WP EasyCart

WP EasyCart is the plugin developers need to transform the WordPress CMS/blogging engine into a fully-blown e-commerce tool.

The plugin comes in multiple licensing models, the premiere disadvantage of the free version being limited to only a 5 product catalog.

The other commercial licenses add various smaller features, but they remove this limitation.

Installation:

Unpack and upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.

Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
