And now with iJoomla DigiStore, it gets even easier! Within literally minutes, you can have a front-end store that allows you to sell digital AND tangible goods - no merchant account and no SSL necessary!
iJoomla DigiStore has been designed specifically for Joomla users!
iJoomla DigiStore is a hands-off Joomla store that enables you to
generate income with minimum work and maximum profit. It was designed
with simplicity of use in mind. Find out about the different features,
see the live demos, client showcase and testimonials, and get answers
to all the frequently asked questions.
And unlike other e-commerce solutions now being used with Joomla,
iJoomla DigiStore was created specially for Joomla. That means it works

Get started fast:
iJoomla DigiStore consists of a component, three modules and a plugin.

Analyze this!
iJoomla DigiStore doesn't just give you sales. It also gives you something that's just as valuable (well, almost): information.

As with all our products, we're confident you'll have a great
experience using iJoomla DigiStore. That's why we're prepared to offer

You can buy it, try it and if - for any reason at all - you feel
iJoomla DigiStore is just not for you, drop us a line and we'll give
you a full refund. You've got nothing to lose.
iJoomla DigiStore handles everything for you - from user registration to payment. Once you've set up the store, there's nothing to do but bring in buyers and count your cash.
Why bother with stores that are complicated, confusing and take hours to configure? iJoomla DigiStore is so easy to use that anyone - even people with very little Joomla experience - can use it. Don't believe us? Check out this video tutorial.
To run a successful store, you need to monitor statistics, from how many users become buyers to how much you spend to make a sale. Our Google Analytics integration makes it easy to keep track of such vital information.
How many products did you sell today? Last week? This month? See your sales figures 24/7 on the DigiStore statistics page. You can find the stats for any date range, easily and in real time.
We want you to set up your DigiStore as quickly as possible. That is why we provide payment method plugins that you can install and use right away. The more payment methods you offer, the higher your conversion rate.
You can charge state tax or VAT easily with DigiStore. Just enter your own country and state, select a taxation method, and you're done! Your visitors will choose their country and state during the registration, and DigiStore will calculate the tax.
You can choose to charge tax on all purchases made in your state/province or country, or
charge tax on all purchases. (Make sure you know the appropriate tax law in your country and state!)
Before purchasing at your store, your customers will need to register. They'll only have to do this once; on their next visit, they can simply log in. Registration also adds their details automatically to the general Joomla database.
Got the next killer app? A future best-selling eBook? DigiStore can make it
available for purchase and download instantly.
And selling tangible products is just as simple. DigiStore enables
you to set product-specific flat or variable shipping rates by region.
If you set up your store to use your PayPal account, you can print
shipping labels and arrange for package pick-up within seconds of
selling.
When purchasing some physical goods, users should be able to choose between different attributes for the product. For example, if you're selling t-shirts, you'd want your customers to be able to choose the color, the size or both! Instead of creating a separate product for blue shirts, red shirts and white shirts, or even worse a separate product for large red shirts, medium blue shirts, etc., you can create just one product with different attribute fields. iJoomla DigiStore enables you to create custom attribute fields and assign them to your products.
Each product has its own page that displays the image, name, price, description and an "Add to Cart" button. You'll find a default HTML layout on the Layout tab that you can adapt as you wish or use without any changes at all.
A great way to increase both your Return on Investment (ROI) and gross revenue to creating packages. If someone already wants to buy, why not offer them other products in a bundle? It will save them money, and make you a lot more money without any additional effort! This will also decrease your cost per sale, which is how much money, on average, you spend on advertising to generate a sale.
Just because a customer makes a payment doesn't mean the selling process is over (well, not if you're smart about it). You must keep selling the product even after the payment posts and the product is delivered. That's why iJoomla DigiStore enables you to send customers a follow-up email for each product, in addition to the general order confirmation email they get.
iJoomla DigiStore is 100% integrated with idevaffiliate, the leading affiliate program. We integrate with both the stand alone version and the Joomla component version. All you have to do is configure the idevaffiliate and you're done!
Turn your regular Joomla pages into top-selling product pages!
Joomla is an incredibly powerful tool, and when you pack on some high-quality extensions, you can create rich articles containing videos, image galleries and a whole lot more. In fact you can create exactly the sort of attractive, sticky pages that would work perfectly as product pages for our new iJoomla DigiStore.
So we've created a mambot that lets you convert any content page into a product page simply by placing an "Add To Cart" button, like this one:
A great way to increase your sales is offer promo codes to your existing or potential customers. Just announce the promo code on your site or on your newsletter and see the sales increase 100-500% easy!
The stock feature allows you to monitor how many items are available for you and add to the stock as needed. On the front-end, you can show "sold out" sticker to let your customers know the item is out of stock.
This module allows you to track all your sales using Google Analytics. This adds some real power to your DigiStore and allows you to analyze stats/trends. This module is installed automatically for you when you install the component. All you have to do is set the analytics ID number and you're all set!
This module shows your shoppers a link to their store account and a link to their licenses/purchased items. Users can access their account info and purchased items at any time.
This module shows a "Buy Now" button or "No items in cart" initially, but as soon as the user adds at least one item to the cart, it shows a mini shopping cart with a checkout button. This is a very useful module that allows your users to keep track on what's in their cart while keep shopping. After they finished payment, the module gets emptied and shows the "Buy Now" button or "No items in cart" again.
This module menu automatically generates menu items for each category. Clicking on the category name takes the user to a list of products of that category.
Just a note of thanks and much LOVE for the Digistore! I have been a
"pained" user of VirtueMart since coming to Joomla and just started the
conversion of everything over to DigiStore this evening. Tested it and
absolutely love the experience!!
Yes, I agree that it is a
little pricey - but then iJoomla's work is always well thought out,
tested and in my opinion worth the headache avoided with the competitor
product.
I look forward to the additional changes you will
offer, e.g, image management and yes, I wish you would run a promotion
for the Mambot so I can purchase it!!
"About an half hour after placing the order on iJoomla's Digistore for the Digistore extension package, we began installing it. Since it follows the same standard easy to use iJoomla trademark interface we had it set up within no time at all. Within less than an hour we had one category and the first product added and tested. My client was extremely amazed and pleased as to how smooth the process went, as I stepped him through the whole process."
"we implemented digistore with your ioncube encoder plugin a couple of weeks ago, we were using Phil Taylor's mosIPN and I wrote a component to migrate the customers anyway... it's been a great success in fact for the first time this morning my support person has actually said they have nothing to do... This is a good sign that our support overhead is lower. And some of this is down to your product... Great product and great work! "
"I needed an e-commerce solution that was secure, free from bugs, required minimal customization, and was easy to use on the backend because the client would be taking over management of the store once the installation and initial setup was complete. As usual, iJoomla delivered!"
"iJoomla Digistore is a no-nonsense shopping cart.You can adjust a lot of things but doesn't have to search a whole day.
If tried a lot of carts and prefer iJoomla Digistore for its flexibility."
"I have built stores in oSC and prefer to use DigiStore. The store is easy to set-up and the integration to Joomla is clean. More complimentary payment options would be nice, but it is a clean way to create a modest store that is easy for a non-developer to utilize and maintain."
iJoomla DigiStore is a specialized Joomla solution that lets you create
a store for selling digital AND tangible products within minutes! If
you've got an email address, you can start selling and generating
revenue right away.
We designed iJoomla DigiStore to be as simple as possible. We want you
to start making money now, not in a week or two, after you've read the
manual and understood all the features. That's why DigiStore has
everything you need to set up an online store, and nothing you don't.
You won't find a huge list of sophisticated features you will never use
on iJoomla DigiStore - just the REALLY important features. However, if
you find that a feature you really need is missing, please suggest it.
If it makes sense and other people suggest it too, we'll see if we can
add it in future releases.
Maybe you shouldn't. We recommend that you give VirtueMart a try. If
you can make it work, great! Frankly, we've tried it... and found that
it's like trying to drive a 10-ton semi when all you really need is a
good bicycle. It's too clumsy, too difficult and far too time-consuming.
It's also free, which is nice, until you want some support. Then you'll
find that you get what you paid for. When you buy from iJoomla, we're
there for you! If you have any problem, just drop us a line and our
professional support team will be in touch.
No! All you need is email address so that you can receive PayPal
payments. You don't even need a PayPal account until people start
paying! Just enter your email address, and when you make your first
sale, you'll get an email from PayPal telling you that you've got money
and asking you to open an account.
These are special plugins for iJoomla DigiStore. With iJoomla Digistore package you get a
standard PayPal payment plugin FREE. You can also purchase many more plugins here. Available plugins:
There are two ways to upload your products to the store:
Browse for the product on your computer and upload it by clicking
the Upload button. This method has a size limit which depends on your
server's settings. In general though, it's only used for relatively
small files.
Upload with FTP to the media directory. You can upload very large files this way, including MP3 files.
Calculating taxes is never easy, but we've found a simple method that covers most of our users.
On the Settings page, you'll find a Tax tab which will let you
determine who needs to pay tax. That could be all customers, everyone
in your country, or everyone in your state/province. You can also enter
the tax rate and state whether it's a state tax or VAT.
When people register on your site, we offer them a comprehensive list
of countries and states/provinces that capture their location.
Configure your store's settings to calculate the correct tax.
iJoomla DigiStore makes calculating and charging shipping simple. You
can set shipping charges as a flat or variable rate, each determined by
the purchase price and the customer's location. And with built-in
links to USPS, UPS and FedEx shipping calculators, you'll be able to
quickly and easily determine accurate rates.
