring machines, or renting out a room etc. This type of cart would handle expirations either by date selected by customer, or set by admin. I found that some carts if not most don't remember to cater for this type of product.
I second Gary Griffiths above. Its easier to mentaine this type of ecommerce as the cms develops alongside than to keep hacking the bridge each time you try to move forward.
Am very excited.

How will you handle subscriptions? Just wondering.
Comment by Blair Winans | 2010-02-19
Hi Nelson - We've thought about that. The great thing is that since it is built on the TYPOlight core, it can interact with other CMS modules in order to expand the functionality as it needs to be, for example, interfacing with a calendar/events module to perform reservations, etc, so the possibilities are really endless. Because the cart is designed to be modular, just like TYPOlight, you can really do anything with it, and anything can essentially be a "product."
Subscriptions are in our sights as well. We will be working on an Automated Recurring Billing system for use with Authorize.net soon, and building it out from there.
