FAQ
What is iJoomla DigiStore?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. |
How advanced is iJoomla DigiStore?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. |
I can get VirtueMart Free, why should I pay for iJoomla DigiStore?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. |
What can I sell with iJoomla DigiStore?You can sell any number of physical products, such as: T-shirts and other clothing CDs Artwork Books Jewelry Collectibles Toys Electronics |
Do I need a merchant account to get started?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. |

You can set shipping charges as a flat or variable rate, each determined by the purchase price and the customer's location.

Testimonials
"Its user experience is the best""I just need something little but powerful joomla extension to take care of my store. virtuemart is really good one but it's so big to do some small ecommerce. iJoomla Digistore is suite my need. the downloadable product is better than virtuemart provided. it's very easy, what i love is payment gateway plugin, i also hired ijoomla staff for doing for paysbuy payment gateway for me. the price of the extension is reasonable also, upgrade free for life and the support is superb. what i like most from many of ijoomla digistore is the backend menu switching. its user experience is the best since i began to learn joomla 2 years ago, nothing comparable. Cheers, :D" werawat |
"...absolutely love the experience!!"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!! http://prescription4fitness.com |
"Yet another amazing Joomla! extension that makes online product sales a breeze""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." |
"my support person has actually said they have nothing to do""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!" webformatique.net |
"DigiStore has opened a whole new market...""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-nonsens shoppingcart.""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." |
"...a clean way to create a modest store that is easy for a non-developer to utilize and maintain.""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." |
