There currently is not.

It would be more difficult to build than the foxycart one as foxycart is an API whereas Magento is a CMS.

It would be great if someone wanted to build that but its not on the plans from our team.

no problem. If you were in the mood to build a system, magento seams to have an API:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/api/soap/introduction.html

Jamroom has a RESTful API:
http://www.proximacore.com/page/5/proxima-private-backend-as-a-service

Could be a good place to start.

Magento is a fairly robust and large system - is there specific functionality you're looking to bring in to Jamroom? Or are you looking to bring JR functionality into Magento?

Thanks!

There are many ways to do it,
we could for instance choose one way like joomla for exemple joomla (jamroom) will be the cms and magento a shopping cart extension to jamroom like virtumart would be.
There are several ways to do it.
I know there are also connectors ways, but I still haven't decided wich way is best,

Could you explain a little more about how you think Jamroom would work better/differently if it was connected to magento and magento was the shopping cart.

Jamroom currently does all the media delivery for the items and just uses foxycart for the connection to the payment gateways to accept the money.

This video was made a while ago, but it explains where foxycart fits in.
Jamroom 5 : Why Jamroom 5 uses FoxyCart

These are the payment gateways that magento supports:
http://go.magento.com/payment-gateways/

There looks to be 15 for magento. With Foxycart Jamroom supports over about 80 at current count.
https://wiki.foxycart.com/gateways/start

The only contender that I can see to foxycart is opencart ( http://www.opencart.com/ ) which has 20+ gateways and is open source/free.

I have a magento extension that has lots of payment getaways and other payment extensions as well, why would I need that many payment getaways? As long as I have the one I want to work with all will be ok with me. The magento you are talking about is "Go" and I don't use this one I use enterprise version.
As I said I am not a coder so I can't tell what option would be best, I still have to think about it and see wich one suits better jamroom

You would not need that many :) You only need 1. It's just that other people need different payment gateways.

So if we can build 1 thing that works and covers 80 options, then we don't need to go back later and build something else that only covers 20. Hence all the questions about what it is your after in requesting Magento.

Is there something Magento does that Foxycart/Jamroom doesn't? If 'Yes', what is it so we can just build that instead. Just trying to understand.

Well with magento I don't need to pay a third party ecommerce platform, with magento I have my own owned store with my own magento dropshipper extension where vendors can register and sell and ship at theire own and fully loaded like a real shopping cart ecommerce platform.

Magento covers most of all existing payment gateaways such as:

http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/official-computop-payment-module.html



http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/catalogsearch/result/?q=Computop-PayGate&pl=0

Foxycart/Jamroom is a waste of time and money, you don't own your own software, with magento you do and can extend it the ay you want it!

With magento you can keep all 100% profit of your sales wich you cant with Foxycart/Jamroom.

ah, you want it free. The price is the problem with Foxycart, understood.

As I understand it: Jamroom does something Magento doesn't, you want that functionality to be built into Magento.

Probably better to ask a Magento developer to develop whatever its missing for that system in that case.

Jamroom's been Open Source for over a year and so far nobody has built a free payment processor for the community. It might come along, but nobodys been so kind yet.

We don't have Ebay as a sponsor like Magento does.
