Credo Trust was designed as a mini shopping cart site. It uses posts to collate the products and the NextGen gallery for images, as well as search-engine friendly plugins and the WP-GBCF form.

I created a plugin called QuickShop for this site which works by allowing you to put a tag in your post with the name of your product. This generates a form button called ‘Add to Cart’ which puts the product into the cart. I also created a sidebar widget for the plugin which shows the items currently in the cart. When the user is ready, all they need to do is go to the contact page or click on ‘Proceed to Checkout’. I made this link to the contact form where I integrated WP-GBCF, a contact form plugin for WordPress, into QuickShop. The contents of the cart are loaded into the body of the message with amounts allowing for the customer to easily edit everything, and upon sending the form the cart is cleared. This is fine as the client wishes to use direct debit only.
