Templatic just released Emporium, its best e-commerce theme so far with balanced features! Create your own online store easily in wordpress.

It transforms your WordPress install into a fully functional Ecommerce store complete with backend administration. Use wordpress to easily manage your store that sells Tangible or intangible/digital goods.

Here’s a quick list of some of the key features in our e-commerce themes. The features are balanced as we didn’t stuff every e-commerce features out there. Including only those that are must-haves for a well functional e-commerce store.

* Different modes of Shopping Cart: You may sell anything – tangible or intangible using our themes. You have an option to create your website in any mode.
o Shopping Cart: Like the standard shopping cart that you see on other e-commerce websites. You may choose to have “add to cart” mode and let the users add all the items they want and then lead them to checkout or, you can have “buy now” mode and take them straight to checkout when they select a product.
o Digital Shop: If you are selling digital product of any kind, this is a perfect option for you. Are you selling icons, digital art, PDF, e-books, scripts or any other kind of digital goodies? Select this option and when a user makes a purchase, they will have an account generated at your site and they can download their purchase any time. You don’t have to worry about third party digital delivery sites.
o Catalog mode: Maybe you only want to showcase your items and don’t want to sell it online. Simply choose this mode and you will have “send inquiry” button instead of buy now / add to cart. Visitors thus, can send an inquiry on the products they like.
* Manage Products: Add / Edit / Delete products are as easy as you create a wordpress blog post. You have a custom panel where-in you can edit the product description, different parameters, upload product images etc. real easy.
* Order Management: Depending upon the settings from your admin panel, you can manage the order – approve, process or cancel / reject an order.
* Shipping Options: As an admin, you can choose Free, Flat rate; Weight or Price based shipping option for your store. What’s more you can even set free shipping for particular items in case you’ve set other option for your store.
* Multiple Payment Gateways: You have PayPal, Autorize.net, 2CO, Google Checkout, WorldPay, bank transfer and Cash on Delivery as payment gateway options. Choose the gateway you prefer.
* Manage Tax: You may specify overall tax percentage that applies to all your products and, you may choose to leave individual products tax free
* Usability: One of the reason it took us long time to complete the backend of the e-commerce themes is, usability. We studied best practices of building e-commerce websites, studied lots of successful online stores and brainstormed some of the key pages and functionality that may impact the sales process that your customer goes through. We reduced the steps of the process, restructured the purchase experience, debated on the small elements such as button / text / colors / notifications etc., finally concluding our base e-commerce theme to be one of the very easy to use and best performing purchase experience so far.
