Cool Earth Online Store - Ecommerce addition to international rainforest charity

In 2007 altcom built Cool Earth's first website with a bestpoke e-commerce engine that  allowed the charity to let people sponsor 1/2 acre blocks of South American rainforest to help protect it from loggers and soya farmers.  In 2009, following a major re-design, a new shopping cart  system was required to handle both physical/shippable goods and virtual products like protected acres and a new addition, protected trees.

The website is built using the Joomla! content management system but to provide a substantial shopping cart element altcom chose to integrate the Magento e-commerce platform.
