[TYPO3-shop] ext:commerce is out!

[Andreas Stauder]

If you really want to see a cool Shopextension, to invest your time 
and/or money I suggest to take a look at kb_shop.

No manual but a video:
http://home.astrakan.hig.se/staffan/kb_shop/

In my eyes the handling of commerce is very hard to explain to 
customers. The concept of kb_shop is not only much more flexible. It's 
also easier to understand and better integrated in T3.

But theres a small disadvantage: basket/order-system yet.

Happy shopping ;)
