The main reason why we chose to build DukaPress instead of using already existing platforms was because no other WordPress based e-commerce tool provides its users with what we feel are essential features of an e-commerce system. With DukaPress, we have made these features both free of charge and simple to use.
E-commerce Features
You can use DukaPress to sell:
- Tangible regular products
- Tangible products with selectable options (size, colour, etc)
- Digital products
E-commerce Modes
- Regular mode: sell digital and/or physical products just as normal
- Catalogue mode: just display goods without the option to sell them on your site. Instead viewers are presented with a way to contact the shop owner.
Other Features:
- Easy to implement ‘related’ products feature to encourage cross-seling and up-selling
- Supports ‘checkout as guest’
- One-page checkout
