If you answered yes, WordPress can help.
Over the past few months, I have really begun to understand the power of the WordPress platform. While it has always been my top choice for blogging, I never quite grasped just how powerful it can be at creating other online properties, such as an e-commerce website.
Instead of trying to struggle with a clunky, hard to install and configure e-commerce solution, there are multiple WordPress based solutions which are simple and elegant. Instead of reading through a mountain of documentation, all you have to do is download a plugin, upload it to your plugins directory, activate it and choose the options that best fit your specific needs.
I’ve looked at quite a few different e-commerce plugins for WordPress, and while there are others available, the one I recommend is:
According to its home page, WP e-Commerce powers over sixty thousand websites, and it’s easy to understand why that is probably true. Whether you are selling twenty t-shirts or ten thousand DVDs, this plugin can handle your needs.
WP e-Commerce is an attractive solution that offers everything from an AJAX powered shopping cart to product feeds to social networking tools.
Installing WP e-Commerce couldn’t be easier, and once you have installed it, there are an endless amount of easy to use options you can tweak to get things exactly as you want them.
Here’s a site that uses WP e-Commerce to sell nature stock photography: Image Cubes.
Although the plugin is free, you can upgrade to Gold Status, which gives you even more functionality, as described here.
