    A popular ecommerce module for Drupal 6 is [Übercart](http://drupal.org/project/ubercart/). – kapex Aug 16 '12 at 09:57
  • But Ubercart is not having as many e-com features like Commerce module.. I'll end up writing code for most of the features i want if i continue in Drupal 6 + Ubercart version – mjs Aug 16 '12 at 10:04

Short answer: It won't be backported to D6.

Drupal commerce is based (strongly dependent) on drupal 7 entity system. Is not possible to backport it to Drupal 6. It is not in commerce goals, either.

BTW: There is a Q+A site specially for drupal questions. Consider posting your Drupal related questions there.

Cheers.

  • Thanks .. will have to evaluate how much effort shall be required to Upgrade 6.14 to Version 7 – mjs Aug 16 '12 at 10:06
  • @mjs Moving to D7 is worth it. Consider checking the answer :) Thanks! – AlessMascherpa Aug 16 '12 at 10:14
  • was just waiting for some more thoughts before checking it :).. We are having kinda stable site with drupal + ubercart .. now we wanted some more e-com features hence looking at commerce module or something lyk magento or opencart .. just want to be clear with all the options in hand before making a major change – mjs Aug 16 '12 at 10:19
  • @mjs that is great. But the question is already answered on it's current incarnation. Consider editing it to include more options. Cheers. Regarding the rest of your comment consider that D7+Commerce is a great enhancement, but migrations are always tricky, also to other systems. – AlessMascherpa Aug 16 '12 at 10:28
  • but i guess support for drupal + commerce shall be less as it has just got out in the market .. – mjs Aug 16 '12 at 10:46
  • @mjs Drupal + Commerce is quite new, you're right, but growing quickly. Right now is the main choice for ecommerce with drupal and is builded on top of the power and flexibility of Drupal 7 entity system and views. Commerce guys and Acquia (two big Drupal shop companies) are giving support for commerce module. There are many more. Sure that you can find any close to you. There is many documentation and tutorials. I recommend you start with http://drupal.org/project/commerce_kickstart. A D7 distro. Good Luck! – AlessMascherpa Aug 16 '12 at 10:56
  • i have gone through the commerce kickstart .. i absolutely love the way checkout has been handled now .. thanks for your views – mjs Aug 16 '12 at 10:59
  • @mjs your are welcome. Glad to be of any help :) Check also http://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/drupal-commerce?sort=newest – AlessMascherpa Aug 16 '12 at 11:03
