- I think it stands for Content Construction Kit. Zoo, K2, Sobi, and a few others are basically CCKs. They replace the article manager and let you build custom layouts for your articles.

Came across this one recently - Might be worth checking out.
j2store.org/
By the way thanks for the Ecwid tip. That one looks pretty slick.

Problem with Ecwid is that they are now free for only up to 10 products (and charge $12.50 per month for 10-100 products)
I just downloaded J2store and will play with it. The reviews are great so I'm optimistic.
I've installed Mijoshop on several few sites. It does everything you want well but the idea of simply adding a button to an article (via J2store) sounds sooo much better. I'm looking for the simplest cart possible.
Mijoshop requires some tweaking of CSS to get the exact look you want but then it is over-written with updates. - Last Edit: 11 years 3 months ago by Deb Williams.

My name is Amaral Web Designer. I'm in Brazil. We Brazilians live with a reality bad about e-commerce. Not all components of CMS and E-commerce can be used in our country. The lack of plugins and mail payment to Brazil, prevents us from using many components. Here Paypal is not very popular among Brazilians. When it comes to Gatways, use more or Pag Seguro B Cash. This problem of lack of plugins actually prevents the use of Joomshopping, Red Shop, K2 Store and many others.
Until a year ago, Virtue Mart, Open Cart and Magento dominated the preference of Brazilians. With the fall of Virtue Mart, who wore Virtue Mart started using OpenCart and now many people are using Mijoshop. I am a User MIjoshop advanced and so have collected glories with this component.
Mijoshop brought the full power of Joomla OPen Cart. The chekout of OpenCart is wonderful. And joining Joomla and OpenCart .. everything was very good with MijoShop.
About Presta Shop-Brazilian community of Presta Shop is very small. The users that still risk using PrestaShop has many problems due to not having an active community here in Brazil.

+1 vote for hikashop, took a leap of faith and used it for the first time on a wholesale website which was converted from virtuemart. I've been very happy with the choice.
The only thing I don't like is the way it handles it's own 'internal' module settings. That was quite annoying to deal with but because everything else worked so well it's a small price to pay and you only have to set it up once.
To help put the above in context; I haven't tried mijoshop yet.

I checked about the pricing for mijoshop and the information is different from what is posted in this thread. There is a one off cost with support and then no further charges, there is no per product charge. I think the poster was mixing it up with another posting.
I have been a life long virtuemart supporter but recently heard a lot of interest in the London Joomla User Group about mijoshop. I looked at it some while back and was not impressed, but now I am coming round after several months of different developers commenting at the usergroup as to how good it is.
I hate making a move when you have invested so much in to one product but I am doing more and more J3 sites and VM states in the forum its not going to be J3 until march 2014! even though we have it on J3 sites at the moment, surprised me to read it. Mijoshop is J3 stable

I've used a few many different e-commerce packages, including Magento, WP-ecommerce on WordPress. However the one I use most often is HikaShop. So far I've used it for many different types of product, and it does whatever I want it to do. It seems to cope with just about anything I throw at it. Features I've used include optional components and upgrades (each with its own price), special prices for particular customers, various characteristics (colour variations, etc), product selection by filtering, and so-on. Over the couple of years I've been using it for, I've found HikaShop to be robust – simply chugging on as it should do, much to the delight of at least one customer, who had lots of trouble with his old system.
Setting up some tasks can be a little complicated, mainly because those feature I'm setting up are complicated. I think some people expect setting up ecommerce to be more simple than it is. But it's always going to be fairly involved, as you're dealing with complications such as taxes and tax regions; shipping services, rates and regions, pricing options, product variations, etc. There's a steep learning curve with ecommerce generally, no matter which package you use.
HikaShop gets my vote. It's excellent value (there's even a free version). Support is great too.
