Building up a responsive Joomla template for e-commerce site can be a lot of work. Choosing the right shopping cart extension again can be a hard decision. So far we have been providing support for JoomShopping and Virtuemart extension in our Joomla templates. Recently more and more of our members were asking us to try MijoShop shopping cart extension for Joomla.
We were apprehensive about it and were expecting angry members commenting in the preview thread for not choosing from our regular shopping carts but to our surprise not a single criticism for the decision to try MijoShop. So we went ahead and even added whole new modules JA Mijoshop Product Accordion and JA MijoShop Product Slider to support Mijoshop and the template is as usual powered by all new T3 Framework Bootstrap 3 along with our favourite blogging tool EasyBlog. JA BookShop is responsive Joomla template and supports RTL language layouts for both Joomla 2.5 and Joomla 3.

Questions and Answers
Q: Can I still use JA Bookshop without a Mijoshop subscription?
A: Of course you can. The demo page would look like this without Mijoshop component and can be used as a portfolio site for product showcasing.
If you are not a fan of Mijoshop, you can still use JA Bookshop with other shopping cart component with more work of style and customization added. However, it is not recommended for any amateur.
Q: Why using Mijoshop but not other shopping cart components?
A: Not everyone drives the same car, we have supported JoomShopping and Virtuemart many times in our earlier templates but Mijoshop integration has been requested many times by our members and we also decided to step out of our comfort zone, our developers loved it too and feedback so far has been great. Don't be surprised if you see another mijoshop template coming up this year.
