Just another Melbourne Magento newbie chiming in. Started using Magento… well, yesterday actually. It has quite a bit of potential from the couple installs that I have made since then. Having come over from the X-Cart community, I can say that the one thing X-Cart has had that has helped their application has been the community. This community is too new to account for much as yet, but that just takes time.
Saying that, I was always a bit annoyed at the use of php and e-commerce as it’s such a spaghetti code for anyone doing serious online work. We’ve had stores with over 200,000 skus and most php and mysql combos don’t cut it. Applications like “Elastic Path” are much more robust, but require a 30k license and average 100k for development. I trust that at least Magento can give us an Elastic Path look and feel without the high price and overhead. But, being still php and mysql based… it does leave something desired for the future and for larger applications.
I was wondering if there is AustraliaPost module, and BPay?
Not sure where to look - Migrating over from OSCommerce and ZenCart and finding the learning curve a little steep.
Thanks heaps.
Chris Norton has built a little gem of an extension for us Aussies.
Overview: Broad extension that provides essential functionality for Australian stores, including Australia Post shipping, direct deposit and BPAY payment methods and adds Australian regions and postcodes.
