HakShop open for beta testing….err…purchases
As you all know I’ve been struggling with a few e-commerce platforms. Eventually I settled on the Shopp plugin for WordPress. I really like how simple the system is. It’s just what I need (inventory management, weight rate shipping) and not what I don’t. Once I got past the first bug or two I really warmed up to it.
A big thanks to everyone who has offered their help setting this up and making recommendations. I still have zen-cart and oscommerce in the back of my mind if this doesn’t work out — but for now I’m giving this a go.
I’ve spent a few days getting intimately familiar with the code and hacking together the templates. I really like how well it integrates with the site. It’s not finished by any stretch of the imagination but I believe the core functionality is there.
I’m looking for feedback on the store. If you can offer any comments on usability, features, or otherwise please sound off in the comments. I’ll be continuing to add new stuff (user gallery, specifications, more products) as time goes on.
If all goes well over the next few days I’ll be sure to make a much better announcement for our grand opening. In the mean time, consider the HakShop open for beta testing.

The store looks great! Poor Sideways Monkey- I think deep down he really does want to love someone.
I love the photo for the Hak.5 t-shirt.

Always been a big fan of Cubecart. Alistair is a great programmer. V3 is still free and has tons of plugins/addons.
