    I've tried a few of these for my apparel company and none of them are ideal, really. This is definitely an area where the wordpress plugin community is lacking. They simply can't compare to the functionality of a proper ecommerce solution.

    That said, GetShopped/WP e-commerce is probably your best bet. PHPpurchase is worth looking into too, depending on your needs.

    PHPurchase was bought by Cart66 and I'm using it on 2 sites and really like it because you can put the cart button on any post or page. If you have thousands of products, it would not be a good solution however.

    I also just started a new garden products site using the Clip Cart theme along with Cart66 and I'm excited about this combo. The theme uses product post types to build the product pages as posts which will allow you to feature them on the home page.

    I recently discovered a nice little WordPress plugin called Dukapress. You can use it both with normal products and with affiliate links. I found it easier to setup than other plugins I've tried.

    WP e-commerce is one of the most used out there in this space, and it has a lot more features than eShop. To say that this is merely a "plugin" in the conventional usage of the term is a disservice to this amazing WordPress-based e-commerce solution.

      The "best" is a highly subjective term. What's "best" for other may not be the "best" for you. As far as I know, there's no such thing as the best of this, the best of that. It all comes down to what you want to accomplish and find a solution that can help you achieve that with the most minimal fuss.

        In my opinion the "BEST" WordPress plugins period are from premium.wpmudev.org and that's not an affiliate link a REAL honest opinion. The eCommerce plugin they have is fully featured, and easily extendable.

    I have used two, and in my opinion both are really good. WP eStore is great for selling digital content like videos, music, PDFs, photos, etc. It has some good templates and it's pretty easy to configure.
    I am equally happy with Shopp, which seems to be getting better and better. The devs are very proactive with updates and implementing new features. I also like the Add-on integrations, which covers everything from PayPal Express integration to Postage calculators from AustPost, FedEx, etc.

    I personally prefer avoiding Wordpress for ecomm sites and would go down the Magneto Go route.

    I'd recommend Woocommerce for the plugin in Wordpress but why don't use Magento. It's more direct approach for ecommerce.

    I have seen most of internet users told about woocommerce
