Cart66, the WordPress e-commerce plugin, is gaining popularity among theme designers. Because Cart66 works with any theme, it’s easy to implement a shopping cart on any WordPress website. You simply create your product and place it, via shortcode, on any page or post. Theme designers are taking Cart66 even further by incorporating features like custom post types and a rating system. Here are two themes built specifically for Cart66 which are especially nice.

Boutique

by ElegantThemes

Some of the features of this beautifully designed ecommerce theme by ElegantThemes are:

Unlimited color schemes

Boutique comes with various background textures and the ability to adjust the background color and font colors giving you an unlimited number of possibilities.

User and author ratings

Boutique allows both authors and consumers to rate each product in your collection, giving your visitors a great way to interact with your website and each other.

Dozens of fonts

Alternate blog layout

In addition to product pages, Boutique also allows you to run a separate, standard blog section that does not include product info.

We have been frantically working to release the Lite version of Cart66 to place in WordPress’s repo, and we’re happy to announce that Cart66 Lite, the WordPress E-Commerce Plugin, is here!

What is Cart66 Lite able to do?

Sell, sell, sell. Yep, that’s right. You will be able to sell anything from digital products to physical products to services. You have the same payment gateways as the Pro version too!

Gateways

PayPal Website Payments Standard
PayPal Express Checkout
Offline Payments

Durn, why would I want the Pro version then?

Good question. Simple answer: support, community, features, themes, recurring payment and subscriptions, membership access feature, Zendesk, Gravity Forms and iDevAffiliate integration, support forums, live shipping rates, sales reports and more!

O.k., that wasn’t a very simple answer, sorry.

Don’t worry though, you’ll still be able to tax by state or zip code, have promotions and have customizable email receipts. Some people don’t need the features of the Pro version. That’s o.k. and that’s why we want you to have the Lite version. Also, if you want to try out the plugin before you buy, then the Lite version is for you!

If you do decide to purchase the Pro version, we are so confident that you’ll love it that we will still back it up with a 60 Day 100% Money Back Guarantee, even if you’ve used the Lite version.

Checkout Cart66 Lite now and get selling!
