WP Ecommerce Shopperpress?

I second this request, I'm very interested in finding a good, reliable and simple solution for a Wordpress-based eCommerce site

I am in the process of setting up an online shop with https://shopplugin.net
and am happy with it - my worker actually said it was the only one he would work with...
I have used others that have had a lot of bugs... so far so good
OBTW - plugins for functions - themes for appearance - I'd only use a theme for a function(like a cart) if there was no plugin to do the job

I have had some clients use it before, Not me personally, I heard that it is not the best system, I guess its all up to what you are trying to do, but if you are trying to scale large its not the best, however if you want to start here and then build customize your own platform after you know what features you need, would be good.

I need to get the ecommerce plugin because i am building my ecommerce website

I strongly urge against using Wordpress for ecommerce. Look into learning Magento for ecomm.

I do a ton of e commerce sites and the best one I found that actually has a plugin for WP and that is ecwid.com ( no affiliation) you can use most all major shipping carriers and has several credit card gateways pre configured,, the nice thing about this shopping cart is that it is free to use up to 100 items and to update the cart the user never has to go into the wp back end its all done in the cart and auto updated..

Its very easy to use and you can have a shop up in about 5 mins.

is there anything wrong with Volusion?

Hi !

Have you considered using PrestaShop ? They've come out with a lot more modules for improved functionality.

Google it.

I believe the basic script is free, but some of the modules do cost a bit.

I hope this helps.

I tried Volusion, Magento, Big Commerce, Shopify...

For what I wanted to do, Volusion gave me the best first impression. I don't have much experience any of them, but I found Volusion had a lot of great live support as well as videos and write ups that weren't too hard to follow.

I have tried Shopper Press before, but I couldn't see an easy way to add anything other than "LIST" options to the items I wanted to sell. The backend looks to be very robust and easy to use, though.

For simple things, I like Woo Commerce. Again, I have next to no experience with ECommerce, but it was a nice easy system to learn and use.

Here are the things I was looking for in an ecommerce solution:

- I wanted the ability to easily add customization fields where a shopper could fill in certain fields to customize the item.
- I wanted an easy way for customers to edit their orders
- I wanted the ability to customize follow up emails
- I wanted a clean backend so I could track orders and easily notify shoppers that an order had been shipped or completed
- I needed a way to cross-sell and up-sell

Fortunately, there are tons of free trials available online, so you can make the list of things you need, sign up for a trial and / or call their support to check the functions you need and whether or not they're willing to help you quickly set them up.

I hope that helps a bit.

It is very good, simple for small site..once it has tons of categories & products then you will have performance issue....but it is easy to setup & use..

I didn't even know wordpress could have ecommerce plugins. I would be interested in this too!

I think using proper ecommerce CMS like Magento or Zencart will do you better instead of using Wordpress since those CMS are actually built with the purpose of setting up ecommerce sites, the are more robust and offer you more features but then again those CMSes do require some amount of code editing and stuffs and if you are not good at that, you should use Wordpress and those ecommerce plugins. Wordpress is easy to handle. And I think Shoperpress is the best ecommerce plugin that I know of till now.
