    You can use any theme to sell products as it is not the theme that sets whether you can sell or not.

    I use the default theme twenty 10 for some of my sales sites and it works fine.

    It is mainly the plugin you use that adds the functionality more than the theme.

      I find that the default Twenty Ten WP theme works very well for a wide variety of purposes. It's amazingly versatile and quite customizable. If you're planning on selling many items on your website and are going to be constantly adding/changing items as well, I'd highly recommend using the WP e-commerce plugin that has shopping cart and many other functionalities like a built-in tax and shipping calculator, etc.

      Hi Quentin,

      Can I ask what plugin you're using on your science & tools site? I can see it is an Amazon store, but the second link you provide seems to refer to other plugins.

      Hope you can help.

      Many thanks,

      Myles

    If you look at my sig below you will see a link to my site. i took the WP STore theme and totally recoded it so that the cart functions were taken out but i can still post products and use the backend inventory for loading on Amazon and other other affiliate products. I did this because I couldnt find a wordpress theme with full ecommerce look without the cart but with the cart functions in the wordpress admin

      How technical is the coding to remove the shopping cart aspect but still keep the product listing like you have? That is what I have been looking for too...listing products in the format similar to yours but being able to link it to my own affiliate link instead of adding it to a shopping cart.

      Thanks,
      Pierre

    Trying to revist this post as I tried one of these (and stupid me cant remember which one) but it was very buggy so I left it alone. Well I need to start back up again.

    What I plan on doing is rebuilding my domain name site. It is where I will sell my domains that I own. Standard features are going to nee to be shopping cart, description field, categories listed, linked pages, etc.

    It will need to support html tags as well since 75% of the domains will be handled via escrow or another domain house for secure transactions and would like to take the visitors direct to the secure order page held with the 3rd party.

    I have a few templates in mind and I guess the plugin should be able to support any template I use but besides the plug ins listed above is there anyting new on the market that is free or very cheap?

    Thanx again
