Five free plugins to turn WordPress into an e-commerce solution

1: Easy Digital Downloads

        Easy Digital Downloads, as the name implies, is the easiest way to offer digital downloads on your site. This can range from music to books to texts to videos—anything you need. What's best about this particular take on digital downloads is that it strips away all the useless features, so setting up purchase-able downloads is incredibly easy.

2: WP eCommerce

        WP eCommerce  is a great plug-in if you need to sell just about anything from anywhere. You can convert visitors into customers with the help of this beautiful (and fully customizable) online store. It allows you to edit both the HTML and the CSS, so you can create your store to perfectly fit your needs.

3: WooCommerce

        WooCommerce is one of the most widely used e-commerce plugins for WordPress, and with good reason. Not only does it turn WordPress into a powerful online store, it also offers tons of additional free plug-ins and themes.

4: iThemes Exchange

        iThemes Exchange  says it can help you sell your stuff in under five minutes. And it's right. This solution makes setting up your online store incredibly easy. With iThemes Exchange, you can sell digital downloads, physical products, and more. (Some of the "and more"—such as selling memberships—requires a fee.)

5: Cart66 Lite

        Cart66 Lite is a stripped-down version of Cart66 Professional. What has been stripped away? Mostly just the ability to accept credit cards and use SSL. So if you're okay with a PayPal-only e-commerce solution, Cart66 might be just right for you.
