WP eCommerce claims to be the original eCommerce plugin for WordPress. There are mixed feelings about the WP eCommerce plugin, some people say it is only for a handful of products, but I’ve seen sites with larger inventories. WP eCommerce has umpteen free and premium themes built using its code, and its seemingly infinite list of features, it really is an essential powerhouse of a plugin.
Payment Gateways Supported: Authorize.net, DPS, Chronopay, Paypal and more.
Price: The Free version is limited in terms of payment gateways and features. The Gold Cart version is $100.
