We area about a month away from a Beta release of our eCommerce system for Joomla. It will be called Jentla E and is a major rebuild and renaming of Freeway.

It will be called Jentla E and the version will be 1.6, to indicate the next version to where the old name would have proceeded.

So instead of tryingto use a simple eCommerce solution like VirtueMart, or one that is not fully integrated, like Magento, site builders will now have a powerful, native Joomla solution.

In terms of new features, the biggest update is a large donations extension. You can see this extension in use at www.missionaustralia.com.au This extension is quite mature and will make setting up powerful online donations programmes including eCards quite simple.

We are also aligning the templating and extension installationto become Joomla native but these will not be released in the first version. They will follow in the next couple of months.

We will be commercialising the application by selling extensions. The main Jentla E software will be free but there will be commercial extensions for payment processes and shipping etc. 

Here are a few early screenshots with the old Freeway branding:
