What is the best WordPress plugin for e-commerce?

Hello everybody,

I am in desperate need of some advice because I need some information about choosing the right plugin for an e-commerce website. My friend is currently setting one up but we both don't know much about it. We checked out the WordPress's plugins section and there's so many to pick from... it's overwhelming. Many look really good such as: WooCommerce, EcWid, MarketPress, WP Commerce and more.

Therefore, I need help. What do you guys think? What is the best WordPress plugin for e-commerce? Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

Hey,

thank you very much for your great suggestions but can you give me some more detailed information? Which of these plugins have you tried out yourself and which is the best one? Why? What are the pros and cons of it?

Some people recommend WooCommerce, some the WP e-commerce, ... but nobody says why

It looks like you have gotten some great feedback on this thread. Since I don't do ecommerce with Wordpress, looking forward to everyone's ideas is going to be interesting for me. I think using a good Wordpress plug in is half the Ecommerce battle.

I use woocommerce for just over 1 year and I confess that this plugin really surprised me. I realize selling digital products and woocommerce meets me perfectly in all aspects.

With woocommerce I stopped opting for the Saas model e-commerce platforms and saved a lot of money when it came to creating my virtual store. Highly recommend!

Without any doubt, WooCommerce is the best plugin for the commerce. You can see that such plugins have some cost. That being said, if you can get payment gateway setup for low cost. Then surely it can be good plugin for making a good business on it's own. That's how I have managed to setup the e-commerce website for some of the clients. It's lot quicker to setup on WordPress.

The only ecommerce plugin that I have used is WooCommerce. I don't know about other plugins, however, I can recommend WooCommerce to anyone who wants an ecommerce plugins on wordpress site. WooCommerce will make your simple wordpresssite into an ecommerce store.

The best i have used is Jigoshop.
it allows you to set up your online store in a matter of minutes. Their interface is very user-friendly, which enables you to easily manage your store’s inventory. This plugin also offers a variety of reporting features, which includes sales and stock data, so you can get a real-time estimate on how your store is performing.There are also a variety of extensions and themes, to help you further customize your store and add additional functionality.

Prior to reading this thread, I had never heard about jigoshop. How do you compare this plugin with woocommerce? They say woocommerce is the best ecommerce plugin for wordpress and it is better to use wordpress with woocommerce rather than ecommerce CMS. I don't have any experience with other ecommerce CMS.
