Finally bloggers can start their very own eShop from their blog with the help of a simply but totally cool Plugin. It is called eShop Plugin and allows you to open your very own store (limited) right from your blog.
Bloggers who always wanted to sell their own ebooks, software or even PLR products can rejoice as this super cool Plugin utilizes PayPal. Look at all the things you can do with eShop:
- At present it accepts Paypal only
- Showcase 1 product per page
- A Product form will appear on the edit page
- Products can have multiple options
- Upload downloadable products
- Offers Basic Statistics
- Fully searchable
- 3 methods for calculating shipping charges, plus various zone settings via Country or US State
- Parent pages can list featured products, or sub product pages (just like categories with posts)
- Admin has access to an Order handling section
- Automatic emails on successful purchase, with option to send one from the admin order handling section.
- User configurable email templates.
- Configurable Out of Stock message.
- Basic Stock Control
- Automatic creation of required pages such as shopping cart and checkout
- and more!
With this stuff you can even sell all your household junk since you will be able to input shipping charges. Say goodbye to EBay (just kidding) and say hello to your very own eShop.
Ideas to use eShop for:
- sell your own jewellery
- sell your own craft related products
- sell your digital creations
- sell your wp designs
- sell second hand clothing
- sell garage sale stuff
- sell junk
- sell whatever you want to sell
I must admit that I am really tempted to give this a spin, I will just have to decide on which blog. The eShop Plugin should be compatible with the latest version of WordPress too.
Some earlier bugs have been fixed by now and your eShop should impress your visitors once you have installed and configured the Plugin.

Does someone know a site that is using the plugin so that i can have a look at the site. Also what if you don’t want a plugin that accepts only paypal on your site? Are there other plugins similar to these out there?
There are some live shops listed on their page…
