Title: Your thoughts on WP E-Commerce?! Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Your thoughts on WP E-Commerce?! * [silverlulu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silverlulu/) * (@silverlulu) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/your-thoughts-on-wp-e-commerce/) * Hiya, * I am looking to get my teeth in to e-commerce websites cos let’s face it, that’s where they money is! 😆 * I have used foxycart and a few other things but I want to use a full e-commerce. I also really want to stick to wordpress as well as I am not ready to get involved in a new cms system as I am still intermediate with wordpress. * So really I am looking for an e-commerce solution in wordpress. step forward WP E-Commerce. * I have reviews on it although they seem to be from 2008 and Dan, the guy that is behind the plugin, seems to be taking all their issues on board and i think that the plugin has improved a lot in the last 2 years. there are also a lot of videos on it now which is definitely cool. * So I was really wondering what you guys thought? Any of you used it? Anyone have examples of sites they have worked on that use it? * I have installed it and I am psyching myself up to making my first store but I think I need the assurance from you guys that it’s a journey worth taking!! * Thanks! * silvers Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * [flamenco](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flamenco/) * (@flamenco) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/your-thoughts-on-wp-e-commerce/#post-1466998) * There are many articles strewn around the web about this type of question. You could Google “wordpress ecommerce reviews” or something like that. * Caveat, I have not fully implemented ecommerce with WP. But I’m curious, just like you, and I tested about 5 different WP apps for that. I was discouraged that I didn’t find anything that seemed rock-solid. It made me seriously consider getting a dedicated ecommerce system instead. * WP E-commerce is pretty nice, lots of features, but even in my brief testing, I found bugginess, unexpected results on screens, prompts that pretty clearly weren’t exhaustively tested for all conditions, and so on. To me, if something is a paid app, it had better be squashing those bugs very, very fast, and the thing should be rock solid. (as I recall, there is a free version, but paid add- ons, now that I think about it) I think they have great intentions, but they’re a bit flakey, and not as quick to repair things… at least that’s my impression. * Also, with something as sensitive as ecommerce, it seems like it would be very sensitive to WP’s own upgrades. That’s scary, the idea that a crucial security fix would crush my ecommerce, for instance. Likewise with Calendar and Event apps. * I have also tested Foxy in conjunction with MODx, and I was very impressed with that. Back when it was new, I found a very minor bug, and they fixed it the same day I told them. They have more of a sense of urgency, I think. Or maybe WP E- commerce has too many users and not enough coders. * Still, I bet others would say that it’s fantastic. 🙂 * [Rev.

But I don’t accept any personal info on my end, I just use paypal. * It took me a bit of work to get it well integrated on my site, since it pretty much uses a template overlayed on your template….it took me a while to get that custom template thing figured out to look good on my site. I haven’t used any of their paid features, I’m sure it would look better if I wasn’t cheap! * Thread Starter [silverlulu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silverlulu/) * (@silverlulu) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/your-thoughts-on-wp-e-commerce/#post-1467007) * thanks for your input guys. * i have now implemented it and i think it’s great. i can’t see why everyone (not you guys) are hating on it so badly. i definitely take your point about the fact that you don’t want a flakey e-commerce. but in my limited experience it seems excellent and the options and possibilities are very exciting. * i’ll see if this opinion changes with time but at the moment i would definitely be happy to use it on a client site and start stacking that money baby!!! * if anyone else would like to chime in i would really appreciate it!
