Online Shopping Carts Compatible with Wordpress

[Scotty71]

I'm looking for recommendations ...

We're rebuilding one of our websites and are looking to update a very basic shopping cart. We're not particularly looking for anything overly elaborate but rather something that is easy for the consumer to use and easy for us to control or amend. We'd like the option of drop down boxes for product options (size / colours etc) and the cart has to be compatible with a Wordpress CMS.

We'd hoped to build a shopping cart in WP but the quote from our agency is way beyond what we'd hoped so are looking for an off-the-shelf option that can hopefully be customised.

All help gratefully received!

Try Woocommerce.

Not exactly sure what you are after but should fit the bill.

Another vote for Woocommerce here, I have used it for a couple of sites and it has been perfect.

Yes...Woocommerce sounds like what you need

Woocommerce is the best option for you. I've used it for a while now. Easy to set up and customize. Don't know any better ones you could use. I would try it.

Woo commerce is good but boy does it have a lot of backend code. If you just want simple then google ecommerce or shopping plugins - there are many to choose from, try them out and find the one that suits you.

The one I built is super simple - weighs in a 6K as it only does what I needed. Woocommerce because it has all the bells and whistles can add quite a bit of server load.

I could go on and on including elegant themes, thesis etc.. But here are some things to consider.

• Woocommerce
• Getshopped
• Themeforest/woocommerce
• Genesis/Woocommerce

Highlightling what @fisicx he is spot on. They all have bloated code in the backend due to the one size fits all concept!

Woocommerce – Excellent standalone product with some fantastic extensions and payment gateway options. Just don’t go and bang a free theme on top of it!

Getshopped – Probably the biggest headache as far as Google product search implementation and updates. For this alone I would stay away.

Themeforest/Woocomerce – Great for anyone with no design or programming knowledge and brings the flexibility and extendibility of woocommerce. I have highlighted it in other posts I have made but it is important to create child themes when working on a themeforest custom CSS design due to the themes not being in the wordpress.org repository.

Genesis/Woocommerce – This option is great for any programmer that knows their way around the genesis framework. Great customisation ability and lightens up the bloated code (making it lightweight and faster) that @fisicx mentioned.

Hope this helps
Regards
Matt

WooCommerce seems very good, but as someone mentioned a lot of work in coding is done to get it correct.

If you are selling not many products, then depending on what payment method you wish to take, paypal button integration works quite good.

I regularly email special offers newsletters and have integrated PayPal buttons and works a treat.

For a small amount of products Cart66 works well. Very easy to implement too...

You are not going to find an easy option if you need to product options and things like filters. The code to do such things in the best manor is expensive and the setting can be more then enough to take it out of the world of "easy".

I would look at the open source version of cs-cart too. Wordpress might be suitable if you didn't want product options but rather then that I would look at whoever you use for payments and see what ready made code they offer.

Take a look at Romancart.
