Phoca Cart component development version 3.0.0 Alpha1 has been released.

What does Alpha1 mean:

• this version is designed for developers and testers
• the component is not ready yet, many features are missing, e.g.

   - payment methods
   - stock handling
   - deleting features in administration (completely deleting of items)
   - possible Xml or Pdf outputs
   - Order status handling
   - Emailing, etc.

• all features are developed from scratch (there can be a lot of possible problems)
• calculation should be thoroughly tested
• of course such version cannot be used on production site.

What is and what isn't Phoca Cart:

Phoca Cart is simple shopping cart solution for Joomla! 3 CMS. It is not robust e-commerce solution like VirtueMart is. If you are looking for robust e-commerce solution, you should use VirtueMart not PhocaCart (in addition, there is a long way to make Phoca Cart stable and ready).

Why has been released a not completed extension:

Shopping cart solution is really complicated system (for example calculation: inclusive VAT, exclusive VAT, fixed VAT value, percentage VAT value, discounts on all items, on selected items, on selected categories - fixed or percentage, shipping rules based on region, country, amount or weight values, shipping VAT, payments, etc. - all this in various combinations) so it needs to be heavily tested.

Phoca Cart project was started by Jan Pavelka in 2013.

If you find any bug or you have some feature request idea, please post a topic to Phoca Forum. Thank you.

For now there are three modules:

• Phoca Cart Cart module - displaying a cart in module position
• Phoca Cart Currency module - displaying currency selector in module position
• Phoca Cart Compare module - displaying selected products to display them in comparison list.
