The above chart outlines a few of the most important features of each of the top three WordPress based e-commerce solutions: Market Theme, WP E-Commerce, and the iThemes Ecommerce Theme. Each system has its own advantages and disadvantages, so let's take a minute to compare Market to each of them and hopefully convince you that Market is the easiest and most feature packed solution available.
Reason 1 - Extremely easy to use:
For starters, the Market theme is extremely simple to use. Since Market is an all-inclusive theme, not just a plugin, there is no tedious technical integration required. Setup is a breeze, and should only take about 5 minutes. Once you're setup and ready to start adding products, Market's product entry forms make adding and editing product titles, descriptions, prices, options, and images a cinch.
If you can fill out a simple online form, you've got the skills necessary to add your own products. You don't need any web design or HTML coding knowledge. An average user will pick it up right away.
It's the total package.
Where else can you get such an easy shopping experience, powerful backend product administration, and a professionally designed layout for only $55 dollars?
If you haven't explored our Online Demo yet, we encourage you to try it out. Play around with it a few minutes and you'll see how simple it is to use.
Reason 2 - Feature packed and Nothing held back:
The guys behind WP E-Commerce got a little upset with us for comparing Market with the free version of WP E-Commerce. The reason behind our comparison of the WP E-Commerce free version, is because the WP E-Commerce free version is the most popular solution out there. It draws in users with the free basic version download, but then only provides a limited set of features. No search, no multiple product images, no grid view option. These features are available, but they are for sale "a la carte" as upgrades -- not combined in a single package.
The strategy is to hook you with the "free" download, but to then upcharge you for each additional feature you need. In fact, you'd have to pay upwards of $90 for all of the separate components, in order to get close to the features that Market comes with standard.
With Market, nothing is held back. You don't have to pay extra for a search function, you don't have to pay extra for a grid layout, you don't have to pay extra for multiple product image capability. All you pay is a low one-time fee and you're good to go. Lifetime upgrades are included and new theme design variations and plugins will be constantly added to the download center - and you get them all for Free! We jam pack the download center with value, and hold nothing back.
Reason 3 - Access to a Vibrant Support Community:
Although email technical support is not available, your purchase includes access to our private members support forums which are monitored and responded to regularly. These forums are packed with useful information and tricks that will show you how to do just about anything. From install help, to customization techniques -- You'll quickly find answers to most all of your questions, and typically be up and running faster than email anyway.
Reason 4 - Not just a theme, not just a shopping cart:
Most importantly, Market is much more than just a shopping cart or a theme - it's an incredibly easy way to turn the free WordPress platform, into a fully functional and easy to operate online store to sell your goods.
Most designers would charge thousands for this type of custom project. Furthermore, your user license allows you to customize your Market theme install any way you wish. Go crazy and change everything, or just simply change the logo and be done with it. Whatever works for you, Market can make it happen.
You don't need to be any kind of technical genius to get Market setup to start bringing sales - Just download the theme, install a base version of WordPress, upload the Market theme to WordPress, enter your Paypal email address in the settings area, add a few products, and you're ready to let the sales start rolling in.
Don't hesitate. Download a copy and get your online store setup right now!
