I recently built a site with WordPress E-commerce system(which is built by WordPress and a templatic eshop template). It is much simpler and easier than Zencart and Magento in my opinion.
What is the advantage of this WordPress E-commerce system?
WordPress is so popular, so powerful and very easy to use, and this E-commerce system is totally compatible with WordPress plugins and extensions. It is armed with almost all Zencart features.
Here are some features:
*One Click Auto Install
*Usability
*Different modes of Shopping Cart
*Order Management
*Shipping Options
*Multiple Payment Gateways
*Manage Tax
*Grid view / List view
*Guest Checkout
*User registration
*Bulk Upload ( csv )
*Coupon codes
*Product Images
*Specify product size(s), color(s), and other miscellaneous features
*Blog
*Affiliate Module
Here I want to mention the affiliate module. Now affiliate is another effective Internet promotion method like SEO. As an admin, you may choose to activate affiliate program where your customers/others can sign up as an affiliate and start promoting your products. They can track their affiliate data in real time, and as an admin, you will be able to export/check affiliate reports easily. A great way to boost your sales.
Of course, Zencart and Magento are also powerful and even more powerful than this WordPress E-commerce system, while the advantage of this system lies in its simplicity and practical features.
In my site, I integrated livechat, bestseller, latest products and even translate box in the right menu. It also accepts most payment methods including PayPal and credit cards. With an army of WordPress plugins, it is easy to add any new feature to my site.
WordPress is one of the best search engine friendly software, and it is the very advantage that I definitely choose this WordPress ecommerce system.
