Getting started with Magento Commerce.
I have been using a Virtuemart for Joomla for quite a while. I was never fully satisfied with it’s layout and functionality and it’s code was too clumsy to easily modify. So I set off to find a replacement. I was originally looking for a paid full service host, but then I found Magento.
Magento is an open source eCommerce platform that is built and supported by Varien. Magento has a very nice interface and many top level features. It is one of the only open source platforms that I have seen in use by major companies.
The download and install on the store on my linux host was easy and straight forward. I had a sample store up and running in no time. Now, I have to customize the site and make it uniquely PeakRacer.
In the next installment I will share some store setup tips. Subscribe to the RSS Feeds Here .
