Radiant Shop
There isn't any store software out there which allows you to manage both the content and the design of products in a similar way that you would a page or blog post.
I believe this is a problem, most simple online Stores should try to be a website before they try to be an advanced application.
Radiant Shop doesn't require you to write server side code to build a store.
Instead you will use Radius tags, html, and css to build a custom store experience.
You're not limited to one design per category, or even per product. Nor are you forced into following a specific checkout process, or to use a certain Gateway.
An online store is just a website
