 * I’m about to embark on a project for a client. They want a site with a blog, 
   editable pages, etc. I think WordPress would be a good fit for it, HOWEVER, the
   big wrench in the works is that they want a store for the site. These are my 
   options, as I see it:
 * 1. Use WP with a plug-in
    2. Use WP, integrate it with Zen Cart 3. Use WP, and
   a third-party store somewhat removed for the store
 * Am I missing anything? What have people done in the past?
 * I’m a complete e-Commerce newb, so I’d appreciate some suggestions.

 * definitely
    1. Use WP with a plug-in
 * this plugin is very popular and integrates well with your current theme

 * Do you have any experience with it? Any idea about security (ie. do I have to
   worry about it being hacked, more than any of the other options)?
 * It seems like that plug-in requires PayPal. Does it dump the buyer to PayPal 
   when they make a purchase, or is it more seamless?

 * I’ve set it up for several folks – security has not been a problem.
    It does 
   dump the buyer to paypal but I always set it up so when they are finished at 
   paypal they are redirected back to a certain page in the blog – like a “thank
   you” page or product page, etc.

 * Hmmm. That may be a deal breaker for my client, since they aim to have a very
   clean, professional face.
 * Any experience with the Shopp plug-in? That seems to be one of the other majors.
