YAK for WordPress

YAK for WordPress


YAK for WordPress is a shopping cart plugin for WordPress which associates products with weblog entries.

YAK is an open source shopping cart plugin for WordPress. It associates products with weblog entries (in other words, posts), so the post ID also becomes the product code. It supports both pages and posts as products, handles different types of product through categorisation, and provides customisable purchase options (cheque or deposit, basic credit card form, basic Google Checkout integration, standard PayPal integration, PayPal Payments Pro, and Authorize.net).


YAK for WordPress requires PHP5 to work correctly.
