Sorting out which eCommerce solution is right for me

[thestudiodoor]

I see a variety of commerce plug ins but having a difficult time to determine what the differences are and if they will suit my needs. I’d like to integrate an commerce merchant that works with the Modern tribe calendar but also for other non-calender items, such as membership or sales. Can you help me sort out which of your partners would be ideal?

It appears that WPEC and SHOPP might be my only choices but its hard to tell from the product info.

Julie 1/10/14 mentioned in a discussion, “we’re in the process of putting together a comparison chart of some sort to help make these decisions.” That would be of great assistance. Did this ever come together?

Hi there, Patric! Thanks for getting in touch. 🙂

Great question. The right eCommerce solution probably depends on (1) what features you’re looking for and (2) which would integrate the best with your business/site. The good news is that the Modern Tribe integrations for all of them (WooCommerce, WPEC and Shopp) are all the same as far as what they do: add ticket-selling functionality to single events. That means our plugins will integrate cleanly with any of the eCommerce solutions you are considering.

I think any of the plugins we integrate with would be ideal for ticket-selling capabilities. You could take any of them for a test drive and see which you prefer based on giving them a try. From there, our plugins can be integrated to extend the functionality to the calendar.

Here are the plugins we offer and their corresponding eCommerce plugin:

• <span style=”line-height: 13px;”>WooCommerce Tickets = WooCommerce</span>
• WPEC Tickets = WPEC
• Shopp Tickets = Shopp

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Okay, I’ll just test them out. I think a comparison chart would be awesome with so many choices, its hard to distinguish one from the other.

Totally agree! I’m bringing up the idea of a comparison chart with the team because I see how that would be handy.

Thanks for confirming the answer. I’m going to go ahead and close this thread but please feel free to hit us back up if any other questions pop up. 🙂

Thanks!
Geoff
