@Ryanteck woo commerce on WordPress is really quite good.

Not found an affordable commerce only solution that is as flexible, although I'll be the first to admit it has quirks.

@Extelec @Ryanteck It's free. It doesn't come much more affordable than that. It's "fine", but limited unless you start REALLY messing about with it ;-)

@recantha @Ryanteck Which you can, its really well documented.

@Extelec @recantha I should maybe re-word it to be, the average person doesn't so then it gets left to people like us to fix the messes made ;)

@Ryanteck @recantha I have to make a living somehow :)

@Ryanteck the range of free e-commerce offerings is ... limited.

People also like familiarity. I wouldn't do it myself, but I do understand it.

@ahnlak The thing is that it's not that they're paying nothing though.

The amount of money some people invest into having a WP site put together is much more than if they just used something like Shopify to begin with.

@Ryanteck doesn't shopify start at like £25 a month before you do anything, though?

Ryanteck, 16 days ago

@ahnlak Looks about that, but if this is your businesses shopfront then £25 is fuck all.

Decent wordpress hosting isn't much cheaper, plus by the time you pay for whatever widgets and have 50 plugins conflicting with eachother how much money do you really save?

@Ryanteck well anyone adding 50 plugins to their WP deserves everything they get 😉
