I couldn’t get wp ecommerce to work with pay pal and downloadable digital products after several days of trying. Several other people had the problem as well.

Nice. Thanks for listing these out. Any thoughts on what’s the best plugin that integrates with PayPal?

As a follow-up, I had a great conversation with Authorize.Net, which offers a great CIM (and ARB) product to do everything we need, or so it appears. The trouble is, as far as I can tell, none of the WP shopping cart plugins worth a damn, like Cart66 or Shopp seem to support it. Who does support it or is there another WP shopping cart solution that works great for recurring payments, subscriptions, etc?

Hello:

We are building an e-commerce pet food site and we are in shopping cart hell right now; my God man . . . help.

We are looking for a WP shopping cart plug-in that provides online purchasers the option of conveniently establishing an automatic pet food delivery and automatic billing schedule, for instance every 30, 45, 60 days, etc, depending upon the schedule the purchaser establishes with us online. And we know that whatever schedule they establish, they will likely want to change it online at some point.

We also want purchasers to have the ability to create an account and save their contact info and purchasing preferences for easy reordering when they return to the site.

Can someone please prevent us from running with scissors here? We have been told that we need to use some membership or subscription program like Spreedly, which seems like overkill and something else to break down. Authorize.Net offers a slick CIM solution that might work nicely with Cart66. Can anyone recommend a solution that works? Many thanks.

Mike

I think I would use WP Ecommerce if it were a little bit less buggy. My biggest problem with it was getting it to show most recent products first. Also, the “Checkout” button was cut off, but I think I could have fixed that.

I bought ShopperPress and was disappointed with their customer service. Some chum named Ian is the only person on live chat and is never any help. Their site went down at least four or five times during my short membership. And Mark Fail the software’s creator is a real (explitive)! Still have all my emails from him. I think Mark Fail and Ian are the same people I really do. Yes their themes are very sleek looking but I definitely do not recommend buying this product. Save your money!

Hey Guys,

I am looking for a product catalog solution. The site I am building needs to display a range of products from a store, but it is just for viewing and info. Customers cannot actually buy anything.

I was hoping someone here might have a recommendation of a suitable plugin I could use for my pages? A gallery of some kind would be nice with a short description and then maybe full page for the actual product. I guess pretty much like a e-comm solution without the cart etc.

Thanks – Red

I wonder which of those plugins are using custom post types ? Which can be localized ?

Wp e-commerce is ok, albeit quite complicated to use. Personally, I prefer ShopperPress. It's certainly the best in its price range. I can use it as an affiliate store. An online shop, or even use it as a download store to sell music. It definitely gets my vote. Cheers.

None of the ones I have tried so far support Australian shipping rates based on weight and dimensions.
I have used virtuemart with Joomla and they allow you to customize your own shipping rates based on these variables
I emailed tribulant about their australian shipping module – waiting to hear back on that one.
I agree, Shopp looks crap, and they don’t have a free demo you can try.
Cart66 don’t seem to like Australians, I emailed support and they only want to support the USA and Canada

I think WordPresss eCommerce is getting better day by day and its Premium
upgrades are great.
WordPress eStore is also a Great Choice if you want to go for Premium. Yak
and eShop is one of my best Choice for Totally free WordPress Shopping Cart
Plugins. And I think you Should add a review about DukaPress too. They are
getting better day by day.

New kid on the block, checkout:

http://jigoshop.com

Free version available in a few weeks, built on WP3.0 framework, custom post types, attribute filtering, reviews, up sells, cross sells, one page checkout, it’s going to be great, we’re very excited!

Id like to vote for the wost plugin : Shopp

It lacks functionaloty, support is practically non existent, incomplete documentation, customer forum has literraly no participation.

If you get a problem, then Hell you’re on your own.
In short a pile of tosh!!.
