Presentation:\u00a0WordPress and E-commerce: Navigating the Minefield<\/h3>\n

An overview of essential e-commerce concepts with some getting started tips for things to think about when setting up an e-commerce site. We’ll touch on payment gateways, how credit card processing really works, merchant accounts, SSL certificates, PCI compliance, basic WordPress security tips and a lighting review of popular e-commerce solutions for WordPress.<\/p>\n

What do you want people to learn from your presentation?<\/h3>\n

Understanding the challenges everyone faces launching an e-commerce project and being armed to face them head-on with WordPress tools.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What attracted you to WordPress in the first place?<\/h3>\n

WordPress is a platform of freedom. Freedom of expression, framework of development and an open community. Fundamentally, it promotes a better way of people using technology to connect with each other on their own terms without the ownership and control of yet another web service.<\/p>\n

What are you most looking forward to at WordCamp Toronto?<\/h3>\n

Meeting awesome people.<\/p>\n

Why did you decide to speak at WordCamp Toronto?<\/h3>\n

I was invited to speak on e-commerce with WordPress, a subject that gets more hate than love.<\/p>\n

What is your favourite theme or plugin, and why?<\/h3>\n

Shopp<\/a>, but I’m biased because I know all of the blood, sweat and tears that have gone into making it an amazing toolset.<\/p>\n
