I agree with Gordon about using Drupal 7. I decided, about 2 months ago that it would probably be at least 6mo, or more before I would want to use Drupal 7. I'm a newbie and don't want to deal with early bugs and the lack of books to lead me by the nose. Drupal 6 has several good books to help you get started. There is also a wealth of great modules for v6 that are also in early stages for v7. Good luck, Bill

For D7 the options are Commerce or Ubercart, not eCommerce currently.

After trying out both solutions (eCommerce and Ubercart), I settled on ubercart. It seemed more mature. I also had a book that helped get me started (Drupal for Dummies). It was simply easier to get ubercart working for my application. Also, I have software downloads that need to be part of the store and ubercart had better support for that. Good luck, Bill

Hello, I'm looking to create my first ecommerce site and could use some direction (books, tutorials, videos, etc.) I also intend to build the site as a D7 site. It looks like there's a reliable Ubercart release for D7 - but I've also been reading about Drupal Commerce, and I'm finding it confusing figuring out which would be a better route to take.
The site I'd like to create would start out with about 20 (physical) products organized into about 5 categories. Over time I'd like to double that (40+ products / 10+ categories). I'd need to take credit cards & track inventory, sales and shipping. My php skills arent too great, but I'm not scared to get my hands dirty.
I'm hoping somebody can give me some suggestions on which ecommerce solution to take (ubercart ordrupal commerce), what I'm in for, and some good resources. My first ecommerce site is a little intimidating.. but it's time to get one under my belt!
