Here are some free WordPress eCommerce Plugins.

These plugins are available for free and can be found at the Plugin repository on WordPress.org.

Ecommerce plugins come in both free and paid versions. The jury is still out on whether or not the paid plugins are better. The best way to understand which solution is best for the blog owner is do a feature/product comparison table and determine which plugin best fits those needs.

Some of the features of this plugin include the ability to create products from posts or pages, configurable shipping, checkout widget, downloadable products multiple payment options, and ability to set promotions, among other features.

eShop – eShop offers customizable checkout, product options, downloadable products, multiple payment gateways, shipping options, automatic emails for purchasing and it’s compatible with WP affiliate for affiliate marketing. You are even given some inventory control as well.

Are Paypal – This plugin is more of a paid content type of plugin. Users of this plugin would use it to manage the payments of paid content on their blog. This plugin allows for subscription payments, bonus add-ons as well as standard one time access payments. What is nice is that google can search the hidden content so it can be indexed in the search engines.
