Do I need a Store Plugin Module like ECC for simple store actions?

I was looking at a plugin for the Drupal Store I am building based off of the Commerce Kickstart download to be able to work with my orders, but it seems like these modules do a lot more than I actually need it to do. I need to access and work with the orders/payments in a very simple fashion without automated input to Quickbooks.

Essentially what I need to do is:
1) Take and process all orders online.
2) Be able to view/edit a list of the orders.
3) Have an email automatically sent to the sales manager who will manually enter the data for the purchase into Quickbooks.
4) Confirmation email sent to customer.

Can these responsibilities be dealt with directly through the Drupal interface, or should I be looking into alternative plugins to help with these actions?

Hey eshell,

As far as I can see, your use-cases are all covered by a vanilla commerce kickstart installation.

Essentially what I need to do is:

1) Take and process all orders online.
--> what do you mean by "take and process"? you mean add products into a cart, and then checkout?

2) Be able to view/edit a list of the orders.
--> admin/store/orders contains an overview of all the orders in your store.

3) Have an email automatically sent to the sales manager who will manually enter the data for the purchase into Quickbooks.
--> you can use Rules module to send emails on various points in the sales-process.

4) Confirmation email sent to customer.
--> you can use Rules module to send emails on various points in the sales-process.

You don't need any extra contributed modules for these tasks.

greets,
Kim

Perfect! That is what I needed to know. By take and process, I mean just take orders via credit card, paypal, etc. My next question is, How can I generate test orders just to get to see how it will all render? Thanks!
