[wp-hackers] WordPress E-Commerce

[Andrew Bartel]

Wow, thanks for the multitude of responses.

I should have been clearer, we've been using wpec, and I'm pretty over it.
 I've done a lot of extending/writing custom plugins while maintaining a

I'll check out both Shopp and woocommerce.

Thanks,

Andrew
