We decided to build WPMerchant so that anyone can afford to start professionally selling products online; so that anyone can get the highest possible value at the lowest possible cost; so that anyone can start making money today, on their couch, by selling products/widgets/etc using WPMerchant. WPMerchant is the quickest, easiest, cheapest and most professional way to create an online store on WordPress. WPMerchant is the quickest, easiest, cheapest and most professional way to create an online store on WordPress. This plugin allows you to create an online store where you can sell Single Products or Product Bundles.18 We built WPMerchant so that anyone can use simple, effective and innovative one click checkout technology to sell their products online; so that your customers can have the quickest possible fully integrated purchase flow (they aren't redirected to another site); so that you don't have to pay $200, $300, $400, or $500+ per year to keep your premium extensions updated; AND, most importantly, so that anyone can start making money today by selling products/widgets/etc using WPMerchant. WPMerchant is the quickest, easiest and most effective way to create an online store that produces sales. 14 19 15 We pride ourselves on providing the easiest on-boarding experience of any e-commerce plugin. You can connect to Stripe or MailChimp using your credentials instead of searching for API Keys (leave that junk to us). 20 = Simple One Click Checkout for Customers = 21 Customers don't have to use the outdated flow of adding an item to a cart, viewing the cart, and then finally proceeding to checkout - geesh. We make our customer checkout process as simple as possible to give you a better chance at converting a lead into a sale! After clicking on your custom payment button, your customer can purchase a single product, multiple products or a product bundle. As such, your customers can check out much faster than on competing eCommerce plugins - which means the money gets into your pocket fast. 16 22 17 When a product is purchased, the customer is charged for that product and is automatically subscribed to the MailChimp list that you provide. We are using Stripe Checkout for this version but we offer additional versions that support custom Stripe Integration (as well as other payment processors and mailing list providers), the ability to sell Subscriptions, the creation of Membership sites and Marketplace sites, and much more. 23 Check out a working example of a WPMerchant powered site at [TemplateLauncher.com](http://www.templatelauncher.com/services).
