Ninja Shop – The Quickest Way to Start Selling

Ninja Shop is not currently under active development. If this changes in the future, this readme will be updated to reflect that.

Ninja Shop is a free eCommerce plugin that allows you to sell anything, quickly. Built to integrate seamlessly with WordPress, Ninja Shop is a simple and clean alternative to clunky eCommerce solutions.

While Ninja Shop is filled with extremely powerful features, you won’t be overwhelmed with complexity. Only enable what you need, and watch your products take center stage.

Sell Your Stuff Online in Under 5 Minutes

Ninja Shop makes it easy to get your store up and running quickly. Just install, activate, choose your payment methods, and start adding your products.

A Simple Interface

Your products are not blog posts, so we created an experience that makes creating products simpler and more intuitive.

Simple but Extendable

An online store can get pretty complicated, and not everyone needs the same things. With Ninja Shop, many features are split into add-ons. You only see what your store needs, making it simple to use and manage.

• Product Inventory – Set and track product inventories.
• Hidden Source Files for Digital Product Downloads – Use source file URLs from the WordPress media library or from Dropbox, Amazon, etc. and Ninja Shop automatically hides this source URL for digital product downloads.
• Download Expirations – Apply settings for download links to expire or to limit access to download links/file downloads.
• Simple Shipping – Adds flat rate and free shipping for your physical products.
• Simple Taxes – Collect US, Canadian, or EU Value Added Taxes.
• Customer Order Notes – Allow your customers to leave a note while placing an order.
• Terms of Service – Require your customers agree to your Terms of Service when purchasing your products.
• Product Categories and Tags – Organize your store by with categories and tags.
• Membership – Create as many memberships as you want with specific rules for what content your members can access. You can also use the Memberships add-on to delay (or drip) content access on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. (Coming Soon)

Sell Your Products Your Way

• Single or Multi-item Cart Options – Allow customers to purchase single products quickly or multiple products with one transaction.

• Admin Sales Notification Emails – Customize the email sent to admins for sales notifications.
