Was this information Helpful?

Hi all,
I'm evaluating the differences among OS e-commerce solution and I'm finding Ubercart as a good candidate for the final choice. The point is, I need some customization and before beginning to learn developing in Drupal framework I wanted to ask an opinion.
I want to make an internet shop with printing services. During the checkout, it should be possible to:
- have a custom pane with the upload of some files, the number of uploads depending on the type of product chosen.
- have a custom pane with other customization like, for example, a button displaying the uploaded image and a button giving the opportunity to transform it from CMYK to B&W, then showing the result.
- have the opportunity even for unregistered users to enter the store and modify an order using the order code and email.

Thank you in advance for any answer.

what is your question?

if you are asking "can this be done", I'd say "yes, it can be done".

If you are asking "how long", that would take time to estimate.

Note that I know nothing about os commerce, so I can't compare the two.

oscommerce vs drupal for customization

i've made a business card printing page in oscommerce, with image uploader, on the other side I worked also with the gd library to process the images, and i'm currently working on something similar in drupal.
I can say that oscommerce customization is a little bit difficult to start because the code is a little messy, on the other side, drupal has many modules and the customization is made on many files, and could be even harder to understand. if you have some knowledge about oscommerce, go with it. if you are starting from scratch, use ubercart.
