I have been assigned to build a website with Umbraco. Basically, the features which I want for my site are
should be able to create the product
should be able to remove the product and
to check the product availability by country. For example, I have 5 products and 10 markets(10 countries). I want to check whether the product is available in Singapore Market or Thailand Market etc.
Are those features possible in Merchello? or Can someone recommend any ecommerce plugin for Umbraco?
No, there's no feature in Merchello that allows for this. You'l have to do some custom coding to get that to work.
I've built an ecommerce site using Merchello, well, we started out using Merchello But we quickly found out that Merchello didn't suit the Clients needs.
I also experineced Merchello to be a bottlekneck in our Solution, I don't know if anyone else feels this way too.
I found it slow, and error prone.
Fetching products were slow.
They also have feature where they connect umbraco members to merchello customers, this feature were bugged for me. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't.
I also had a hard time finding help using Merchello, I don't know how popular of a Umbraco Package it is though.
At the end of the day, Merchello has been more of a hinderance than a boon for the project I'm working on, sorry if this isn't the answer you were looking for...

I wouldn't recommend it
Hi Mathias,
Can you elaborate why Merchello is a bottlekneck in your Solution?
I'm trying to understand what it the best ecom to suit up with Umbraco.
Thanks,

Here's a thread I started last year regarding the Umbraco-Member / Merchello Customer feature, no replies...

I don't want you to be completely disencouraged to try Merchello, it might suit your needs better than it did mine!
Thanks for your feedback!
Thank you all for your responses. Can I ask one more question?
I am building a site using Umbraco and I need to upload json file somewhere in Umbraco and access it from front end.
Currently I am thinking to upload to the Media section. but the problem is I don't see any editing feature for json file in Umbraco.
Is there any way to be able to edit json file in the CMS directly?
Thanks again!
You'd be better off creating a new forum post, this last question you asked is very off-topic in this thread.
Hi, Thanks for your suggestion. I will create new forum post for the above question.
Thanks again
