Heye

Got this friend of mine asking me to replace his html site with a new CMS solution to make some sales online.

He needs to be able to change items etc etc just like any other online shop.

He REALLY needs another payment option beside PayPal or CC: he needs the "send me through mail I'll pay later" option. (Sorry real sleepy here :p)

I recommended WP ECommerce plugin but can«t find the option he needs - just Paypal payments.

So any expert can advice a solution? A Ecommerce Script? Or a tweak to WP EC plugin?

Thanks for your time people!

    Ive been hearing very good things about a wordpress plugin called Shopp. Its newer than WP-ecommerce but apparently has nowhere near as many bugs, as well as greater payment options.

    Shopp — plugin ecommerce for wordpress

    Hope this helps.

    If you're going to have a store than I think you better get an ecommerce script.

    It's better to have a script that was specially design for your needs.

    Cheers,

    Mike G

    P.S

    I don't say that the Wordpress plugin is not good... But I know a few phenomenal ecommerce scripts.

      Please let me know some of the scripts. I need to digg deeper on this cause what seems easy to me it's going to be a pain for my friend.

    Another option is WordPress e-Commerce Plugin a WordPress Shopping Cart Plugin by Instinct | Instinct Entertainment - they have free and premium versions of their shopping cart.

    From their documentation:
    Manual Payments: Are for transactions not conducted online, such as the customer calling you with a credit card number or mailing you a check or money order. The manual payments blank is where you can place instructions for these kinds of transactions.
    So it does support offline payment methods if you choose.

    Just a quick update: trying out the ecommerce plugin from Instinct ^^ and after some tests I've managed to put the plugin to work as it should with Vanilla WP theme - a ecommerce theme btw.

    With some major skinning and CSS hacks we are getting there!!

      From WP E-Commerce site:

      Payment Gateways: The standard version of WP E-Commerce comes allows you to accept payment manually and via PayPal, Google Checkout, and Chronopay.
      So yes.

    I just used Shopperpress.com it is a shopping cart theme for wordpress and you can use this for free and you can also upgrade to their premium membership. So I am using this and chose Fastpsring as my merchant and who handles all the orders since I'm selling digital downloads.

    I also have tried the wp-ecommerce from Instinct which is also a good one.

      Looks nice, some minor issues with my FF browser but pretty neat script.
