What add ons you include depends on what you want your store and admin to do. What to add it entirly up to you as you know your store. I would personally add an SEO contribution. I use headertags SEO as it does what i want it to. There are others which are commonly used. Search the add ons section to find what you want.

I use Ultimate SEO 2-2.2d for 2.3 because it is compatable with all my other contributions I use(see sig) and the catagory paths are especialy SEO friendly because you can coustomize the product urls so much i.e. append product catagory, filter out short words.
You should try Header Tags SEO V 3.0. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks promising. You would have to manually enter in the prouduct meta keywords and description and I would use it if you don't already have a load of products in your catalog.
Now a question: Does anyone know if the above two mentioned contributions are compatiable with each other, or will my shop implode from the "baking soda" and "vinegar".

Yes, they are fine together. Header Tags SEO is also helpful if you have lots of products, because of the auto-fill option there.

Do you guys know anymore good?
Here's the overview of the other 3 that I have. (All are for osc 2.3)
- Quantity Box on Product Info Page
http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7914
The name explains it all, it's a very simple edit.
- httpbl4osc Version 1.1.0
http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7786
Keep know and suspisious spammers of your website and away from your conntact us, write a review create an account, and any other pages of you chossing. I never got a smap message again from my reviews of conntact us page after I installed it. Never!
- QTpro for osc 2.3
http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7786
Quntity per product attribute. Takes some time to install it, but about a week ago I installed it. I then greatly updated and changed the instruction manual to make it much easier to install and uploaded it as a package. I didn't change the code altought I did point to area's where some people were having bugs. If you have a problem installing this, I might help you in the fourms. It is a very nice addon and contribution!
Another question: Does anyone know of any contributions for 2.3 that can be used to print the invoice or make a better invoice/packing slip, or something that can make it into a pdf?
Also, how benificial is ORDER TRACKING v3.0 for osCommerce v2.3.1 for those that have it?
Thanks, Luc

Hi and thanks for the tips.
I cant really decid if i will go for jack´s seo addons or fwr media.
Jack = Ultimate seo urls + Header Tags SEO
FWR = Ultimate Seo Urls 5 PRO + KissMT Dynamic SEO Meta & Canonical Header Tags
Which of them are really the best?
I cant so much about seo, and i dont think non of them is shit. But i want the best seo i can get, and ofcurse addons ho working with other addons.
About images.
In Oscommerce 2.2 many guys use "Additional Images" to have more then one image.
In 2.3 i know that i can use more then one. (i dont know how many), but is it any modul i should use for better thumbs or something?
Please fill in other good addons here too!
Thanks.
