[Hidden-tech] Web site template for wordpress / credit card processor

[Rich Roth]

We've had good luck with Woocommerce, one on our site for 
http://www.amherstarchery.com/

The only site we found it couldn't handle was for site with too many SKU 
combinations for artwork
on products -- the project is creating a fine art tarot deck (so 78 
images when done),
for products: 6-7 sizes and 3-4 colors, so even initially (22 images) 
one item can have 400-1000 combinations.

We ended up using openshop for the cart -- you can see it all at:
     http://www.diadelosmuertostarot.com/
and
     http://shop.diadelosmuertostarot.com/

The general site does use wordpress.
The issue with WooComm was how it's admin managed SKUs.  Newer plugins 
seem to have
addressed the issues and we might revisit using WooCoo for it.

Note: WooComm is now owned and supported by the same company that 
develops Wordpress.
