How to turn WP site into Ecom site?

[PEnterprises]

I have a couple of old wordpress sites that are old affiliate blogs. I currently sell products that are on amazon on these sites and sell quite a bit of volume. I have found a source and can afford the inventory to replace Amazon with my own product. So the dilema is how to turn these wordpress sites into ecommerce sites.

The thing I am worried most about is that each site gets about 100-200 visitors a day for great buying keywords. I obviously don't want to lose my rankings.

What are the options of turning a wordpress site into a store. I am not interested in plugins or some of the other solutions that make the store look very cheap and I would assume horribly convert.

If you have inner pages ranking for keywords how does that work? Do the post pages become product pages?

So to sum up I guess I am asking, what are the options that are of the higher quality that will also help me keep my rankings?

Thanks

When I was considering WP as a CMS I came across a few WP sites with very nice looking stores. The store integrated with the site very well and did not look cheap at all. It was a couple of months ago and I don't recall any of the store URLs but if I come across any of them again I'll try to share the address with you.

Perhaps you looked at a couple bad sites and concluded all WP stores look cheap. I would suggest taking a fresh look.
