E-Commerce Options for WordPress



WordPress plugins present solutions for whatever feature you may want to
build into your website. This includes shipping plugins if ever you want to
create your online store or integrate one into your WordPress site. But, as
with any plugin available in WordPress, there are numerous options to the
point that you won’t know where to begin. So, here are a few of the options
we’ve narrowed down that you could consider for your WordPress site:

WooCommerce
If you’re just going for a simple online store, WooCommerce might just be
the plugin for your site. The free basic plugin comes with SEO, store
management tools, marketing, shipping options, reports, promotions,
security features, coupons, and tax options. And, starting at $50, you can
avail of different extensions to enhance your online store with features like
subscriptions, PDF invoices, warranties, returns, and product documentation.

WP e-Commerce
Another free plugin that can help you create your WordPress online store is
WP e-Commerce. It can work for downloads, services, and physical products
alike. It has free shipping options, discounts, coupons, shipping rate
calculator, and customization as some of its features. You can add a few
features by upgrading to the pro version which lets you install add-ons that
you can buy for around $99 each.

Orilla Cart
Like WooCommerce, Orilla Cart goes for a simple approach in creating a
WordPress site online store. However, don’t mistake simple as lacking or
inadequate in features. Orilla Cart offers various features like WordPress
theme compatibility, PayPal support, various cash payments, offline orders,
digital products, and product variations. And the good news is that all of
these features are available to you for free.

Shopify Shipping
If you don’t want anything to do with CSS, code, or anything technical,
Shopify can provide everything you would ever need for an online store in
your WordPress site. Although the Shopify Shipping plugin is free, an
account costs at least $54 a month for your very own online store. In
addition, if you want the third-party shipping calculated rates feature, it
would cost you $107 per month.


Magento Courier Integration

If you have good technical expertise or have the money to hire someone
with that skill and expertise, Magento is a very good option for an online
store in your WordPress site. It is totally free and excels in being the most
customizable out of all the options available. Also, with this plugin, you can
provide your customers the best shipping rates available for their purchases.
