What is WP e-Commerce

Your store is the source. Feedance makes it ad-ready.

WP e-Commerce (also known as WPEC) is one of the original e-commerce plugins for WordPress, first released back in 2007 by Instinct Entertainment, years before WooCommerce existed. It turned a standard WordPress site into an online store, adding a product catalog, shopping cart, digital downloads, and a range of payment gateway integrations directly inside WordPress.

Since WooCommerce launched in 2011, WP e-Commerce's popularity and development pace have declined considerably. Its most recent stable release is version 3.15.1, and its own WordPress.org listing was closed as of February 16, 2024 due to an unresolved security issue, meaning it can no longer be freshly installed from the official plugin directory. In practice, WP e-Commerce today is mostly found on older stores that never migrated away from it, rather than on new store builds.

If your store still runs on WP e-Commerce, you likely don't have access to the modern export tools and marketplace integrations that newer platforms ship with by default. Feedance fills that gap by turning your existing product catalog into properly structured feeds for marketplaces, ad channels, and comparison shopping engines, without requiring you to rebuild or migrate your store first.

Connecting WP e-Commerce to Feedance also removes the manual work of exporting CSVs, cleaning up fields, and re-uploading them every time your catalog, stock, or order data changes. Instead, your product and inventory information stays synced automatically, so the listings your customers see elsewhere reflect what's actually available in your store.

What data Feedance pulls

The core data feed management needs.

Feedance reads three groups of WP e-Commerce data. Each one has a job in the feed.

DataWhat is includedUsed for
ProductsReads product titles, descriptions, images, pricing, categories, and variations to build and update your feeds.Feed attributes, variant feeds, titles and categories for each channel
InventoryReads and syncs stock levels so quantities shown on your sales channels stay aligned with what's actually available in your store.Availability in every feed and Broken Size flags on size runs
OrdersReads order data and syncs relevant status and fulfillment information to keep stock and channel listings accurate after a sale.Sales and return context per product

Feedance does not access or store customer records, coupons, gift cards, shipping settings, or tax configuration — only product, inventory, and order data.

The plugin's official listing has been closed
WordPress.org closed WP e-Commerce as of February 16, 2024 over a security issue, so it's no longer available for new installs from the plugin directory. Only stores that already had it installed can continue running it.
Development has been largely dormant since around 2020
The last stable release, version 3.15.1, was tested only up to WordPress 5.5.20, so many active WP e-Commerce stores are likely running on older WordPress or PHP versions than a typical current site.
Minimum requirements are dated
The plugin's own listing states it requires WordPress 5.0 or higher and PHP 5.6 or higher — both well below current WordPress and PHP baselines, which can affect how a store's server is configured.
Its data model differs from WooCommerce
WP e-Commerce predates WooCommerce and organizes products, categories, and variations using its own structure, so it needs to be treated as its own platform rather than assumed to behave like a WooCommerce store.
Setup

Connect WP e-Commerce in five steps.

Feedance connects directly to your WP e-Commerce store using the store details and access credentials you provide during setup. There's no custom development required on your end — you authorize the connection once, and Feedance handles the ongoing communication with your store in the background.

Once connected, Feedance reads your product and inventory data to build and maintain your feeds, and it can sync relevant order and stock updates back to keep information consistent between your store and the channels you sell on. The connection runs on an ongoing basis, so changes you make in WP e-Commerce are picked up without you needing to manually re-export anything.

  1. 01
    Create or log into your Feedance account.
  2. 02
    Start a new platform connection and select WP e-Commerce from the list of supported platforms.
  3. 03
    Enter your store's URL and provide the access credentials Feedance requests to connect securely.
  4. 04
    Let Feedance run its initial sync, which pulls in your existing product, inventory, and order data.
  5. 05
    Review the synced data and confirm the connection to activate ongoing, automatic syncing.
Sync frequency

How often does your WP e-Commerce data sync?

Feedance syncs your WP e-Commerce data automatically on a regular, recurring basis so your feeds and channel listings stay current without manual exports. You can also trigger a manual sync whenever you need changes reflected right away, such as after a bulk price update or a restock. Exact sync timing can vary depending on your catalog size and plan.

Optimization tips

Get more from a WP e-Commerce feed.

  • Make sure every product has complete data in WP e-Commerce — titles, descriptions, images, and categories — since incomplete records make for weak feed listings.
  • Keep stock quantities updated promptly in WP e-Commerce so the inventory data Feedance syncs stays accurate on every channel.
  • Use consistent, unique SKUs across products and variations to avoid mismatched or duplicated listings.
  • Organize products into clear, logical categories that mirror how you want them grouped on the channels you sell through.
  • Periodically review your catalog for discontinued or outdated products, especially since WP e-Commerce itself is no longer actively developed and won't clean this up for you.
FAQ

Questions about the WP e-Commerce integration

Short answers to what teams ask before connecting a store.

How does Feedance connect to my WP e-Commerce store?

Feedance connects directly to your WP e-Commerce store using the store details and access credentials you provide when setting up the connection. Once connected, Feedance reads your product, inventory, and order data on an ongoing basis so your feeds and channel listings stay up to date without manual exports.

What's the most important thing to know about connecting WP e-Commerce to Feedance?

WP e-Commerce was closed on the official WordPress.org plugin directory on February 16, 2024 due to an unresolved security issue, and its development has been largely dormant since around 2020. This means only stores with an existing installation can use it going forward, and those stores are often running on older WordPress or PHP versions, which can occasionally need extra attention when setting up a connection.

What data can Feedance read and update in WP e-Commerce?

Feedance works with three types of data in WP e-Commerce: products, inventory, and orders. It reads your product catalog details and stock levels to build and update your feeds, and it syncs order and inventory changes so stock stays accurate across your sales channels. Feedance does not access customer records, coupons, or shipping and tax settings.

How do I keep my WP e-Commerce feed current?

Feedance keeps your feed current through automatic syncing on a regular schedule, so product, inventory, and order changes made in WP e-Commerce carry over without manual work. You can also trigger a manual sync at any time if you need updates reflected immediately, for example after a bulk price change or a restock.

Can I still connect a WP e-Commerce store to Feedance today?

Yes, as long as you already have WP e-Commerce installed and running on your site. Since the plugin was closed on WordPress.org, it can no longer be freshly installed from the plugin directory, but existing installations continue to work and can still be connected to Feedance for feed and inventory syncing.
