Having tried to locate an easy to use PayPal shop template to use on my site and I came up with nothing, I
sat down and wrote a "Simple Shop" of my own.
Simple Shop v2.0 brings simple elegance and functionality all in one for your phpnuke site. If you always
wanted to start an online store or a place to showcase your products, then simple shop is perfect for you.

Communicate with Suppliers
SimpleShop provides a link between you the seller and your suppliers. Whenever an order comes in, you can send a precustomized email to your supplier with the information about the order and the supplier can say whether can supply or not. This response is fed back to you via email and also within the order console that the supplier can supply so you can click confirm to update the status of the order which the customer will see. No need to go copying and pasting product codes and pictures and sending it to suppliers and waiting for their email, its all built into the system by pressing one button.
