Ecommerce advice: Best choice for a low-tech client

  • I’m working with a client who wants to add ecommerce to their current WP site. I’m looking for advice on which options might be easiest for this low-tech client to manage on their own. They want to add products, change prices, edit descriptions, etc. Ease of use is paramount, any recommendations would be most helpful.

    After ease of use, I’m looking at:
    stability/quality
    cost (they’re a small shop getting their feed wet)
    pay options (need to take credit cards, not just paypal)

    I’ve heard a lot about woocommerce and assumed that would be my choice. However the more I read about it the more I’m doubting it.
    Thanks!

    If by ‘low-tech’ client you mean someone who is unable or unwilling to learn the technical tasks to administer their site day to day, the very easiest option would be to not use an e-commerce plugin at all and make simple PayPal buttons on pages for each product, handling the payment on a PayPal simple checkout. People can pay with a credit card at the PayPal checkout without a PayPal account.

    What have you read about woocommerce that makes you doubt this plugin? As far as I can see it delivers all you want.

    We are also a small shop (3500 products) and are moving from Joomla/eShop because WP + WooCommerce + Plugins appears to give us everything that we need/desire.
