Wordpress eCommerce, WP e-Commerce Developer

Very pleased to announce much success with a new Wordpress eCommerce plugin, WP e-Commerce. In development for a client, we found this e-commerce plugin script to be very highly configurable and the Wordpress shopping cart to be smooth and easy!

Offering a merge to PayPal for business or regular PayPal, the plugin offers an interactive shopping cart, product photos, product descriptions, the ability to easily place specials on the homepage, a way to keep track of stock as it gets sold, a full exportable sales log file, search engine friendly urls and categories and much, much more! See the WP e-Commerce site we’ve developed here.

  • When a customer puts items in their shopping cart and then goes to checkout, the shipping charge is not always adding on to their total. I have both the table rate and flat rate shipping modules set up, and the shipping charges are calculating/being stated correctly at checkout, but they are just not being added on to the total.
    Ex. With a subtotal of $40.00, and customer selects table rate charge (which lists at $8.00), the tax is $3.50, and the total cost is coming up as $43.50 instead of $51.50.

    I am having another issue as well during the occasional chance the shipping actually does work.
    I use Authorize.net as my payment gateway. When a customer submits their order (with shipping charge actually added on to their total), Authorize.net is not calculating the shipping in the Total Amount, so the amount processed on a customer's credit card is the total less the shipping charge. The receipt that a customer receives via email from me shows a different amount than the receipt received by Authorize.net. I called Authorize.net and they say it is a shopping cart problem (an error with the code maybe?) where somehow the...

  • My experiences:
    WP-ecommerce = I just couldn't get it to work. I couldn't get the products to show up and after looking around and seeing all the complaints, I moved on, trying to avoid too many migraines.

    So I moved on to Shopp ($55) = My mistake thinking a paid plugin actually offered support. You get very little response from the forum and they are VERY slow to actually deliver the upgrades in releases they promise. According to their forum, they are promising all these great upgrades in version 1.1. I saw this offered around version 1.08...they are now on version 1.017 after a year. I gave up.

    eShop is free and pretty good, but you better be willing to live with products being posted on pages. Because as we're told over and over again on the forum, that's the way the plugin was originally designed to function. YEs, they have added the functionality to add products to POSTS...but wait a minute. Those shortcodes don't work so well for getting a gallery view of your products onto a PAGE. You can do it...but it ain't pretty. However, the guy over on their forums (sorry, all names have merged together at this...

PayPal Shopping Cart for Wordpress

Now installing this PayPal Shopping Cart for Wordpress was not without complication. There was some alteration necessary for clean, easy to use function. There is an active support forum for this, however, which made it easier. It is a nicer, easier way to approach using WP to sell products on the internet versus having to use custom fields and linking to a PayPal checkout for Wordpress.

  • I've found this plugin to be pretty solid, but have found an error or two I think should be resolved as I assume it would effect a lot of people using the plugin.

    I was using WordPress v2.8.6 and WP e-Commerce plugin v3.7.5.1. I upgraded to WordPress v2.9.2 and WP e-Commerce plugin v3.7.5.3 in hope that the issues would be resolved - no such luck.

    I appreciate the fact that the developers of the WP e-Commerce plugin have put in much effort to get it to where it is now, and with the community's help we can make it even better :)

    So here's my scenario:

    1. You're in the shop within the website, you select the product you want to purchase, and proceed to the checkout. (Keeping in mind this product is one of a kind, i.e. there's only one in stock.)
    2. You fill in all your appropriate details and select "PayPal" as the Payment Gateway, and click the "Make Purchase" button. (The PayPal Express Checkout is being used here, but should be beside the point.)
    3. You're redirected to the PayPal landing page where you can login with your according PayPal buyer account to continue, or you can choose to proceed without a PayPal account and...
