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.

  • Forgot to mention... go have a look at the show case. There are a heap of sites up using the plugin and some of them are featured here:

    Also, I should clarify, was tired and in a hurry when I wrote the above post - when I said it is not perfect, I mean that it does what it does really well but there are more features that would be great to have. One is multi-currency which was a big thing for me and yay... they are working on that at the moment and should be done in a few weeks.

  • Currently attempting to help a client locate a shopping cart that can do the following:

    Reliable!!!

    Easily Updateable from a spreadsheet

    Downloadable sales in spreadsheet form – ideally in a format that can be imported by Quickbooks.

    With Multiple level categories, with the ability to put items in more than one category.

    With the ability to enter a html link to the manufacturer

    Works in US dollars – calculates tax

    Ability to limit access to those who will pick up their order.

    With the ability to turn off inventory control (we are currently doing “group” orders on a monthly basis)

    Ideally the cart doesn’t empty when they logout, so they can come back and continue shopping. This is a pet peeve of mine with many shopping carts.

    Ability to add required fields to the shopping cart – such as a field to indicate who will pick up their order if they are having a friend do it.

    Ability to email those who order – when order has arrived .

    Any recommendations and links to shopping carts will be welcomed. I have found carts that work with WP that do only partial of this and partial of that... but nothing that I could find that would do all of the...

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...
