Looking for installation guidance for Concrete with eCommerce

eCommerce
1

Hi,
I have experience with websites and some programming going back decades, but appreciate advice from experienced users.
I’d like to build a store with a shopping cart on a hosted site with SSL.
I have a site .icon, banner image, etc.
The hosting service declares they are compatible with user-installed Concrete.
I don’t mind entering site parameters but I’d prefer not to code.
I’d prefer to use free or flat-fee modules with reliable support.
I intend to use PayPal products for merchant services as my customers prefer it.
I have about 600 products that come in a few variations each, and also reside in one or more categories.
I need multi-faceted search functionality – not just blind search.
I’d like to offer a wait list (not backorder) for out-of-stock items and put a limit on length of a wait list.

So, in addition to ConcreteCMS what modules will be useful?
Is there a guide that might assist me from end to end on these installations?

Thank you in advance.

With that many products and the functionality I would say use community store @mesuva is the person to ask as he developed it.

@mesuva also has the shopfiy plugin which I have been using recently. It works very well as a blended solution but might be too much admin for 600 products.

There is also Bitter Shop System by @fabianbitter which might also work for you. Ask Fabian if it can do what is needed.

Bitter System for eCommerce says not version 9 compatible. But the descriptions says it is version 9 compatible. Does anyone know whether Bitter eCommerce is version 9 compatible? I am not experienced enough to tackle Community yet. Also would consider the shopify extension solution if it could be used with multiple domains. Thanks, Steve

I use the FREE community store.

Poker tables made in the UK. High quality poker tables for sale.

Shopify allow to manage mutiple domain Shopify plus plan. With this plan, you don’t need to pay separately for each domain. You can add and manage multiple stores with different domains but under one Shopify account. For more information consult with Shopify Experts regarding other issue related to Shopify.

To be in the new marketplace, it has to be v9 compatible. That is a marketplace requirement.

CommunityStore from Mesuva is an amazing work of art and fulfills anything I had ever wanted from a shopping system. It’s a great ressource and possible to extend further. Look at that.
