I experimented with several just recently, namely: - WP e-commerce - Magento - Zencart - OScommerce - Shopp
By FAR shopp was the easiest and nicest (and no, I have no affiliation with them). Quick feedback on each: - WP e-commerce: horrible support and documentation, couldn't get something working and gave up - Zencart: lots of functionality and it does work, but the interface is fugly and you have to be willing to hack it some to get it to work - OScommerce: very similar experience to Zencart - Magento: "pretty" interface but you have to invest a lot in learning how to customize it using their template system. No simple CSS tweaks here (that I could find). - Shopp: plug and play for me... good docs and support I'm sure everyone has their favorite, and a lot of it comes down to what you're comfortable with. If I was willing to spend the time to learn Magento's way of doing things, I might become a Magento zealot... but when I can activate Shopp and tweak it with hardly any learning curve at all it's hard to pass up. Hope that helps.

Does anyone have advice on Wordpress ecommerce plugins? I checked through the archives of this list but couldn't find anything. I'm curious what experiences people have had, especially with hardening the app/server -- I've been on the wrong end of a WP hack before, and it was pretty ugly. Would rather not have that happen when people's $ $ are involved... :-) thanks in advance for any info, -TR --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Our Web site: http://www.RefreshAustin.org/ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Refresh Austin" group.
