Event Espresso looks great for the event registration functionality I am looking for. However, I am looking to also sell items in an online store. Can anyone recommend a WordPress E-commerce module that gets along well with Event Espresso?

Hello,
Currently Event Espresso does not integrate with e-commerce plugins out of the box. Some users have had success with either including products within ticket costs (e.g. an event has two tickets options, one for the event and one for the event + a product) or they have used something like Woocommerce and created events as products.
We understand that neither option is ideal, and we will no doubt be looking into this in the future, but we do not know when that will be, as our current focus is to get the next evolution of Event Espresso created.

Hi Dean,
Thanks for responding on this. I’m actually less concerned about integrating as making sure both plugins work on the same site separately, where you purchase event tickets in one area and shop at the store in another area, with totally separate checkout functionality.
I also think the first priority will be setting up a site that sells tickets and the store might be added in a later phase.
So I’m imagining it would be great to start with Event Espresso and then add WooCommerce at a later time, as long as there is no conflict between the two.

WooCommerce is great. There were some conflicts with our payment gateways but those were resolved a few versions back. We don’t go through testing each Event Espresso update against WooCommerce to see if there are conflicts, but we haven’t heard of anything conflicting recently in the support channels by the users who are using WooCommerce + Event Espresso. There is one exception where someone was trying to use the same WorldPay account for both and that was problematic because Worldpay only allows one payment response URL, but other payment options like PayPal work fine.
