WooCommerce is the best WordPress plugin to build a webshop with.
WooCommerce is e-commerce plugin from WooThemes and is free to use.
"Where's the catch?" I hear you thinking, but there isn't one. WooThemes makes money from the paid plugins and templates.
The plugin has now been downloaded over 2 million times. More than 10% of all webshops/web shops use WooCommerce. This means the plugin is now used more than Magento, Zen Cart and OpenCart.

When WooCommerce and when not?

WooCommerce once started as a plugin for WordPress. You will therefore always run WooCommerce within an existing WordPress installation.
WooCommerce is mostly used for small and medium-sized webshops. It is free to use, many tips & tricks can be found online and it is easy to maintain.
For large webshops with thousands of items and customers, it is not wise to use WooCommerce. This is because adding extensive functions through paid plugins can cost a lot of money.

Pay per transaction

For payments, we use the services of CardGate.
You only pay a one-off fee of around €75 for the plugin and installation, and then a fee per transaction.
This way, you keep the monthly costs well under control as a webshop owner!

With Milcraft, you already have a WordPress/WooCommerce webshop for €150 one-off!
