Best or Recommended Zen Cart Modules

Hi There,

I'm sure I have found something on this before.. a list of favorite modules or recommended modules for Zen Cart.

Someone point me to relating thread?

Thanks

Those threads come around every so often, but what is most striking about them is the extra-ordinarily wide range of "must-have" modules and the disagreement about what they are.

Since mods inhibit and raise the cost of upgrading, I'd strongly recommend that you use them only to solve actual problems or needs that you have on your site, and not because somebody else thinks they're a good idea.

Fair enough!

Any chance of Zencart software pages ranking module by popularity?

This way would give a general idea of add on's that the most users feel are required for their cart?

With the rant over ... here are a few that be of interest (and happily don't get out of control)

Not going to install all these Modules.. but was good to see what people are using and what can be helpful for my setup.

As Kuroi said... use modules if and when you need them. everyone's needs are unique.

I find a good solution is to create a test site for things like this, you can add as many as you like then, test what you like and what you feel might meet current and future customers needs based upon that experience.

As already sort of mentioned, I see a lot of sites that are way too clumsy and bogged down with unnecessary add-ons which not only slow down the page load time (the facebook add-on is a prime example), but just make it harder to navigate

The ultimate goal is to sell products, not to win awards for how many add-ons you can put on one site (or send them off to facebook where you have basically lost a sale whilst they update their mates on what they are having for lunch), a customer doesn't really care at the end of the day what you do, so long as they can enter the site, eaisly find what they want and make a purchase without having to learn just what you were thinking when designing the shop.
