The product is very powerful but not user friendly and more than a little
obfuscated. If you're having trouble with one store you can imagine our
fun developing and hosting multiple sites at once.

The basic look created by Able Commerce is so ugly there
should be a law against it.
Agreed. Programmers who design web pages should be beat with ugly stick.
The default web look is so bad it is an obstacle to appreciating the
technical aspects. ie, you like ACB "in spite of" the ugliness.
Pardee,
I can't think of anything with the look and feel
of an Ablecommerce that you couldn't modify.
Finding where to modify them could be frustrating.
Ask how to do what you want on their forums, it will save frustration.

I am only about 4 months into Cold Fusion. Able is the first CF
store package for me to use. I have
been very frustrated with it's "Wizards" mostly due to a lack or
non-integration of help files.

Dear Jeff,
That's exactly the problem, find where to modify this stuff. They make it
so darn difficult that you get totally fed up with this program. Thanks for
the tip, will try right now.

Their documentation is weak. The product however, is very robust and
flexible.

And how come it is still so ugly after all these years? Surely someone must
have at least some level of taste back there.
That is the point I was making - it is a matter of opinion. Obviously ymmv.

I had the same dilemma a few months ago. AbleCommerce looked good, but a bit
intimidating on the back end, as far as customizing it. Plus we could not
afford to pay for the open source version.
I bitched to the list about the current crop of apps - I looked at CartEase,
CFWebStore, and

I think there is a great market opportunity for a CF shopping app solution
that is more object-oriented than the ones are available. What I would like
to see is a well documented application that doesn't
reely available code to write your
own.
Maybe its time to rethink that position.
