THE place to buy ExpressionEngine Add-ons is now a CartThrob Convert. This ExpressionEngine site, created by Ryan Masuga, clearly marks itself as “devoted” to ExpressionEngine. So devoted, that it has now expanded its helpful knowledge bank of EE-related tips and tricks by selling EE add-ons using CartThrob. Not only is he selling add-ons using CartThrob, he’s actually selling CartThrob using CartThrob (of course we do that too).

CartThrob was used on the Regional Food Group website, which was already running EE + MultipleSiteManager and a multitude of extensions. The biggest hurdle was the multiple product types: events, paid membership and physical products all available through the checkout process, each with different forms, pricing, taxation, weights and permissions. Liam Crean of Embloc said of the process “We were really thankful that CartThrob creates custom fields on the fly - adding masses of fields by hand on the large membership forms we had to handle would have been soul destroying.”
What do you do with an MBA and a desire to avoid working for the man? Build a business on the internet, of course.

Vegetarian Wellness isn’t the first CartThrob based website, but it’s one of the best. Customer ordering history and an affiliate system are just a few of the fine features made possible with CartThrob and ExpressionEngine.
