WordPress sites can easily be made into e-Commerce sites with a theme and/or plugins.  Customized themes for e-Commerce sites offer a variety of options.  Businesses can choose basic sites with minimal changes to more sophisticated sites using themes developed specifically for e-Commerce, or you can work with a professional to design a custom site for your business.

Additionally, plugins offer several different features and can be customized for each situation.  Shopping carts, shipping options and payment gateways are some of the features available.
