@patrick, yes, I removed all of the default pages it created and built custom PHP classes to handle everything closer to MVC style. I skipped all of the wpsc functions.

Did you delete the default pages the plugin installs and just write all your own queries and functions?

I ended up hacking my own version together using the many wpsc functions, but yours is much, much slicker :P

@Rebecca, I found lots of bugs in the admin of the version we’re using and patched them.

@patrick, yes, all of the front-end code including the checkout process and payment processing is custom. The admin tool is still being used by the client to manage products and orders.

That’s impressive! Did you ditch pretty much all the wp-ecommerce code and write from scratch?

I’ve been working with a site the last few days using this plug-in and I’ve found it to be pretty limiting as well.

Victor, the plugin is WP e-Commerce. In our case, the plugin is only used so the client can manage the products. The front-end development, database queries and checkout process are all custom programming since I needed more flexibility.

Gorgeous site! I’m going to be building a small e-commerce site myself soon… Which WordPress plugin did you use for the shop and checkout functionality?

Thanks!
