  I don't know why you couldn't of just said what the cart was called in the first place. Took me all of ten minutes on google to find using key phrases from your posts in this thread.
  
  Thank you Brian. I only spent 2 minutes searching.
  I just wanted to know what it was, instead of the tease. As with most products, if it's good, it doesn't need excited teasing. It will stand on it's own.

- sorry anyone felt like I was "teasing" , but that in fact was not my intention...as I stated repeatedly in this thread, It's actually not quite ready...etc..etc.

- How do these integrate with custom templates, such as those at RT? I would like to see a demo of that or know what is involved in getting them to work together.

- well, it's quite easy..much like Virtuemart, there are a series of plugins, one component and display modules. You install them all...activate them of course, :cheesy: and in the component you set the direct path to the store installation, create a shared password. then you login to your store and set a few parameters...like using the Joomla skin option for the store, etc...and you're done! I'd love to use a rockettheme to create a demo site..I'm not sure how Andy would feel about that.. Actually I'd love to see a RT devoted entirely to the new ClickCart system.

- Looks pretty good at first glance. I been using VirtueMart for quite awhile now and it's okay for a very small basic shop but I certainly wouldn't like to get too serious with it . I've used a couple of shopping systems before but I prefer ones that integrate with Joomla since this is what I use 99.9% of the time. Let's hope that this new system is a huge improvement on VirtueMart.
  
  I would much rather pay for something that works, rather than get something free that gives you trouble. Rather like the difference between community builder and JomSocial , you get what you pay for

- Personally I will probably stick to Magento for standalone stores, will be interesting to see something to knock off Virtuemart, although I often don't see what all the fuss is, we have it running on a few sites and seem to have no issues.
  
  Always good to see a new option pop up onto the market, interesting, will take it for a test spin and see how it fairs.
  
  Interested in the template see how easy integration is

- I wouldn't have so much of a problem with VM if it wasn't for the shipping section. I find it an absolute pain to set up and get right. I used e-commerce couple of years ago and that was absolutely easy to set up.
  
  Is the system actually ready yet?

  LOL I have to agree there Penn, you should try the Australia post module, every product needs a weight Agh! the pain of it all, although that is not VM's fault Aust post only goes by weight I share your pain.
