Hi there,
The biggest issue will be finding a suitable ecommerce extension that will meet your needs and be flexible enough to work with RT templates. We already have some older templates that were designed around ecommerce, such as Halcyon.
I have seen Virtuemart 2 used with various templates, including Leviathan, Syndicate and others.
Whichever way you go there will be custom work required somewhere.
Hope this helps

We also have a Magento club:
demo.rockettheme.com/magento/
I don't know if it will suite your needs though. - Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.
A template is only as good as the content that goes into it

thanks for the feedback as I'm gathering info about building an ecommerce site, since it will be my first time to make it, though I did some basic sites.

- It really depends on your needs, if you have lots of items and you need a lot of payment options then maybe Magento is right your you.

There's a bit of a learning curve, but it's a very well designed system. And our templates make things a little easier too :cheesy:
