Moonbean Coffee sells its gourmet coffee thanks to the Jigoshow e-commerce plugin, which Kobayashi Online installed to provide simple and flexible product management. Jigoshop makes adding products nearly as easy as posting a WordPress blog entry. The site uses the powerful PayPal platform to securely process credit card and PayPal payments.
Online shoppers can get an instant shipping estimate for the products in their shopping cart. This is thanks to an integrated Canada Post plugin, which uses the product dimensions, weight, and destination to determine the cost of shipping.
