WordPress Shopping Cart Theme — A Review

Needed:
Amazon feed driven customized e-commerce shopping cart software system,

Story:
I wanted to prepare a few affiliate sales for this Christmas in a very quick BUT still professional looking mode.

I decided to look for some products on Amazon, that I felt will have great sales during this season.

I needed a website that will take the Amazon feed and added the products to my own customized e-commerce shopping cart system.

Resources:
I found a few options; among them, the obvious Amazon’s aStore, but without any Google ‘LOVE’ built into it… I hoped to find something better and easier to build than my own html single product page websites.

Therefore I’ve chosen WordPress and happily went shopping around for themes or plugins to do the job. I needed a WordPress e-Commerce Theme or WordPress Plugin with Shopping Cart capabilities, but also with datafeed added products if possible.

Findings:
I stopped after reading a lot about this topic and decided to try two of the best looking WP shopping cart template themes, IMHO:

ShopperPress WP shopping cart theme

and

Market Theme WP shopping cart theme

for the moment, installing the first one.

I will keep you updated on my dealings with this and according to the time I’ve spent on it, I’ll write here my future findings.

Back to work now, my new ShopperPress Shopping Cart WordPress Theme is waiting to be installed…

But first I’ll go find a good new domain for my Amazon Store.
