MemberPress vs WooCommerce: Which is a better fit?

Christina C.: Hi, I'm Christina. I'm a nutritionist and I give MemberPress a five out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. I chose MemberPress because I have a WordPress website and I wanted a membership and course plugin that would blend seamlessly into my website and that would be very effective. I looked at other options, external subscription options, and they were just too expensive and ultimately I didn't have control over the content, so I chose MemberPress and I'm very glad I did. I chose MemberPress because there are very robust features that come with the product. It's very affordable price point. There's also a lot of support, so setting up the plugin and adding it to my website was so easy. I received so much support through email and also directly contacting their support team. That was wonderful. It allowed me to set up my course and my membership up without a hitch, so really grateful. Setting up MemberPress was easy. As soon as I purchased the plugin, I received a series of emails with step-by-step instructions telling me exactly how to install a plugin, how to adjust the settings, and then how to format and customize it so that it matched my websites, CSS and HTML. For anyone looking to install MemberPress, please know that you need to be knowledgeable when it comes to WordPress and using the backend. Installing the plugin is easy, but setting it up so that it seamlessly meshes with your website, can be a bit tricky. So either you need to have robust knowledge when it comes to working with WordPress, or you need to have a great developer who can easily install the plugin and set it up. Once it's set up, adding the content and also getting the payment gateway set up, is fairly easy.

Michael P.: My name is Michael. I'm a small business owner. I'm giving WooCommerce a five out of five. For more reviews, click below. Before using WooCommerce, we had just started up our business and had been doing everything by hand, all orders, just coming in directly to us. Obviously that's not sustainable as you scale up and you get more orders. WooCommerce makes it super easy to manage all your inventory and orders coming through. Super simple platform to use and has a lot of great features that can really make your small business firing on all cylinders. Love WooCommerce ... it really made my life a lot easier. We chose WooCommerce first and foremost because it integrates extremely well with the WordPress site. The site that I have for my business is made all with WordPress. It's definitely the number one platform if you are building an online shop. The features are super rich. You can do a ton of different things with WooCommerce. I like it because it's really easy to track inventory. When somebody places an order, you get an email. It shows up right in your queue. It shows exactly what they ordered and what you need to get to them. Super easy to use both on my end, as the business owner, and also integrating it into the website. It also offers a lot of third party integration. If you're using other apps and software, it's super user friendly on that front, as well as for customers who might be placing orders. The whole process just makes your business really streamlined and easy to use for online orders. Prior to having this WordPress website, I didn't have any experience with WooCommerce. A small learning curve, especially if you're trying to utilize all the different features that you can have with WooCommerce. However, very simple to get started, especially if you just want to create a basic online store. Really easy to get going with it. As you get into it more, you may need to do a little bit of research here and there, or get some help from the WooCommerce team, which is very friendly and quick with responses, but nothing too crazy to get going with it. Again, just very easy, very simple overall. I would highly recommend WooCommerce for anybody who has an online store or wants an online store, especially if you have a WordPress website. This thing is definitely made to work extremely well with WordPress. If you have a WordPress website, definitely going to go ahead and say that you need to have WooCommerce as your main hub for online orders and for your store. I wouldn't hesitate at all. I would definitely recommend getting it going. It's super easy to use and can pretty much do everything you might need to get your online business going.
