WordPress as an e-commerce Platform

• WordPress is a Content Management System (CMS)
• that has hugely evolved since its launch back in
  2003.
• It was originally introduced as a blogging
  platform, but
• it has gradually turned into one of the most
  preferred
• and used CMS available on the PHP platform.
• Currently, WordPress is being used for every type
  of
• website starting from a blog (obviously), to a
  personal
• website to a company website to an e-commerce
• website. A lot of you might have not expected an
  e-
• commerce site being built on the WordPress
  platform,
• but trust us when we say that WordPress is a very
  good platform
• for it.

WordPress as an e-commerce Platform

• So, how do you build a versatile fully loaded

• First things first. There are a lot of great
  themes
• available online. All you have to do is browse
• through them and choose the one that fits your
• requirements and ideas the best. Alternatively,
• you can always go for a custom theme designed
• for you by your Web Designer. We would
• recommend that you opt for a Responsive Web
• Design so that your users have a great web
• experience through any device.

• Once you have chosen a ready-made theme or a
• custom theme for your website, the next step
• will be to define the functionality of your
• website. Then, you need to choose which
• shopping cart you want to go for. There are
• four major options available - WooCommerce,
• WP e-Commerce, Cart66 Lite and JigoShop.
  Although,
• WP e-Commerce is the most widely used shopping
  cart,
• we would recommend WooCommerce as our choice of
• Shopping Cart.

• Over and above the shopping cart plugin, there
• are also some very useful plugins that are
• available for WordPress that you can use for
• your e-commerce website based on what you
• need. You can use a good Table Rate Shipping
• plugin to calculate the shipping costs. These
• plugins usually allow you to customize your
• shipping cost calculations based on product
• value, weight or distance to your customer.

• Another plugin that we personally recommend
• is the Social Coupon plugin. By using this
  plugin, you
• can incentivize your customers who spread the
  word
• about your site on social media by sharing your
• website or product links. This can be a part of
  your
• marketing strategy.
• If you have a digital shop, wherein your customer
  
• should be able to download the product once they
• make the payment, PayPal File Download or Easy
• Digital Download plugins can be very useful.

• Last but not the least, you should not forget to
• integrate an SEO plugin for your e-commerce
  website
• too. This will enable you to have better control
  over
• your keywords, page titles, meta tags and
  descriptions.
• So, now that you know the basics of using
  WordPress
• as an effective e-commerce platform, go ahead and
  
• choose your WordPress Developer or Development
• Company.
