Hey guys,
Backstory: helping a friend get a site up n running, told him that for a quick initial website we should use a publishing platform like Wordpress, as a solid portion of the website is geared towards blogging functionality. He also wants a store section, though.
So, as for the store, I honestly have yet to explore options on how to do this. I was wondering if anyone has messed with Wordpress's plugins/addons/whathaveyou to create such functionality, or if I should go out of the way to create my own custom page on the site to get 'er done (some kind of shopping cart JS library, perhaps?).
Basically, I want to create the barebones first, which is the following:
Future functionality that's preferred:

Basically, I want to create the barebones first, which is the following:
- Be able to let the site admin quickly and seamlessly add and remove products from the store page
- Have users purchase items
Future functionality that's preferred:
- User store accounts (saves shipping address, credit card info, shopping cart)
- Item stock (when site admin posts an item, tie an item stock # to it, if sold out, disable sales for it)
- Transactions (be able to handle sales transactions all by itself, without a third party such as Paypal ... this one is probably much trickier
