I am thinking of developing a shopping cart for WordPress. I know there are existing ones out there already, but I am interested in doing my own. Wondering if it is wise to store products as a custom post, and store product options, such as price, variations, etc, as post meta. I feel it is better to use WP tables rather then creating your own.
Anyone have any suggestions or concerns with the idea?
i’ve seen it done both ways. i suppose it really just comes down to personal preference. are you more comfortable with the EAV database design pattern, which is what wordpress uses, or a more standard and normalized structure.
