### "An e-commerce dinosaur"

February 10, 2023

5.0

Pros

Installing it and keeping it updated is extremely easy because it is found on any hosting that runs WordPress; there are many third party extensions in the Marketplace to add any functionality required, a Google search helps to find the required extension and lately several payment platforms have plugins to install it and you can use it with WooCommerce.

Cons

Some extensions or add-ons are expensive and have no trial version and in some cases are developed for a specific version of woocommerce.Adding products manually is tedious, but luckily there are templates to upload products, but they are very complicated to fill in until you do trial and error, it uses its own ID which does not allow you to edit it or understand how to configure it if you need to integrate with any CRM.

### "Turn your Wordpress sites into stores with WooCommerce!"

September 28, 2023

5.0

I used WooCommerce to set up my second e-commerce store. (https://www.fawnandmoose.com) The first one was done using Shopify which took a similar amount of time but was very frustrating. Woo worked great. A few days later, our website became a fully functioning store! We've since added a store to Instagram and Facebook connected to our site.

Pros

The tutorials and support make setting up your e-commerce store relatively easy. But don't just SKIP over the details. Take time. Read carefully and follow the steps exactly.

Cons

It can be complicated due to all that it does. You need to read instructions carefully and follow the steps exactly to avoid getting lost.

Reason for choosing WooCommerce

I had tried a dropship store with Shopify previosuly and found the interface a hassle. Shopify also employs its own unique code which is different than HTML/CSS. I chose WooCommerce because its made by bthe same company that makes WordPress and so I thought it'd be a more seamless experience and less likely to have incompatabilities.

### "One of the Best E-commerce Solutions"

October 7, 2022

5.0

WooCommerce has a lot of pros and cons. As soon as the plugin is installed, setting up an e-commerce store is a breeze. It is almost free (except hosting) and fast to set up a decent looking e-commerce website. However, the WordPress admin interface can become very messy and cumbersome when more plugins are being added to spruce up the website. Some of the plugins would appear inside WooCommerce while others outside, making maintenance tedious and confusing for beginners. Furthermore, many plugins needed for basic functions (eg. Google feed, SEO) required paid subscriptions. Many needed third party plugins can conflict with each other, hence bringing down the performance of WooCommerce and the overall website.

Pros

\- Easy to use - Free (no fees) - Great catalog system - Great shopping cart - Great customization based on needs - Compatible with most popular plugins

Cons

\- Can be confusing for beginners to have to use WooCommerce together with WordPress, such as in building a product menu which is not built automatically as with other platforms (eg. Shopify) - Can slow down a website because WooCommerce is itself a plugin - Online product editing can be slow and tedious - No in-built SEO without using another plugin - Poor Google Core Web Vitals for mobile which is essential for good search page result ranking - The search bar is a pain to use

### "The Best WordPress Plugin For Beginners"

October 26, 2022

5.0

What I liked most about using Woocomerce is that it's a basic stanrdard tool if you're selling digital products and you can also offer discounts to your customers. If you want to sell physical products from your website, you need additional plugins that cost you more money.

Pros

Woocommerce is a WordPress plugin that is free to use. It is basic and standard and you can easily integrate it with the WordPress content marketing system to sell digital products.

Cons

Although the Woocommerce plugin is cheap to install initially, the price of hosting increases as your store grows. This has an impact on price as it becomes more expensive to run compared to other stores such as Shopify. The only payment gateway that you can easily integrate is Paypal and if you need other payment gateways, you have to install other plugins that may be expensive.

### "The formula of success and ease of use."

October 24, 2020

5.0

Back in the day, I was always attracted by that GURUS online promoting other platforms (Never knew that they were affiliates). I used other platforms for 1 month and it was really expansive, all the plugins are extremely expansive or they charge a commission/ Sale. Then I discover WOOCOMMERCE easier, more control over the hosting and servers unlike Shopify (They can shut you down anytime they want without giving an ounce of explanations), and more artistic designing the websites From my point of view, WooCommerce can be described as Legit, Genuine, Beautiful, Educational never had any trouble ever since I started building websites it was always a +++ Income IT'S 5 STARS

Pros

WooCommerce it's beyond simple, I've personally been using this software for years (I even lost count) it has unlimited features: -Connected to WordPress -No more struggling for creating an eCommerce website, Online Courses, B2B platform, or more. -It's simple just a drag & drop system no need for expertise or development skills. -Best Worldwide Ecom platform and money saver, unlike others. -Have more control over the servers and hosting -The WooCommerce Community is everywhere around social media platforms and never struggle to complete a task. - It's FREE TO USE and NO COMMISSION -Multiple Plugins FREE

Cons

With Lack Of CMS, it might be a little hard to use, but after designing a couple of websites, then everything comes to a conclusion.

### "Customizable and easy to use"

December 1, 2022

4.0

With WooCommerce, I simply and easily create e-commerce websites for my clients; they are satisfied with them. Personally, I think WooCommerce is more for small businesses, but everyone has their own opinion. One thing is certain, he is very efficient in his field.

Pros

It's the e-commerce platform I use for my clients (I'm not very good at coding). WooCommerce has become a benchmark in this area. Easy to install and configure, you can design and launch a business website in no time. With the plugins, you can add different services such as payment by card, or by Paypal. If you don't like (or don't know how to) code like me, and you need to put an e-commerce site online, look no further, WooCommerce will do just fine

Cons

\- Just like its host, WordPress, it is not very flexible- it happens that we need several plugins to make changes, which often causes delays or even bugs- Sometimes, to get the result you want, you have to make the changes directly in the source code

### "Gestione semplice di un e-commerce "

April 2, 2023

5.0

Lo sto usando da relativamente poco tempo, ma trovo che sia una buona soluzione per negozi online con cataloghi ridotti. Per cataloghi più ampio è ancora poco raccomandato l'uso di woocommerce. Per piccoli cataloghi invece, è un modo molto pratico di mettere su e controllare tutti gli aspetti di un commercio online.

Pros

Mi piace che sia semplice e tutto in stile WordPress quindi con la solita e consolidata semplicità di inserimento dei dati e gestione dei prodotti come dei post.

Cons

Ha ancora un buon margine di miglioramento e semplificazione, per cataloghi molto ampi per esempio è poco pratico. Semplificherei la parte dell'inserimento delle varianti soprattutto.

### "One of the best solution for independent eCommerce owners "

August 11, 2022

5.0

Overall, this is the best in class premium ecommerce plugin for WordPress lovers. It's seamless in terms of order management, payment gateway and SEO based features. I would not recommend it if you have a pretty much budget for your product or have large order volumes, else it's expensive for you.

Pros

I loved their interface, which makes it the best option for a new business person to put their store online with very little hassle. I have even tried their inventory management option, where I can upload my products in bulk using excel or any other medium. Also, I can accept and integrate any internation currency payment gateway, which is just brilliant for a businessman to expand their ecommerce store.

Cons

Many times you need coding knowledge makes things more specialized as website became unusable and requires upgrade, and I need to put lots of money to make it work. Even add-ons are very expensive, which makes it a more premium option if you have lots of margins in your sells.

### "I recommend WooCommerce for you if you want a professional online store"

October 30, 2023

5.0

WooCommerce is a widely used and popular e-commerce plugin for WordPress. Many users appreciate its flexibility, extensive customization options, and large community support. It offers a range of features for online store management, from product listings to payment processing.

Pros

WooCommerce is a user-friendly e-commerce platform that allows you to create and customize online stores. It offers a lot of themes and plugins, making it simple for both beginners and experienced users to build professional-looking websites.

Cons

WooCommerce offers flexibility but can be complex for some beginners. It depends on WordPress, has performance concerns with heavy customization, and requires paid extensions for advanced features.

### "The Best ecommerce building platform ever"

April 30, 2022

5.0

Pros

Woocommerce is very easy, you want an e-commerce website? nothing to worry about, just install woocommerce on your WordPress installation, and voila! You are good to go. Everything is super easy and the most important thing is it's improving daily, bringing new features every month. Thousands of third-party integration scope, highly customizable. It's awesome!

Cons

It doesn't pass transactions without an email ID, that's very bad. I mean there are add-ons using which phone login can be enabled and the email field can be made optional, but no option to put a null value for the email address field, which creates issues with payment gateways.

### "Woo - the best eCommerce option for WordPress"

November 19, 2022

5.0

Pros

Integration with existing brick-and-mortar business processes was easy. WooCommerce has many features that enable easy setup and management e.g. inventory management, product attributes, product types (virtual, physical, single, variable e.tc), shopping cart management, coupons, and discounts, extensive reporting, shipping management, tax management. And the best part is it's free!

Cons

The digital or virtual products order process can be improved e.g. there is no need for a shipping address.

### "THE BEST platform to get you started on your eCommerce journey"

February 24, 2023

5.0

The vast majority of plugins and extensions available to enhance the already smooth experience has made WooCommerce the de-facto standard across all eCommerce platforms that we have helped to build.WooCommerce is easy to set-up from scratch, edit and customise to match website design and also easy to scale with a growing business. We are in debt to our service providers who have supported us along the journey but all of this wouldn't have been possible if we hadn't put in the time to set up an eCommerce store.

Pros

When we had a few services we could sell, we looked at setting up an eCommerce store. Since our website already ran on WordPress, WooCommerce was the #1 suggestion. It was relatively easy to set up and ran without much trouble on a low-spec server. This meant a lot to us in terms of money saved on expensive infrastructure right from the beginning. Over time we have been able to scale our business and add more features.

Cons

There are times in the early days that we struggled with caching issues. That was more of an oversight from our dev team that was easily fixed with a few lines of code. The experience has been great otherwise.

### "WooCommerce is a free way for virtually anyone to sell products online."

April 26, 2022

4.0

The plugin works as advertised and is free. Once you get everything configured and up and running, it is generally reliable.

Pros

WooCommerce is free (and flexible) and comes with the basics to get you up and running with an online store.

Cons

Since WooCommerce is free, it seems to me that they handicap the plugin by providing just the minimum number of features to make it functional, and then offering to rent extensions to make it truly useful. And, the extensions they rent all have a yearly fee. FYI, many of the functions of their extensions can be found elsewhere for a one-time price which is usually less expensive than renting a similar extension from them.

### "Decent product if it wasn't expensive to use and worked properly "

April 29, 2022

4.0

If it was not so expensive to run I would stick with it, if they had apps that I needed with better star ratings I would stick with it. After being a using for over 5+ years we have decided to go a different route.

Pros

Woocommerce has the ability to upload thousands of products at once, the interface is good, it also has decent features such as having products with variables, and hundreds more. It integrates with most third party extensions.

Cons

What I like least is the expense of running a woocommerce store, while it is free to use the cost comes in with its third party apps. These expenses can run in to hundreds of dollars per year. Some of their third party apps are good, but are not cheap. Some of them have low star ratings. Yes, they have free ones, but if you truly want to run a full Ecommerce Store you need a lot of these paid apps. It's this reason why we have looked into other software.

My overall experience with WooCommerce is very positive. It makes my job in creating products and accounting for them very easy.

Pros

Woo would be well served to created more robust customizable options. I use Elementor page builder and Woo doesn't play as well with it as I would like.

### "The Ecommerce Solution For Online Stores"

May 23, 2022

4.0

It's been awesome using Woocommerce. The software has made it super easy for people with no coding or technical knowledge to create and manage online stores.

Pros

Woocommerce makes running an online store super easy, comfortable and superb! While there are premium or paid addons to extend its functionalities, the free Woocommerce bundle is quite adequate to provide the essentials needed to power e-commerce websites. Great product!

Cons

There are lots of things I believe Woocommerce can consider improving on, one being that some addons don't need a paid option. They should be considered as part of the basic needs of powering online stores. This is because other plugin developers have created free alternatives to what Woocommerce charge money for. Another observation is that the default Woocommerce interface is too basic with an old design. There should be a more flexible solution to redesigning login/register pages, and customer dashboards, among other features.

March 15, 2023

Facilidad de uso y buen control de toda la gestión de pedidos.

Pros

Es muy sencillo de utilizar. Me gusta como muestra el análisis de los pedidos, el precio neto de las ventas y el final, todo desglosado. También me resulta interesante los filtros que podemos utilizar para ver las categorías más vendidas y los productos más vendidos. Me viene genial también para ver cómo funcionan mis colaboraciones de RRSS a través del uso de códigos de cupones.

Cons

La sencillez de la gestión de productos a veces hace que no pueda gestionarlos de manera más amplia y añadiendo funcionalidades que me gustaría. Trabajo con un producto específico y el plugin añadido me limita un poco, quizás si woocommerce ofreciera más variedad para la gestión de productos eso se solucionaría.

### "WooCommerce is the most powerful and cost-effective eCommerce solution"

December 28, 2020

5.0

As a web developer, I use WooCommerce on A LOT of WordPress sites. For most websites, WooCommerce is the perfect fit and with all the documentation and plugins out there, most needs can be covered pretty much out of the box.

Pros

If you have a WordPress site and you need a shopping cart, you'll probably be using WooCommerce. Sure, there's other options out there but WooCommerce is hands down, the best solution for you. The main WooCommerce plugin is free and that gives you all the common eCommerce options that you would generally need. Then, if you need extra functionality, there are literally hundreds of free and paid plugins that you can install to extend WooCommerce further. And, if you're a programmer (like me), you can write your own PHP to hook into WooCommerce for additional customization. For most businesses though, WooCommerce by itself, or with a few additional plugins (perhaps for custom shipping or payment options) is all that's needed and it's easy to install, configure, and manage.

Cons

WooCommerce is only for WordPress, since it's a WordPress plugin. Although you can really do a lot with WooCommerce and plugins for it, some of the plugins (like subscriptions at $199) can cost a pretty penny. And if you need some custom programming, that could cost even more.

Reason for choosing WooCommerce

Although the other solutions can work well too, WooCommerce is really a solid product and truly is the best eCommerce platform for WordPress sites.

Very positive as it allowed us to launch our store in less than a day.

Pros

Our clients store was built around SEO and creating high quality reviews / blogs was an important requirement. Therefore, WooCommerce was a great alternative to Shopify due to the blogging management being much simpler on WooCommerce, and knowing Woocommerce is based on wordpress it was a no brainer. Combined, with the ability to customize it with plugins made it the best solution for us.

Cons

Learning curve is a little steep. Additionally, if you want a custom theme it might take some time to set up the store to your exact requirements.

Woocommerce si pone a metà tra competitor dalla grande complessità come Magento ad altri più semplici ma meno completi e personalizzabili come Shopify. Utilizzo quindi Woocommerce per la maggior parte dei miei progetti e-commerce integrandolo a Wordpress.
