Hi warriors. Can anyone recommend a good eBook store script.

Preferably one for WordPress.

I want to offer digital download upon payment completion.
Want ability to add sidebar widgets/ads/optin form.

Hope to hear from you.

    You are asking absolutely unrelated questions... so, it is very difficult to give any meaningful answer.

    So, let's try to clarify it (for yourself, mainly!) what is it you want.

    When you say "ebook store" how many ebooks are we talking about? 10? 100? 1,000?

    And what is the "store" element in your plans? Info-product sellers [and an ebook is an info product] typically have a separate sales page (sales copy) for each and every book. How do you plan to go around this?

    What kind of payment processor do you plan to use? This is important because some solutions would exclude any WP-based sites...

    Just because you are vaguely familiar with WP, it doesn't mean that's the best solution for your planned business.

    Hi no I want a script for selling ebooks. Not an already established site full of ebooks. Although I know there are several like that. I know a bit about Wordpress been using it for years and heard there was a Wordpress plugin or something for selling ebooks on Wordpress. Anyone who's done this will know what I'm on about haha I want to start a site that sells recipe ebooks etc.

    Thanks

    Very little information to go on, but possibly WooCommerce would suit your purposes.

    Want ability to add sidebar widgets/ads/optin form.
    That's unrelated to ecommerce functionality. Any theme can handle an optin form or ads in the sidebar if you use a text widget and paste in the HTML code.

      I guess he meant that you don't know what to ask... A "store script" and being able to put ads in a sidebar have NOTHING to do with each other = meaning you are mixing royally unrelated topics.

      Those are NOT scripts - again, if you want to work with certain tools, like WP, learn the right terminology. Both examples in your post are WP powered sites using special themes. Not scripts - THEMES!
      There might be requirements for using plugins, too - but on the surface it is clear (just go to the sites, right-click and read the source code) they are WP sites using special themes.

    EDIT: I edit my whole post. I appreciate your help Istvan. Thanks for clearing that up for me. So do you know anything like that then?

    I was aware they run on wordpress but just wondered if anyone know of any good plugins or scripts or platforms or anything that could do it in an all in one solution.

    Much thanks.

      Did you look at the wp-ecommerce plugin? I've seen a couple of decent stores built with it.

      ElegantThemes(dot)com has a WP theme or 2 with ecommerce built in.
