Is there any decent store module that has paypal intergration out there that goes good with ravennuke?

For digital goods there is the Digital Shop from nukecoder.com but I cannot think of any physical goods shops that are fully integrated and are still under active development.

CCart Pro worked fairly well, though, as Guardian says, it isn't in active development.

I have installed and experimented with zencart on a couple of sites. I'm still learning. It is not integrated but it installs similarly to the way RN does. You can even use the same database. It uses config files just about the same as RN. It has a snazzy installation routine. Customization of screens is easier and more powerful than RN.

As I write this I'm still experimenting but I'm thinking that just installing this alongside RN would be a good shop solution. I'm not sure what's gained by "integrating" per se -- just as (see other recent threads) I'm not sure what's gained by integrating Gallery or PHPBB. (Actually I know what's gained but I'm not sure it's worth it in terms of the cost in reliability and the problems that come with upgrades).

Zencart is free and, if you are familiar with RN type installations, you can probably have it downloaded and installed in an afternoon. Learning how to manage it takes a lot more time than that.

In that case, I would have a word with gotcha as the inclusion of a shipping address in his Digital Shop is only a matter of editing a template file - unless of course "it must be free" is one of your criteria in which case I think you'll just have to google and try as many as you can to find one that suits your needs.
