About Simple e-Commerce for Wordpress
Simple e-Commerce utilizes the existing functionality and solid foundation of Wordpress to provide an extremely easy to use e-Commerce solution. The design of Simple e-Commerce looks much better, off-the-shelf, than most other e-Commerce solutions, and it focuses on your products better than any other e-Commerce design. Simple e-Commerce was designed to give anyone the ability to setup and manage an e-Commerce store using Wordpress. Basically, if you know how to use Wordpress, you already know how to use this e-Commerce theme.
The Simple e-Commerce Wordpress theme gives you the power of having a fully operational e-Commerce solution, customized website pages, and a fully functional blog, all in one theme. That means you can list your products, create web pages filled with information, and update your users with information, news, updates and more.
What’s more is that Simple e-Commerce will deliver news, updates, AND new product additions to your e-Commerce store via RSS feeds. This is exactly how a successful e-Commerce store should function. On today’s internet, getting information fast is absolutely essential, and for e-Commerce store owners, providing customers with instant information is an absolute necessity for your profitability. We understand today’s internet e-Commerce and have designed Simple e-Commerce to run next to the large e-Commerce websites.
Easy navigation and product availability on your website is also extremely important to today’s e-Commerce consumers. That is why Simple e-Commerce utilizes the core Wordpress search functionality to help your customers easily find the products they are looking for. Simple e-Commerce allows you to search by category, which most other Wordpress themes don’t offer. This means that e-Commerce consumers can easily visit your website and find the product they are looking for.

Adding Products to Simple e-Commerce
Adding products to Simple e-Commerce is the easiest part of this theme (unlike most e-Commerce solutions). Rather than jumping through hoops to add products to your website, the simple instructions will show you how to utilize existing Wordpress functionality to fill your Simple e-Commerce store with products.
There are some very slight differences, from normal Wordpress themes, that you need to adjust to in order to use Simple e-Commerce. These differences are explained in the simple instructions that come with Simple e-Commerce. The instructions will walk you through setting up Simple e-Commerce and adding products, descriptions, image galleries (using lightbox!), product pricing, and payment solutions. Don’t worry. This theme is extremely simple compared to other e-Commerce solutions you may be used to!
Payment Processing
Internet consumers today are accustom to sending secure payments through popular services like Google Checkout and PayPal. It’s a fact that over 75% of e-Commerce consumers are more likely to purchase products from online stores that use popular payment processing services that they trust.
It’s extremely difficult to gain trust from e-Commerce customers when offering your own payment processing through your website. Unless you are already established then forget it! On today’s internet, utilizing a popular payment processing solution will cost the same as creating your own (through a merchant bank account) and will increase your profitability by offering a trusted and recognized payment solution for your customers.
To succeed among today’s e-Commerce consumers you need to provide what they want most: security. To do this, you can offer a trusted and recognized payment processor like Google Checkout, or PayPal. Simple e-Commerce was designed to work with most popular payment processing solutions. If you can create a ‘Buy It Now’ or ‘Payment’ button with your payment processing provider than you can use Simple e-Commerce.
You payment processing provider will most likely offer some sort of payment button, along with collecting customer information, and offering a shopping cart. There’s no need to worry about integrating these things into your website. It will only slow down your server and take away from displaying your products quickly and efficiently. Let the payment processing experts do their job, so you can focus more on reaching your customers.
