Hey Ivo,
Since I haven’t seen it brought up yet, I thought I’d go ahead and ask.
J2Store closed up shop and archived their GitHub repository on Oct 14, 2024, just a couple of weeks ago. I only found out last night when I went to look up some information, which caused me some concern. Thankfully, however,
it has been forked with a promise of continuing to develop it and keeping it open-source from a couple of individuals from the Joomla community.
I know that, with a new group taking over, there will be some uncertainty surrounding the future of the project. I’d like to think these guys are serious about reviving it. I told J2Store they had one foot in the grave if they didn’t change things. They just weren’t handling things properly, were doing the least amount of work possible, and relying on others to push things forward.
In any case, I digress. Now, I have a huge favor to ask of those in the community here who have used J2Store. I need some Joomla 4 compatible extensions, specifically for Square and Stripe. I have two sites that use Square and one that uses Stripe. Is anyone willing to share these with me so I can proceed with upgrading these sites?
I had a Pro Developer subscription with J2Store for many years before they canceled everyone’s subscriptions and had purchased several of their extensions. I still have three sites on Joomla 3, and I’d like to upgrade them to Joomla 5. With the backwards compatibility plugin, any Joomla 4 compatible extension will work on Joomla 5. I was waiting for J2Store to release the Square and Stripe extensions, as well as getting the OK from my clients to move forward with the migrations. Now that J2Store has closed, I’d like to get a jump on things to find Joomla 4 compatible versions of these, and any other extensions, so we can have a collection for us as a community to use until the folks taking over at J2Commerce have time to build out the extensions.
Thank you all in advance for considering my request!
Kind regards,
Michael
