    If you think WordPress sucks, you're doing it wrong! WP is amazing, but like 303 said it's meant for a certain purpose, which is not necessarily eCommerce.

    With my clients that do desire eCommerce with all of the features of a modern CMS, I recommend to them a 2-part solution such as WP+Big Cartel, WP+PayPal or WP+Shopify.

    It's not a perfect solution, but I tell them that there is NO SUCH THING as a perfect solution. At some level you need to compromise.

    I'm sure there are other good alternatives out there, but since I'm not an eCommerce expert I do not offer them to my clients. In my experience eCommerce has always been a big pain, so I just try to avoid it when possible. Again that's just me though.

    • I agree. It's best to use WP with an outside solution for e-commerce. Less problematic.Jaline
    • Some clients will want the same look and feel though, so that's when you may have to look outside of WP.Jaline
    • Or just pass on the project cuz it'll be a massive headache. :)nocomply
    • My one mistake in the past year was not passing it on...Jaline
