WordPress is a very popular open-source content management system (CMS). As of September 2009, it was being used by 202 million websites worldwide. The main selling points for WordPress are usability, the plugin framework and the templating system. WordPress requires a plug-in in order to function as an e-commerce website. The most popular e-commerce plugin for WordPress is ‘WP e-Commerce’.

Following on from the release of their iPhone Virtual Terminal and iPhone iPay API, WorldNet TPS have released a plugin for WP e-Commerce. This plug-in allows developers to easily integrate WordPress powered WP e-Commerce websites with WorldNet Payment Gateway. This plug-in is good news for Irish web developers as they can now easily integrate client websites with the WorldNet Payment Gateway. At present WorldNet are the only Irish payment provider who provide Web Developers with an on-going share of net revenue for all clients they refer. This referral payment is paid on a regular basis for the life time of the clients relationship with WorldNet. Depending on the number of clients and their size this can turn into a good additional revenue stream for web developers. More details on the plug-in can be found over on the WorldNet website.
