YAK for WordPress

YAK is a shopping cart plugin for WordPress which associates products with weblog entries.

WARNING: After upgrading to version 3.3.2, if you use Google Checkout, or PayPal Pro, for processing your payments, or manually process your credit card payments, you will need to install these modules separately. Click to Add a new plugin, in the search dropdown select Tag and enter either "google-checkout", "paypal-pro" or "manualcc" in the text box.

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 (for manual credit card processing), basic Google Checkout integration, standard PayPal integration, PayPal Payments Pro, Authorize.net, Stripe and MiGS (Mastercard Internet Gateway Service, add-on only).

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 forums, or consider buying the Handbook.
