YAK is an open source shopping cart plugin for WordPress. It associates products with weblog entries (in other words, posts), so the post ID also becomes the product code. It supports both pages and posts as products, handles different types of product through categorisation, and provides customisable purchase options (cheque or deposit, basic credit card form, basic Google Checkout integration, standard PayPal integration, PayPal Payments Pro, and Authorize.net).

** NOTE: if you're using an older version of WordPress (i.e. less than version 3), the latest version of YAK you can safely use is 2.1.7 (click here to download). As of YAK version 2.2.0, the plugin is only being tested against WP3. **

Detailed installation and configuration instructions can be found by purchasing the YAK Handbook, but basic installation instructions can be found here. If you want to do something more advanced, post a message in the discussion group, or consider buying the Handbook.
