hello
I personally believe many mandatory features for a generic e-commerce website (such as stock management, user registration, etc... ) and many of the features you're looking for just aren't adapted to a CMS that doesn't use a database, which is GetSimple main feature.
The kind of e-commerce plugin that might be useful would be for virtual products (or products not needing online stock management), and an external payment solution (the kind that just receive the total and user information) ; note also that those payment solutions APIs are a real pain, paypal's is purely horrid, that's far from getsimple philosophy (it's in the name !)
In short Getsimple for selling stuff online is good as long as you simply need a payment button and don't have a lot of stuff to sell. You can't beat the oscommerce, prestashop, woocommerce, etc... solutions without a proper database, but you can use a nice getsimple frontend and have a separate e-commerce part in your website, because all those "all in one" solutions are often too heavy.
