So who's the farest of them all???

I also did an install of miniShop2 and as far as I have seen it works pritty nice.
Would really be a good thing if some of the "lacking" points can be implemented.

At the moment I don't need Gateways or VAT so this will fit very good.
Wonder what the future will bring.

We used to use Lemonstand but they are killing version 1 and version 2 is hosted only with outrageous pricing based on inventory (at least at prices our clients would not pay).
We have currently settled on CS Cart for the eCommerce end of thing and of course MODX for content. It has some nice multilingual features.

No eCommerce system is as nice as MODX (at least that I've run into). A fully featured eCommerce module within MODX would be the killer module for it. But eCommerce is an entire world on it's own and building a standout module would be extremely time consuming and take many hours of development.

eCommerce systems are lacking on the CMS side and CMS's are lacking on the eCommerce side. Whichever CMS/CMF marries the 2 will be very popular.

Yup really don't like the monthly cost of Lemonstand.
While CS Cart is pritty fast I prefer Magento.

After all these years of modx to bad there isn't any good/extended modx ecommerce solution yet
In the mean time I will follow the miniShop2 progress. Hope it will get maxi in future

I think the problem is that everyone wants one but so far getting into details of what it would look like seems to be a problem. I tried to start a thread on this almost a year ago (http://forums.modx.com/thread/?thread=83712), and there was more discussion of the desire to have one in Cologne, but since then, I haven't seen much of anything in terms of trying to get a solution that would satisfy everyone.

Would take many years to start a new shop in modx, as you listed in the old post there are some options and to me it looks like miniShop2 is the best option.

Another possible alternative to building a new e-com module for ModX is to integrate existing applications. After an exhaustive research we've settled on PrestaShop. It's a full featured ecommerce platform with scores of plugins and an active community without the bloat and performance issues of Magento. Presta comes with an extensive API which could be used to integrate with MODx.
I'd be curious to hear from the experts as to the feasability of such an integration.

ps. Just checked out Prestashop and didn't know it was that good
