Thread: Shopping Cart + Blog | Anyone know one?

Looking for something similiar to Magento as far as capabilities, but something that I can run on a shared host.

Preferably free with an option to attach a blog somehow via plug-in or module, etc.

Any suggestions would be great!

Maybe you can try Prestashop
It´s a very good shopping cart.

There may be a suitable shopping cart WP plug-in so that you could do it all on one platform, but if not WP lives happily in a sub-directory and can be styled to look very similar to your shopping cart software. Joomla has a good plug-in ecosystem and probably has both cart and blog modules available.

WordPress for Bloggin and WP e-Commerce Shopping Cart are the tools you need,
incase you want to where to get them :P
WordPress › Download
WordPress › WP e-Commerce « WordPress Plugins

I was (and still am) running web-shop based on OsCommerce, this is full of bugs and security holes, avoid at all cost.

If you have a simple product and was happy with just using paypal, there is a paypal shopping cart plugin that works pretty good. I can't post links, but it will be the first result in Google for "paypal shopping cart wordpress"

If you want a, WordPress into a shopping site, look at some of the fully featured shopping cart plugins, such as eShop, Cart66, or Shopp.If you only want to sell a few items from a WordPress blog, consider such as Simple PayPal Shopping Cart or FatFreeCart
