For my last project based on WordPress (I am bambu) I needed an integrated e-commerce solution.
After several evaluations of the different available solutions, I decided to use ShopPlugin.
ShopPlugin is a powerful WP module that add all the features needed to create an online store.
It supports both physical products as well as digital, like downloads.
You can customize its behavior using its hooks and control the look of every page creating your own template pages.
In my case, I had to write some custom PHP code to calculate the shipping costs based on the price list of the courier used.
I used ShopPlugin together with Thesis theme. They work together very well.
ShopPlugin supports several payment gateways and has also support for shipments tracking.
See its complete list of features.
If you are going to build a WP powered e-commerce website, I suggest you to take a look at ShopPlugin.
To use Shopp in Italian language, you can download my Italian strings translation here.

I am bambu is a new luxury brand created by Angela Maria Marchetti specialized in knitwear with the purpose to create an environmental sustainable business based on social principles : “I AM BAMBU’ strives to promote the payment of a fair wage to workers and to pay attention to the final client by making healthy, quality products, providing the very best in comfort and style with passion and love.”
She has chosen to use bamboo to create her products, because “bamboo is the most ecological reality among all the new eco-lifestyle products“.
You can read more about her philosophy at Concept page of her website.
I developed the website using WordPress and Thesis theme
The website is bi-lingual : Italian and English and it has also an integrated ecommerce where you can order her products. The ecommerce has been developed using the Shopp plugin.
There are some specific features, like comments synchronization between the Italian and English versions of the website and the detailed computation of the shipping and delivery costs that required some custom programming code.
