eCommerce platform for WordPress

About WooCommerce

Designed for small to large-scale online vendors, WooCommerce is an open-source eCommerce plugin for WordPress. The WooCommerce platform allows any WordPress user to set up a basic online store, completely free (additional plug-ins and customization modules are chargeable).

Users can sell anything from tangible items to music files to time and services. They can develop their own plugins to add new functionality to their online store or buy a pre-made plugin from the WooCommerce store.

Shipping cost and sales tax calculation for anywhere in the world is done automatically with WooCommerce. The WooCommerce store management interface allows users to manage their store on the go. Inventory updates and product management don't require any experience or knowledge of coding.


Key benefits of WooCommerce

  • Because WooCommerce is a self-hosted solution, you keep control of your own data and hold full ownership of all the information needed to run your online store.

  • WooCommerce has over 400 free and paid extensions for you to add to your store and increase its functionality.

  • Build your own databases for marketing campaigns and run 'coupon code' promotions through WooCommerce's integrations with a variety of extensions.

  • WooCommerce is built to integrate seamlessly with WordPress meaning users have access to the ever-growing WordPress ecosystem.

  • View incoming sales, reviews, stock levels and store performance from the backend, with WooCommerce reporting.

  • Integrate your store with MailChimp, Freshbooks, Xero, Amazon Web Services and more.

    I have tried various ecommerce platforms, but none of them compare to Woocommerce. Whenever I set up websites for clients, I always choose Woocommerce for their ecommerce needs. Based on my extensive experience testing popular ecommerce platforms, I can confidently say that Woocommerce is the best option. I highly recommend it, especially for beginners or users with limited technical ability. It is powerful, comprehensive, and works flawlessly. Throughout all my usage, I have never encountered any glitches or disappointments.

    Pros

    I love how reliable, easy-to-use, and beginner friendly it is - in particular for an experienced WordPress user.

    Cons

    It is a bit on the pricey side if you want to add any of their featured plugins.

    For simple ecommerce setups, WooCommerce is smooth and easy to use. Again, if you have any sort of custom (even conventional) shipping, coupons, or store setups, you're stuck paying for extras that add up pretty quickly.

    Pros

    For the most basic of ecommerce setups, you can't beat free for Woocommerce. It's made by the same people that make WordPress, so it integrates very smoothly.

    Cons

    If you want to do anything of any complexity at all, you're stuck either writing a bunch of code yourself or paying yearly fees on their plugins.

    Reasons for Switching to WooCommerce

    Woocommerce itself is free and works within the confines of your own site, while Shopify forces you into its infrastructure, for better or worse.

    WooCommerce is great for creating an online store and getting it up and running in a short time with little money. It is my preferred platform to recommend to my clients.

    Pros

    Its ability to integrate with other tools, addons, extensions and its extensive documentation allows you to customize many elements of the online store.

    Cons

    WooCommerce's base design is not the prettiest and some of its own add-ons are very expensive compared to other brands.

    Reasons for Switching to WooCommerce
