WordPress as an eCommerce Engine: Cambridge Wordpress meetup

One reason for Wordpress's popularity is the eCommerce engine. Businesses can take and fulfill orders at a fraction of a brick and mortar outlet's costs.

The range of plugins for creating an online shop can be confusing. False starts are common.

Chris Butterworth will cover the key issues you should consider before creating your shop, plus some popular eCommerce plugins. If you have ever considered setting up an eCommerce engine using WordPress then this meetup is for you.
