Looking for good Shopping Cart software to use with Joomla

[markw10]

I currently have a Content site up that's using Joomla but I want to add a store to the site. I first tried Virtuemart since it interfaces with Joomla. I ran into a few bugs and one of the main problems is the tax system. It goes by state and in the state I live in I have to also charge taxes by county/city/zipcode. I decided to look at other options:

CubeCart
ZenCart
osCommerce (concerned that it hasn't been updated for awhile)
CRELoaded
Miva
Storefront.net

I don't want to list all the features I'm looking for since it's so many but there are some very important ones listed below:

The multiple tax rates within a state
If I can have a link that returns to my main Joomla Content Site from the store (a link Home)
Downloadable purchases
User Ratings of Products
Quickbooks Integration (not necessary but would be nice)
Coupons
Features/Sale Products List
Search for products in store
List of Top Sellers
List of New Products
Different Customer Price Levels
Quantity Discounts
Attributes for items such as size and color
Show if a product is in stock or not
Set up that it can do drop shipping (not necessary but nice if it does this)
Can be set up for affiliates

I know these are a lot to ask for. I assume most are common in many shopping carts. Maybe others are available through extra addons/components/modules.

Since I know very little Php and CSS I want something that is easy to set up and administer.

Obviously cheap or low cost is nice but I want something that is secure and stable. I'm willing to pay more for that.

I'm interested help with the above. Thanks.

CubeCart- No
ZenCart- good but i havent see it work with joomla
osCommerce (concerned that it hasn't been updated for awhile)- VM is just a prepackaged version of Joomla with oscom but it might not have the same tax bug issue
CRELoaded- great...but they just came out with a content director option which you could look at
Miva- NO
Storefront.net- NO

Have you thought of just having someone with PHP skills take an hour or 3 and customize/fix your VM bug or tax issue?

Oh...I almost forgot...there is also this new platform http://www.joomla-store.com/

it is a combo of Joomla and CRE rather then the Virtuemart combo of joomla and oscommerce....so...it could be a much better solution for you. I have not used it but the concept seem great.

How about Virtuemart. It was written for Joomla

[usasportstrain]

If you're going with Joomla, then use Virtuemart.

I've never used Joomla but do you have access to the source code that it creates and is that source code standard like HTML or CSS?

i use joomla alot, virtuemart is good but limited. it can be heavily modified but with knowledge.
