Drupal as a shopping cart

Recently a client of ours was looking for a shopping cart solution, and after trying to find a decent PHP/MySQL application that actually worked, we ended up choosing Übercart, which is a collection of modules that run within Drupal. (Both Übercart and Drupal are open source.)

So far it's been a positive experience. Being familiar with Drupal helps quite a bit, and if you are starting from ground zero as far as Drupal knowledge and Übercart knowledge, you've got some work ahead of you. Even with a good familiarity of Drupal, Übercart has a great deal of configuration options, which is good when you want a powerful solution, but can make it difficult to get up and running quickly.

Hopefully we'll have a nice follow-up when the site launches. Ecommerce-based Drupal sites is definitely a subject we want to discuss at DrupalCampWisconsin.
