Forgive me for not being clear. I'm looking for something to use in conjunction with an e-commerce plugin that may assist in the easy retrieval / export of data rather than having to manually update each item / price / stock level etc inside Wordpress (which I've found is what all of the e-commerce plugins I've looked at so far require me to do). I know that's not strictly what this plugin is designed for, but I'm just trying to explore every possibility before I rule Wordpress out completely... </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/oscommerce-replacement-site-query#post-37625 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 17:54:58 +0000 Carl Hancock 37625@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>It's really going to depend on your needs.</p> <p>Gravity Forms isn't a shopping cart plugin. It's a form builder plugin that has the ability to be used to create order forms.</p> <p>It's order form capabilities are strictly for order form style payments. There is no shopping cart so there is no concept of products pages and adding products to a cart and then checking out. It's strictly a form that may have pricing fields on it and can be used to capture a payment.</p> <p>So if you need shopping cart functionality, product page management, etc. you should probably look at an actual shopping cart plugin for WordPress.

I have a query before I purchase...</p> <p>I am currently looking into replacing a site that uses osCommerce with a Wordpress-based site. The current site updates live from the company's database (which exports it's data in an osCommerce-friendly manner) so that customers visiting the site may see exactly how many instances of a certain product are in stock (please message me for the current site link so you may see what I'm talking about, if you are able to assist).</p> <p>Essentially, I wish to know whether Gravity Forms are able to be customized sufficiently that they may replace this functionality and enable an easy transition to a Wordpress site. Perhaps someone has past experience of a similar integration?</p> <p>I 'think' that GF will be the answer to my problem, but I'd like to discuss it further before purchasing if possible.</p> <p>Thanks. </p>
