18,288 PointsSimple Wordpress shop for potential client
Hi all
I have a potential client who wants a simple website that she can keep updated herself and have a shop feature included to sell the things she makes. Now i know my way around Wordpress, I'm no expert but feel I could create her a basic site and I feel it could be the best way forward for her to self edit the site. However the shop thing is new to me. Can anyone recommend a easy Wordpress shop plugin, on theme? Free or premium I want to look at all possibilities. It needs to be fairly simple, for me to set up but mostly for the client to maintain. She wants to use simple paypal payement method. I have looked at woothemes ecommerce, has anyone used this? It looks very in depth but is it to much for what I need?
Any useful help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! Claire

Treehouse Guest TeacherWooCommerce for sure. We have a course coming out the first week in Nov that goes into depth on it, but it's not too hard to begin to setup and figure out yourself.
