I try to keep up with the latest news going on with WordPress and all the new cool tools and Plugins available for WordPress. As you know I promote WordPress as the first and often the only system needed for a person to create their online business.

Last week a client asked about building a shopping cart into their new WordPress blog to add music and other artwork. So, I just “Googled” on the term WordPress Shopping Cart and found a great solution.

I downloaded the free e-Commerce Plugin from Instinct in New Zealand, installed it to my client’s new blog that is under construction and now I’m learning how to build a shopping cart using this new tool. That is, it’s a new tool to me. Instinct has been working on this for 3-4 years and they say that thousands of WordPress sites are using it. They further say that sites with just a few products up to 10,000 products can use their plugin.

Here are a few sample sites using this e-Commerce plugin for WordPess.

• www.seekanddestroyclothing.com
• www.orangutan-appeal.org.uk
• www.tabletalk.com
• www.imagecubes.com
• www.edenripley.co.nz

I hope to have some products added into my client’s new blog in the next few days as soon as I finish looking over the setup procedure and work with them to get a PayPal account running that we can link to. When the site is live I will update this posting with a link and let you know how the installation and configuration went.

In the meantime I wanted to post this and see what feedback my readers might have about this product. If you have used this e-Commerce plugin or other shopping cart plugins for WordPress please post your comments here.

If you are looking to create your own WordPress Blog and need a shopping cart solution that is easy to install and work with, let me know.
