There has been quite a few times I’ve needed assistance due to unique setups and every time they have provided a solution and a speedy response. Pros From start to finish, WooCommerce really does have it all. Right from the moment you install. And no matter how awkward your own business setup may be, WooCommerce always has a way to accompany it. Cons To be honest other than the app, it’s hard to fault WooCommerce. If you are building a Wordpress website, WooCommerce is definitely the choice to go with. But again, the mobile app needs work. Review Source AP Ashley P.

Pros The diversity of what you can build out using all the extensions, plugins, etc. Everything integrates with WooCommerce as well so it has been easy to integrate things like widgets from our review platform, signup forms for our membership, etc. Cons Sometimes, depending on what you are wanting to do, it can take a miriad of plugins to get the job done.

In addition, its performance and security have allowed me to gradually scale sales. The community around this platform is very active and we find quick solutions to any problem with the documentation or discussion forums. I would definitely recommend WooCommerce to any entrepreneur for its power and flexibility Pros What I liked most about WooCommerce was its great flexibility and customization capacity. Thanks to its architecture based on plugins, themes and extensions, I was able to configure exactly the online store I needed for my business. I had the opportunity to test various payment methods, shipping logistics, theme designs, among other optimizations. In addition, its native integration with WordPress allowed me to take full advantage of the CMS's functionalities to create content and manage my store in a very intuitive way Cons What I liked least about WooCommerce was that since it is an open source platform, the learning curve is somewhat longer than other e-commerce solutions. It required spending extra time at the beginning to familiarize myself with all of its configuration parameters, database tables, and templating system. I also missed a larger library of natively available themes, although I realized that this is offset by the flexibility to create custom layouts Review Source DQ David Q.

(unless you need a lot of addons)" December 14, 2023 5.0 We've used woocommerce for years to manage our inventory and sell our goods, merch, and services. It's been very helpful, particularly for anything we need to ship. Pros Woocommerce is enterprise grade software that is free/cheap. You can get started for free and buy the official addons for a relatively low price if you need them. If you have a developer like we do, you can extend the functionality for no extra cost. It gets the job done nicely. Cons Could have more out-of-the-box functionality. Alternatives considered [Shopify](https://www.capterra.com/p/83891/Shopify/) Reason for choosing WooCommerce Cheaper and more extensible. Offered us more control. Review Source Yosue V.

Puedes añadir un sin fin de plugins que ayudan a personalizar cada rincón de Woocommerce Cons Algunas opciones no pude personalizar sin usar código, como cambiar la opción de código postal como Obligatorio en vez de Opcional, como venía por defecto, eso me quito mucho tiempo probando plugins, hablando con el soporte técnico y tratando de simplemente añadir una frase que diga (Obligatorio) en la opción de Código Postal. El Soporte ayuda, pero no mucho, me redirigieron a sus FAQs y foros para revisar el problema, lo que en realidad no ayudo mucho Review Source TD Tim D. Director Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The most flexible ecommerce platform around" October 30, 2023 5.0 I'm a big fan of WooCommerce and use it for a number of client ecommerce stores. Pros WooCommerce is open source and built on top of Wordpress, so it is the easiest and most cost-effective way to add ecommerce to a Wordpress website. It is also incredibly flexible, with a huge number of plugins and code snippets that can extend and alter its fuctionality. Cons The user interface is a little dated compared to the likes of Shopify. It is still pretty simple to use, but it's interface does not feel as modern or look as clean as Shopify's platform.

Review Source Gilmer S. Marketing Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Satisfied from start to finish" September 19, 2023 5.0 Although like any plugin it can improve some aspects, I highly value its easy integration with WordPress, which is the CMS I use for my website, the great community and support available, and its basic but complete functionality to manage an online business in a simple way. It has exceeded my initial expectations to get me started in e-commerce and grow my reach to new customers. I will continue to learn tricks and customize my store to get better results month after month Pros I mainly liked the ease of use and integration of WooCommerce. Being able to create my products quickly and easily, adding images and details such as colors, sizes, etc. was an important advantage when managing my online store. The customization it allows on the front-end also allowed me to adapt it to the design and style I wanted for my brand. Another functionality that I valued was natively secure payments through gateways such as PayPal, which streamlined the purchasing process for my clients Cons What I liked least was the limited customization in the back-end and administration panels. Although you can modify the fields of the order forms, it is not easy to customize the structure and design of the administration area much further. This could be improved to give more advanced configuration options to those who require it. Another point to improve are some processes that are not very intuitive, such as inventory management requiring more steps than necessary Review Source DG David G. PHP programmer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "At the moment, I don't know of a better affordable ecommerce system." July 25, 2023 5.0 Pros I like the customizability of WooCommerce. With enough coding knowledge you can even write your own custom functions. It is a well built, well thought out system. Cons The only difficulty I have is setting the amount of stock. This part could be improved.

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. Alternatives considered [PrestaShop](https://www.capterra.com/p/134005/PrestaShop/)[Shopify](https://www.capterra.com/p/83891/Shopify/) Reason for choosing WooCommerce The portability, integration with methods and its customization capacity in both design, UX and code to add unique functionalities.

Digital Marketing Consultant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Woocommerce - Perhaps the best way to create an online store" February 10, 2023 5.0 Overall, Woocommerce is one of the best ecommerce platforms available today. There are endless possibilities as to how you can customize and design your ecommerce store with Woocommerce. Though some addon might be pricey, you can get a store running smoothly without paying for extra addons. You have total control over your store, it is great for SEO and offers excellent functionality. Pros Woocommerce is open source and accessible to as many people that can install Wordpress on their hosting account. When compared to other ecom platforms there are no monthly fees associated with Woocommerce and it is suitable for use whether you are creating a simple store or a large store. You can also edit and customize it to your taste or branding with the help of many readily built templates. You can create a store with different product variants, easily manage your inventory, add your own SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) number to each product, and include several payment options. Woocommerce is also suitable whether you are selling physical or digital products. Cons Requires some extra plugins to optimally maximize its features some of which are not be free. Requires some level of technicality to setup.

Creative Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "WooCommerce is Our Go-To For Clients...." January 12, 2023 5.0 I've been working with eCommerce systems for nearly 20 years, and WooCommerce is still my go-to choice. It's the finite control over the user experience that makes it my preference, but then again, it's certainly not for everyone. If you're considering WooCommerce and you have no experience with it, my advice would be to hire a developer who does. They can help you install it, configure it, and show you how to maintain it. Pros Firstly, it's free. It's completely free and open-source, so it's a great option for anyone who is starting out. Secondly, you can extend WooCommerce to do literally ANYTHING that you can imagine. Developers around the world have built extensions that you can buy or download to completely control and customize the way it works so if you need a pretty custom shopping experience, there's likely a way to put it together using WooCommerce. Lastly, the design can be very "out of the box" so you don't need an awful lot of design chops to make it look pretty amazing. It's also the standard ecommerce system for WordPress, so if you're buying a high-end theme, chances of it supporting WooCommerce are pretty great. Cons The interface is WordPress, since WooCommerce is an add-on. For some people, they find the backend of WordPress a bit off-putting, but once you get going, it's a pretty easy to use piece of software (albeit not very pretty). It would be nice if the order, products and reviews could be easily popped on the dashboard to make them feel more front and center for clients with less experience. The other huge con with WooCommerce is it's hosted with YOUR hosting company, which means that you're responsible for the security of the customer's information. That's not a big deal if you work with a developer, but as a solopreneur, it means making sure you have good site security from the get-go and staying on top of that security upkeep.

Pros what I like most in my use of woocommerce is its way of being versatile which helps me a lot to manage multi tasks on my website Cons what I liked less in the use of woocommerce is its page of notification of order that it sends to the customer after the order which I think needs a little improvement in the design Review Source Evelyn F. Digital Marketing Strategist and Content Creator Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best by far overall for small biz e-commerce" June 23, 2023 5.0 Our experience and mine overall are great. There are hundreds of third-party integrations running efferently along with this platform, which makes managing an e-commerce very simple out of the box. It is easy to add many products variations, different kind of inventories, pricing features, and so other. Pros FreeEasy to use, understand, install and manage. Very customizable since runs on WordPress Cons It supposedly might find hard to work along with thousands of items and tremendously visited websites. We haven't faced many issues so far. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/)[Magento BI](https://www.capterra.com/p/167535/Magento-Business-Intelligence/)[Shopify](https://www.capterra.com/p/83891/Shopify/) Reason for choosing WooCommerce No way any of those competitors might race WooCommerce at any level other than supper stores, and I keep some doubts WooCommerce get difficulties at large scale as many people claim. In first place, it is the only completely free alternative of the market working along with WordPress, which provides a lot of customization power with ease. Additionally, there are several payment gateways providers, and you can decide your best rate other than getting tied by a particular fee in platforms such as Wix or Shopify. And talking about Magento, WordPress happens to be more user-friendly either for developers or Search Engines.

To be fair, it is the pricing of WooCommerce addons that puts me off sometimes. Pros Woocommerce allows even the smallest of shops to push their products across the internet. Cons It can rarely be used "out of the box". It takes a lot to set up and isn't for unknowledgeable users.

Pros You can't beat the price, it's free! It is a basic but complete solution to turn your wordpress site into an e-commerce site. It is user-friendly and has constant security updates that you get for free. Cons The software is very basic, which means you need to buy add-ons usually, which is where the money is made. Some things could easily be in the software and I just know it is intentionally left out which is pretty annoying. Customizing pages such as checkout flows and shopping carts is not user-friendly at all. Which means either writing a bunch of code or installing a theme or builder that does it, but also can slow down your site. Review Source ZAiN R.

Pros I appreciate how the WooCommerce setup wizard and clear tab designations make it easy to create a WooCommerce integration with my Wordpress site, and locate the various settings to customise WooCommerce to my needs. Cons For the sake of clients who wish to pay me at my office, I would have liked WooCommerce to have a pay later option without requiring a credit card in advance. However, I was able to modify one of the payment fields to say "Pay in person at office", so it was an easy workaround. Reason for choosing WooCommerce I didn't look at alternate products. I create websites with prebuilt templates, all of which have WooCommerce integrated in the design.
