Can I create an Ecommerce website in wordpress?

Featured Replies

as the other three YES you can. possibly think of security issues that you may have before deploying it to the web though

Yes you can make ecommerce website in wordpress for example you can use wp e-commerce and Woocommerce plugin but as I know it is better to use a self hosted ecommerce application like Pinnacle cart yummy, zen cart, shopify and etc because they got lots of features and they are easy to handle with proffessional support so they will make a proffessional online shop for you with better security that is the most important thing to get your customers satsified.

If you have an eCommerce site then wordpress is best, not just because of free plugin, but also for google page ranking.

Just to be negative: don't forget that WP is the target of a massive amount of hackers. Domains are regularly tested by bots to learn what versions of WP are running, so that the second a major security hole is discovered.......

 

So if you're using it for e-commerce, keep your eyes open and keep everything updated - make sure you follow great security practices!

Sure you can, as long as you know how to customize WordPress theme, you only need a good theme to make an eCommerce site. And there are many free themes and premium themes in the WordPress.Org. So, it is not difficult to create an eCommerce site with WordPress

Like others, Yes you can create in wordpress if it is a small store. But for security reasons, I personally prefer to look in to some other platforms too which are available in the market with good response/feedbacks including, Os commerce, Opencart, Prestashop, Shopify, Zencart etc...

 

Anyways good luck! choose the best one...

Offcourse you can create ecommerce websites with wordpress. But if the site is a huge one I would suggest Magento.

No. Wordpress was built to make blogging easy. There are plugins to do it but they are plugins all the same.

 

Use Magento or Joomla or something with some more oopmh under the hood.

Do not use Joomla it's horrible to work with.

WordPress has evolved way beyond just being a blogging platform. We have built some big, high traffic multinational sites with WordPress, New York Times is a WP site. If you know what you're doing you don't need to use any plugins. Some of them however are very nice and speed up the development time such as Advanced Custom Fields, unfortunately there are a lot of bad plugins out there.

 

That said I don't think WordPress is the best platform for a shop. There are many options available Magento being one of the most popular but might be overkill for a basic store.

Hi,

Well i suggest you to go with WordPress. WordPress is very easy to use and has an intuitive interface.

WordPress is browser-based. You can login from any Internet connected computer and manage your site.

Also,WordPress is a self-contained system and does not require HTML editing software.

And most importantly search engine loves WordPress sites.

Considering WordPress hosting you can make your sites scalable.With WordPress, you have control of nearly every aspect of your site and can easily make those simple updates yourself.

All The Very Best ! :good:

Hello Friends,

 

I create an Ecommerce website in wordpress. So please suggests

me wordpress is suitable for this or not.

Please give your view.

 

 

WP e-commerce plugin is the answer, WP e-Commerce is the most well-liked, most robust e-commerce plugin for WordPress and is the perfect way to put up for sale products, downloads or services on the web.

 

Whether you are setting up a WordPress Web Store for yourself or are a WordPress developer setting up a E-store for a client, WP e-Commerce offers the most features and capabilities of any E-Store plugin.

I'd say Woocommerce is stronger on all those fronts than WP e-Commerce

 

And both of these pale in comparrison to a fully fledged ecommerce solution such as Magento.

Ofcourse,you can create any kind of website in wordpress including e-commerce sites also.

You can add the ecommerce functionality to WordPress with the help of plugin.

Plugins are separate pieces of software that you install and

activate into WordPress that basically adds to what it can do.

Mostly used plugin for E-commerce websites are:

Cart66 Lite

EShop Plugin

Jigoshop

But joomla is the best CMS for creating the E-commerce related sites.

Joomla isn't the best at anything. I'd advise against Joomla in any new build.
