Hi Everyone

I'm working on an e-commerce site using wordpress and I'd like to know if anyone can reccomend a plug-in for the e-commerce side of things.

There seem to be a lot and I'm not sure which is the best to use.

The site is for baby gifts where there will be a few different categories, then we'd like to display the products in a grid.

Thanks

I'd recommend Ecwid. It's separate from Wordpress and not a plugin, however it integrates seamlessly. A plugin would be good, however out of all of the e-commerce plugins I've heard of or used myself, they've all been shockingly awful. I think the problem is that trying to make Wordpress work as an e-commerce platform is too much of a bastardization, it's never going to work great.

That's basically why I suggest Ecwid. I've been using it and it works flawlessly, it's a piece of cake to setup.

Thanks! I'll have a look at it now
