				What is the best wp plugin shopping cart to use with s2member or pro version?  I need to set up a cart that will be easy for my clients to add/remove product, description, photo, pricing but also handles inventory levels.  So if product x get below 5, as an example, the system shoots off an email to owner notifying them to replenish that product inventory.

				I don't know if it's the best, but I'm currently using eShop as a shopping cart solution.  We needed a lightweight cart solution; so far eShop is ok.  It handles inventory, digital downloads, and multiple payment gateways.  Pretty good.
As far as allowing members to add/remove products, the back-end interface isn't difficult, but if I allowed my members to add products (I don't), I would want to keep them on the front-end. For that I would use Gravity Forms with the Custom-Post-Type add-on.
The cons to eShop:  
-- I have concerns about the impact to site performance - will deal with that shortly
-- It is a little troublesome to customize the store display - I've created a custom post type for "store product" to work around this.
Also considered:
-- just using Gravity Forms with the PayPal addon -- it was a little basic for my needs
-- wp-ecommerce -- I haven't completely eliminated it as an option, but it feels like overkill.

				okay, thanks the comment.  I was told that Shopp was an option to consider.  Have you tried that one?

				Sorry, I haven't tried that one.  Heard it was good.
