I would like to add recurring monthly membership fees to the WP E-Commerce plugin. Also I would like this plugin to give away a free gift/product on sign up with 10% off existing products. This one time sign up feature would also need to allow for a (one time?) free shipping on all products.
S2Member is a great plugin for membership. It will let you do things like Platinum, Gold and Silver membership levels even. You will need to create a custom function in order to give a free product on sign up, but that should be some fairly basic PHP work. eShop is probably the best plugin for ecommerce I know of. The answer really is that you will need a couple plugins plus some custom coding to get it working the way you want it.
I feel like this question is extremely general and a bit inappropriate for this section, but I'd suggest looking at various WP E-Commerce plugins that you can customize to get the functionality you need.
Try taking a look at this one, for example.

One of my partner has an OpenCart webshop (selling electronic products).
She wants to start some kind of affiliate program. So broadly the goal is: all of the products (with categories) can be integrated to another website. Other features should be accessable too, like product filtering, registration, cart, pay, so basically the full register-login-order process.
The budget is quite low, so I'm searching the fastest way to achieve this need.
If it's possible I don't want to install another instance of OpenCart, because flexibility and speed is important to my partner (and to the her potential partners).
Can someone give me a starting point? Some kind of module/extension maybe? I saw a tutorial video (OpenCart product feed), but if I understand it correctly it's 'just' a product feed, with this I cannot do product search/filter, buy from the base webshop etc..
Thank you.
Opencart has a built-in affiliate system that maybe useful.
Opencart also provides an API that you can use although you probably need to extend it so that it suits your needs.
I am creating a website which is going to be a normal e-commerce responsive website using WordPress.
I have a request from the client and I needed some clarification on the subject.
For 3 different clients who log in using their usernames and passwords they want all the commodity prices on the website to change.
To make it clearer:-
Price of a bottle of wine is $10 and this is on display to users who have not logged in. When a specific user logs in the price of same bottle of wine goes to $8 .The changes take place throughout the website for all the products.
I hope this makes sense. I have been using woocommerce but I haven't been able to find a plug-in that would let me do this. Is there a plugin or a way to do this. Please help.
There are many possible ways to do this, you can customize your woocommerce plugin and also use a plugin, I would chose to use a plugin.
There are many plugins that allows to change products' rates as per users' role. I would suggest you to use Woocommerce Role Pricing plugin.
I just began working on a Magento web store and we would like to add a feature to the Sweettooth rewards plugin.
We would like to reward a customer 2 points for a review on any product, but limit this to 10 reviews per month. I contacted Sweettooth support, and thay said they don't have a feature like this implemented yet, and that I would have to create it myself.
As I am fairly new to Magento and Sweettooth, I really don't have an idea of where to begin. Has anyone created a custom thing like this before? And how would I go about doing this?
Right, I am having a nightmare.
We have been using a service called Fat Free Cart (which has so far been rather good) to build our new eCommerce website.
http://www.fatfreecart.com/
http://www.designti.me/testing/flipstick/index.php
And we have come to the point where we are looking to add postage options.
To my knowledge you cant do this with Fat Free Cart (but if you can then any help would be appreciated)
Can anybody else recommend a cart that is as simple to set up and use as FatFreeCart?
I need to be able to just copy in a line of code where I need to put a buy or Cart button and I also need to be able to get a drop down box with different postage options.
It sounds like FatFreeCart is keeping it's promises, but your application needs more features that go beyond it's scope. I like this "spartan" e-shop very much. It is great for promotion of simple items in any site.
What you could do, would be to set up a "real" e-commerce application, since you are PHP oriented, like osCommerce, Magento or VirtuaMart. Virtuemart is an addon for Joomla. All three offer you a full range of features and a full back-office administrator application that will allow you to make offers, define discount periods and pricing according to criteria like number of items ordered etc.
Now, you can keep your nice website and link your products straight to the appropriate items of the eshop instead of adding FatFreeCart links. This way the user will proceed to complete the purchase.
The other option would be join the E-Junkie.com team and extend FatFreeCart to do what
you think is missing. You should be aware to keep it fat free after the add ons.
I just almost bought a Flipstick...
I am building a site using code igniter. I am developing a custom product catalog using php and mysql.
What is the best way to go about making those products purchaseable online. I thought about writing my own cart, but I am a little worried about how much time that would take.
Most carts I come across online are full fledge inventory systems carts / a whole web site basically. I want to be able to really have full control.
What do you think my better options are? Any advise is welcome!
Don't be afraid of building your own. A shopping cart is a solved problem and there are many, many examples on the net. Just define your requirements carefully before you start: do items in the cart persist between sessions? What happens when an item in cart is no longer available for sale, etc.
If you want to have full control but be able to customize how users have that control, building it yourself is probably the only way to go. Depending on the amount of control you wanted to have, it could be very time consuming.
Search for shopping cart systems online and you can find lists like:

Many have demos available that let you try before you download, and if you find something with all the features you want already, problem solved.
