Gold Cart

[Bri]

Has anybody used the Gold Cart plugin for WP ecommerce? If so, is it any good/worth getting?

I have a number of sites running on the free version - other than multiple images the gold cart doesnt really do that much, however check the differencs and see if it is wort it too you - btw wp e-commerce is not the most stable peice if scripting I have ever used, if you you read the forum support is not the best either.
I am trialing a couple of other ones at the moment

I've used Cart66 (used to be called phpurchase) and I got it to work well for me after a little bit of hacking, although that was because I wanted what amounted to several different products on a single "order form" for event tickets. It does the job though and there's a free version available. The main difference with it is that it really only implements the product/inventory management and checkout/payment functions. How you define and structure the products is then entirely up to you - good for small numbers of products, but could be a lot of work for lots of them.

The premium version includes subscriptions and subscription-only content on your blog, which in some cases could be useful, depending on what you're using it for.

Thanks for the replies. Agree with what is said about wp ecommerce, although I have found it really good for uploading csv using another plugin. Don't think I'll bother with the gold cart plugin, not seen a decent review of it and no way of trying it out before purchase.

Thanks again

Hi there,

I have used the free version but never upgraded to to the paid version. Never had any problems with it.

I think you will just have to look at the options.

Paul I evaluated cart66 but found it quite intense, I really feel non-tech users will find this rather frightning and cumbersome, the logic just doesnt flow IMO
