Hi Thomas,

The Store module do not allow you to export orders. You could create a separate module to do it or even better create some web services using IWeb from Michael Washington. By the way, you will be able to get orders and update orders status from another application.

Hi Thomas,

It's always the worst idea to read/write directly in tables. This is not related to the Store module nor even to DNN, it's because you don't control the developement. What if, for any reason, I change the something in the db structure? The better way is to use the business layer to get/set data. Normaly each module is build with three parts: the UI layer, the business layer and the data layer. By using the business layer you don't break rules and get/set data safely. Moreover, build a module with just an UI connected to an existing business layer is realy simple. This advice apply to any module, but of course you can do as you like.

The Store module have a powerfull template system and for more than one year is XHTML compliant. The default template can be modified easily, please read the Templating Guide available at Codeplex for details. Each common control uses default DNN CSS classes to be seamless integrated with your skin. Concerning options, I agree than the Store module is not the more complete e-commerce module but it's a good base to start. It depends of your needs.
