I don’t have much time for television these days; it won’t be around much longer, at least not in the sense that it used to be. Not with the Internet’s power to choose content, eliminate the wait, and the commercials. When I did watch television, I always had two, three, sometimes four channels on the go, so I could quickly escape the corporate propaganda with a click. At least until the suits got smart and coordinated programs to commercial break at the same times. The point is, the vast choice and convenience of content availability is the beauty (and relief) of the Internet. In fact, publishers of content face even more of a challenge with all that is available in an increasingly demanding domain. We want choosing to be easy or we’re bouncing.

WordPress makes it easy for publishers and e-customers with its plugin architecture and templating system. WordPress is the most popular blog software and publishing platform in use today. Open source content management systems don’t get much easier than this, and the possibilities don’t end with blogs and articles. Plugin eShop and WordPress becomes the one stop e-commerce shop. eShop utilises WordPress pages, or posts, to create products and can list them in a variety of methods with multiple functional options. eShop offers various shipping options including by weight. It can upload downloadable products, keep basic statistics, including sales data, and administrators have access to an order handling section. eShop also sends automatic e-mails on successful purchases using configurable e-mail templates. Basic inventory control with built–in configurable out of stock messages keeps an eye on critical inventory levels so that you don’t have to. Various discount options may be offered, and WPMU customers can sign up to your site, with an uninstall option. Google base data creation is a great tool for setting up client libraries that enable easy analysis of target markets. eShop also comes with the merchant gateways to: Authorize.net, PayPal, Payson, eProcessingNetwork, Webtopay, iDEAL, and cash/cheque. eShop is also compatible with WP Affiliate for affiliates, and eShortcodes.

These are only the highlights of what WordPress and eShop can accomplish in tandem, all with a state-of-the-art user-friendly interface. WordPress and eShop are truly a dynamic duo, leading us into the future of business.
