We decided to upgrade our websites from the ecommerce module to the new Ubercart 1.0 shopping cart.
Ubercart (http://www.ubercart.org) simplified the order taking process and has a very customizable checkout, shipping and tax settings. We were even able to charge GST tax on shipping! The one page checkout is great and calculated the shipping on the fly as you enter your shipping address. It will even automatically create an account for you so you can view your order status or print an invoice (or download a file).
As well, we decided to rid the site of the categories module which was under-utilized and problematic for other modules. Going back to the taxonomy module means simpler category control.
Sometimes it is best to drop problematic modules. With drupal there are always new modules in the works, or old ones being upgraded. Patience is a virtue in website development.

Could you share how?
Hi,
I am maintaining a shop based on ecommerce and I am considering to migrate to Ubercart. Do you still have the scripts or SQL you used to migrate? Would you care sharing your experience with me? It would save a lot of time when i don't need to reinvent the wheel.
