eCommerce using Drupal - ubercart is fantastic

This article has been updated and now lives at The PC Workshop

Ubercart is a shopping cart and e-commerce suite built on top of the leading open source CMS, Drupal. Ubercart is totally integrated with Drupal's major core and contributed systems, providing you with a shopping cart on top of your normal community or company website.

This week I've been evaluating various ecommerce applications to try and tie them in with the Drupal Content Management System. As with Drupal, Ubercart is Open Source (spelt F-R-E-E) and once again 'WOW' how do these fantastic Open Source get overlooked by so many people.

After playing with osCommerce, ZenCart, Romancart and finally giving Ubercart  a look I'm franky amazed by the power, simplicity and comprehensiveness of Ubercart. As I type this (November 2007) It's in the Alpha stage of development but allready blows the other products out of the water!

Ubercart was simple to install - simply upload the folder into Drupal, enable the modules and voila!! it worked.
