This is the Magento/EE bridge product.
Is anyone using it?

I can’t find any recent mentions of it here and their forum has just a handful of posts, so I can only assume it died on the vine.

Does anyone have any information about it?

Thanks,

sedev

Haven’t heard much from them recently, have you tried contacting them directly?

I don’t know why they would scrap it, there is certainly a need…

Seems like there’s a download for it. Don’t know much beyond that though.

From what I remember the solution is exceptionally expensive. WAY beyond normal mom & pop sites.

Might be useful for massive sites but I seem to remember the cost was in the thousands.

Best wishes,

Are you thinking of ShopIgniter? They’re a bit expensive, but I don’t recall any pricing for EECommerce.

ShopIgniter is defintely not dead… they just got some VC a while back, so the world is looking good for them. They get one sale and they’ll beat our entire profits for a month. 😊

nah I remember the eeCommerce pricing too.  it was like $1250/year or $2500 one time payment for the software that tied EE and Magento together.

Have a looksie here 😉

Best wishes,

Lite is $149. Not too bad.

The fact that the Tech Support area of their forum has 7 posts in total (the most recent being back in October 2009) leads me to believe that they didn’t sell too many “Pro” licenses. I thought that the pricing was ridiculous as well when the product was announced, although the subsequent “Lite” version seemed to address that. Now, however, it says it is in “Open Beta” and the “Add to Cart” buttons on that pricing page don’t go anywhere.

I am really only interested in EECommerce because a client of mine is stuck using Magento, as they have some very complicated shipping and inventory needs.  I am not a fan of Magento at all, particularly its templating setup. I was hoping to use EE as the frontend for the site, using EECommerce, but I am loath to invest any time in it, as it really seems abandoned at this point.

@sedevEE, did you find any other options for integrating EE and Magento? I am in the same boat, and stumbled across eecommerce, but it looks like a ghost town. Mostly I want to integrate the Magento and EE user systems so it is a single signon.

This doesn’t answer your question James, but you might want to check this out:

Hi James,

Actually, I am exploring CartThrob myself, as Chris suggested. Not sure if it can cope with the complex store that I have currently set up on Magento, but I really hope it can. Would be great to live in EE for everything.

I didn’t pursue EECommerce any further.

Best of luck,

Seamus
