We have already started building a part of the webshop but we are not feeling very motivated to go ahead because none of the sites have gone "live" i.e. have put in the last bit of finishing effort required to make this a complete site.
The website module in erpnext is now fully tested (we have been running erpnext.com on it for a year) and we urge people to go "live". From whatever feedback we have got, the sites look clean and impressive too. If you still have any nagging doubts, please let us know. Also the sites are fully search engine friendly and responsive to mobile and tablet browsers.
So before we continue further development, we would like at least 5 sites (other than erpnext.com) to go live i.e. make this your primary website. Then that will motivate us for further development on the webshop.

I think I would be also one of those who would be looking to get the webshop. I know, that I am guilty of the charge that I have not worked on my website but as you are aware my organization’s more pressing need is a new item coding system.
I am almost through with that and I am sure after this the next thing on my mind is the website to be up and running with erpnext and hence you can very well be assured that the 5 websites that you were looking for are almost there.
I fully agree with Olawale that people like me would take other matters as more pressing since we already have a website, no matter how pathetic the existing website is and no matter how much more duplicate work is to be done on existing website.I think the web shop would indeed increase the interest for more people since then the website would truly become a tool to reach out to customers rather than just a piece of information.

Dimeji,
Please also understand we are working on very limited resources and not only actively adding features but also maintaining, supporting, debugging, helping people on the forum, all as a part of our small team and we have never asked for money for upgrades or feature requests.
I would love to get the webshop out there as soon as possible, but we also need to finish the new production documentation, create an all new developer documentation, ensure releases are smooth, upgrade old reports etc.
I appreciate your enthusiasm in making the webshop module as quickly as possible. I just hope there are other users who are as enthusiastic. If they are, then now is the time to get themselves heard.
This is really disappointing to say the least. Hope deferred makes the heart sick.
I think I will just stop expecting the module and move on to other alternatives.

Wale,
Thanks again for your encouragement and trying out the feature. The benefit of using ERPNext over other tools is already that you get you do not have to duplicate the effort of publishing your item catalog.
Your sites are already pretty good - why not give them their own domain?
I am hoping to push a few more to start doing so it gives us more momentum, feedback. Btw that does not mean we are going to delay the module by a fair bit. I am also talking with a few other customers to make their website - If all goes well we should be up in a couple of months.
I trust you're doing great. First of all, I'd like to yet again express appreciation to you and your team for an excellent product.
Regarding websites, you need to appreciate the fact that there are lots of great website-publishing tools out there that have been around longer than ERPNext and which most webmasters are familiar and comfortable with. In fact, I dare say that most people already had a website up and running before they started using ERPNext for handling back-end administrative and financial operations.
The webshop however is an extremely compelling reason for any organisation that sells products and/or services online (and this is practically everyone and their mother) to move their primary website to ERPNext.
Imagine being able to sell your products online and have that immediately and automatically updated in your Accounts and Inventory! Order Placement becomes more appealing for the customer while Order Processing and Management becomes a breeze for the organisation! This is why we’ve been eagerly awaiting this for the last 2 years!
