Ecommerce plugin

[frozenwaste]

Hi,

Can anyone (especially Studiopress mods or developers) recommend the best ecommerce plugin to use with the Studiopress themes?

Tried wp-ecommerce, had far to many problems to mention.

Now looking at Shopp or Cart66, will be selling physical products.

Thanks,

Peter.

I've never found one.
My solution was to use Magento for the store, and WordPress for the blog/article component.
It's easy enough to create matching themes, or edit existing themes to match.

I'd show you an example, but the recession nuked the last client I had (on that setup) in 2010.

Thanks kpmedia, I'm not very good at the technical side of things though so Magento looks a bit out of my league. My store will only sell about 100 products so hoping some users on here have had success with Shopp/Cart66 etc.

My experience with Shopp and Cart66 is still very minimal and hasn't been on StudioPress sites. But I've installed Shopp on a couple small (low traffic, well under 100 products) sites and played with Cart66 Lite on a test site.

I haven't modified my Shopp installations, pretty much "out of the box", but overall I've found it easy to use. Keep in mind my experience with Cart66 was the Lite version and only tested it briefly, but I thought Shopp's process of adding products was more intuitive.

I think Shopp is worth a try if you're looking for basic ecommerce and you could always try the free Cart66 Lite to compare.

Thanks, if Shopp is the easier of the two to implement that might be the deciding factor.

Do any Studiopress devs/mods have any experience of these two ecommerce solutions with our themes? Or maybe even eShop?

I have to say I would stay far away from Shopp.

I've used eShop before and heard many good things about its latest version.

I've heard good things about Cart66 as well.

I'm using 3 plugins made by the same author that work very smoothly together and am very happy with them. eCommerce, Membership plugin and Affiliate program. Easy to setup, add custom buttons, thumbnails and integrate with the leading autoresponders, aweber, mail chimp etc

Tried many others which just didn't work well. These 3 are simple, premium qaulity and easy to configure
