Thank you for listing these. I am not a developer and am new to e-commerce, I am struggling a bit in understanding the language and finding the right word press shopping cart for me. Perhaps you could help steer me to a plug in for my needs?
I’m launching an online gallery for handcrafted one-of-a-kind furniture. The situation which is posing to be difficult to solve is that the artisans are international and the products are shipped from their studio and so each product will have a unique set of shipping options. Most plug ins I have come across will only support a static export address. I need something like on Etsy, where each artisan can list the shipping details specific to each piece. Do you know of any plug in I should be looking at?
Thank you for your time! xoxo

I want to try “WP e-Commerce” this plugin….
Hi, I am currently trying to make a website using worpress multisite, and i want a product catalog system which should display all the products and the ability for the visitors to review and rate them. I also want them to some how add the product to their accounts to show they use it or have bought it. Is there any plugin that does this? I am not actually selling any products. Just a consumer review type website like mouthshut or burrp. Also would like to know if there is any place from where i can get this catalog readymade…instead of me uploading all the products one by one…i know this is too much of a function but just want to know if there is any plugin or if its possible for me to integrate a few different ones to produce this result.
Your advice will be very beneficial for me. Thanks you.
i need one step checkout any plugin for it.
i need payment directly from my WordPress page not going through other website….

The one I found VERY Useful is WooCommerce

Is there a plugin that works like a product enquiry cart – instead of a shopping cart?
I don’t want customers to pay on my site. I want them to send me enquiries as each product is custom made.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
