J2Commerce Joomla!® User Group is a virtual community for people who build and run online stores with Joomla!® and J2Commerce. We bring together freelancers, agencies, store owners, and developers who want a modern, open-source ecommerce stack—and a practical alternative to WooCommerce-centric workflows.

Our goal is to share real-world knowledge: catalog and product types, YOOtheme Pro storefronts, checkout and operations, and newer tools like AI assistants and MCP workflows for day-to-day store management. Meetings are welcoming whether you're launching your first shop or refining a production catalog.

We meet monthly on Zoom (1st Wednesday, 8:00 AM America/Chicago), with a kickoff on Wednesday, September 23, 2026. A typical session includes a short topic deep-dive, live demos or walkthroughs, and open Q&A. Sessions are free; register at https://j2commercejug.com/ to get meeting notifications.
