I am exploring the Joomla + Community Builder + Virtua Mart or OScommerce solution or should I be looking at Drupal instead! Please advise. I appreciate all your advice, suggestions as to what would be the most simple and easy route to implement a solution that can provide the following features.
- Merchant members - (they can list and sell their products)
Members Register and create an account
They create profile or mini-site describing their products (they can style it like on myspace)
They Enter their products and options and prices into Shopping Cart System
They can come back and run sales reports and view activity history
They can also update their mini-site and or also their products, prices in the shopping cart
Merchant can choose to receive order via email, fax, IM, mobile text message.
- Customer Members - (they browse and purchase products)
Customers register and create an account
They can search by product, price, merchant, location etc and add them to favorites…
They can browse thru merchant mini sites and profiles and add them to their favorites
They can make purchases and track them and they can view their order history
They can create and read reviews for products
They can send feedback to a merchant and or rate a merchant
They can earn points for each order and apply point to next order from any merchant on site.
Thanks Again
