Moreover I am using jQ, an awesome free theme for WordPress.

Settings WP e-Commerce>Shipping

WP e-Commerce has built in support for ShipWire which is an order fulfillment company for online vendors.

If you want to use fixed-price shipping options like “Pickup – $0, Overnight – $10, Same day – $20, etc.” you can download a WordPress plugin from plugins directory for Simple shipping. It will appear in the list as “Fixed rate”.

Organization and layout

WP e-Commerce has a number of features to assist with organizing and displaying of your merchandise. These include:

Easy integration with all WordPress themes

WP e-Commerce assumes your WordPress theme has a page.php, or a single.php or an index.php like any good WordPress theme should have.
Due to some limitations to the Custom Post Type system implemented by WordPress (for more information on this please read here) WP e-Commerce has an interesting job when rendering Products Pages. Infact most WP e-Commerce pages use two templates. One for the overall look of the site (The arrangements for Header, Sidebar, Content, Footer) and another for The Content section. You can find detail on WP e-Commerce Templates.

Detail: Payment Gateways we support / General Information.
