WordPress for Ecommerce Templates

The intergration with Wordpress is releatively painless and fairly seemless.
I know very little about Wordpress and the inner workings of ECT and I was able to easily get it to work.

ECT is working GREAT... Thank you!!!!

The integration steps are very easy to follow and once done, you open the world of WordPress addons and themes plus the quality of ECT software all in one site.

I set up my own ECT store about 5 years ago using the generic template. I spent days tweaking the store's "look and feel" to match the rest of my existing website. I am happy with it now, but I dread the thought of updating the website appearance in the future.

I am now setting up an ECT store for a friend. His old e-store (by another company who shall remain nameless) looked jarringly different from the rest of his website, and I wanted to eliminate this problem. My friend has always used WordPress to manage the content and appearance of the rest of his website, so basing his new store on the ECT template for WordPress was the logical choice.

I am really happy with this decision. Right from the start, the store's appearance blended into his WordPress theme to create an almost seamless look-and-feel to the entire website. It has taken me only a few hours to tweak the store's CSS styles so the store pages blend in even better. That's just the perfectionist in me -- I would say most people, including my friend, would be pleased with the overall appearance of the website even without my tweaks.

Based on this experience, I have even entertained the thought of switching my own website and e-store to the WordPress model, given how easy it is to update the content and appearance of an entire website using WordPress.

Some people are asking whether the store admin in this template is integrated into the WordPress admin. The answer is "no" -- they are completely separate interfaces, and that is the correct thing to do. The management of website content and appearance, which is what the WordPress interface does so well, is a completely different process than managing customers and orders in an e-store.

If you are familiar with WordPress but new to ECT, relax -- you'll get the hang of the store administration quickly. The functions in the store admin are fairly easy to learn and use. If you are an old hand at managing an ECT store, you'll be instantly at home.

ECT has always been my shopping cart of choice. It is a complete system and easily to tweak (at least on PHP, I don't know ASP at all)

This integration is stunning. This allows web designers like myself to use two rock solid platforms, both of which have long histories of code maintenance and innovative development.

I am totally stoked about this, and probably will spend the next week reworking all my clients' websites to run WP and ECT.

I have been working with ECT for a very long time. I've been waiting for the team to integrate with WP as that is the platform we use for everything. Pairing ECT with WP gives the best of both worlds. A highly customizable shopping cart along with all that Wordpress has to offer, plugins, platform, and best of all Google loves WP anything.

The integration was simple and all of my questions were answered within minutes. I'm so glad I chose ECT such a long time ago. Working with WP just got easier for us when it comes to shopping cart integrations.

The setup was far simpler with the new system. I copied the files, was prompted to create the database and set the URL system and the site seems to be working already. I've got more to do of course but so far so good.

Ecommerce Templates and Wordpress works well together on my site: http://www.fattjoints.com. It took a few configuration tweaks but all and all has worked well.
