Drupal Ecommerce in SA

Hi

     You can use both Ecommerce module and Ubercart module but if you are using

Ecommerce module you can't able to satisfy the customers its quite complex.Ubercart method is easy to implement and use. so try Ubercart module for your drupal site.

I have some experience in the south african ecommerce field. i use ubercart (http://drupal.org/project/ubercart) because it seems to be the most useful and offers the best support - there is also a drupal 6 beta which is looking really awesome. as for payment gatways there are 3 that i would look at paygate (http://www.paygate.co.za), mygate (http://www.mygate.co.za) and netcash (http://www.netcash.co.za) - they all have modules for ubercart and the integration is really simple, though there can be a lot of complexity surrounding banks as with paygate and mygate you would need your customer (or the company that is doing the selling) to sign up for a merchant account at one of the supported banks, ie: absa, nedbank, fnb, standard. at the moment paygate does not support fnb but they are working on the final stages of their integration and say that it will be up by early march. netcash as i understand them to be are basically their own bank so you do not need special bank accounts just an account with them.

that is basically all you would need to do, besides configuring ubercart for the south african market as it is heavily americanised, but it is all flexible and changes for mostly everything, from terminology to currency, can be changed through the admin interface.
