No one said you need to use WordPress to have an Ecommerce platform. Build your own. Make it do what you want/need and cut out the bullshit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it do what you want/need and cut out the bullshit. If he was going to build his own why would he post on OSBot forums looking for advice... He obviously isn't so he needs a ready made platform......................... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) If you're going to use a platform use wordpress. Just buy an SEO/Speed optimized theme that works with woocommerce. Edited January 5, 2017 by RSJackpot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
