WordPress For eCommerce?

  • Hello,

    I have recently purchased / redesigned an ecommerce website. I am a wordpress developer and am interested if anyone has ecommerce + wordpress experience?

    Are there security issues I should be aware of?
    Should I utilize wordpress’ great CMS features but work with a shopping cart system?
    Would Magento or Shopify be a better solution?

  • There are 2 ecommerce plugins that I use and recommend. For ease of configuration and use – especially for downloadable products – I use WP eStore by Tips and Tricks HQ.

    For products with complex shipping requirements or for merchants in locations with complex tax requirements (such as California) I recommend Shopp. Shopp is a “developers” plugin. It was built to be customized. It is full of hooks, and filters that allow you to interact with all of its processes. It also has a simple templating method for the various elements (shopping cart, check out, product display) that easily survives upgrades. Its a great product.

    Try Cart66.
