For a person with a bit of experience developing websites, but without a lot of coding knowledge, I find WooCommerce to be the best balance of flexibility and ease of use.
Years ago, I purchased extensions in advance, to take advantage of sales, and then WooCommerce changed its system to bill me annually for the use of the extensions. The annual bill became the same as the purchase price. So the original investment just became money down the drain.
It gives me an eCommerce development solution which is both flexible and easily managed. Customer support is also very good.
Woocommerce integrates with almost every word press plugins
Extra paid subscriptions for some related plugins.. It's the cost of running business I understand
Reaching interested buyers of our products, and allowing receiving payment
Significantly cheaper than alternatives and can be customized with the addition of a large selection of plugins
Can require some basic knowledge of web development ie. CSS HTML
It allows me a relatively easy to use platform to sell my products online and at a significantly lower cost than many subscription based e-commerce sites
I love how versatile and accessible it is for beginners while offering ease of scalability as business grows and becomes complex. I love the functionalities it offers for my downloadables, physical products, subscriptions. And its quite easy to intergrate with most marketing channels.
I'm not sure if this my bad luck or a woocommerce or wordpress issue but it seems the platform is highly prone to hacking. Perhaps thats just the price of doing business online. To be fair, security measures would be needed for a physicial establishment as well so its not a deal breaker
Enables me to sell my Physical products online.

Serving as a robust and adaptable plugin designed for WordPress, WooCommerce provides an extensive array of features and customizable options, empowering entrepreneurs and businesses to effortlessly create their online retail platform.

The plugins I pay for can surely add up and cost a lot but this isnt WooCommerce`s fault for sure :)

It seamlessly integrates with numerous application with WordPress being one of the key integrations that greatly benefits us.

There is alot of flexability in regards to plugins. the platform is easy to use and there are alot of built in features. you are not constrained by the platform. you can write your own plugin code if you really wanted to.
Its not for people that arnt willing to learn and put forth some effort. I wouldnt call it plug n play.
All of our direct online ecommerce is handled through woocommerce. Both B2B and Direct customer sales. we have had a easy time implementing SEO and Discounts. reuning promotions all within the platform. It has everythig and we dont have to pay a third party an obsobitant fee just to use their platform.
the best thing that I like about Woocommerce is that designing a store in WordPress is more difficult and complex with this plugin. I like this plugin most because it is much easier for a man who does not know WordPress can easily design an online shop using Woocommerce.
Sorry I have not found anything that I dislike about Woocommerce. But the Woocommerce themes have more cost than normal themes because of their super fast speed and minimalist look.
Woocommerce solved my all problems in designing an online store. Because I was thinking that I have to pay hundreds of dollars to developers to design a store and it is a very complex job I can't do it without experience but when I installed this plugin I was amazed that it is much easier to create your store in WordPress.
