Unclaimed: Are you working at WooCommerce?
WooCommerce Reviews: 4.4/5 — Solid Choice
WooCommerce is the top choice for eCommerce businesses on WordPress. While it’s not a standalone site builder, it works seamlessly with the WordPress environment which makes it easy to use and simple, even for beginners. Anyone familiar with WordPress will find WooCommerce a great tool as they attempt to build out their site. WooCommerce works well with add-ons and integrations, with tools that include email marketing, social media selling, and one-click upsells. It does require basic coding know-how and developer insight as you scale the site, but learning the ins and outs of the platform ultimately makes management of the site so much simpler.

I didn't want to spend a lot of time and effort installing and configuring an eCommerce solution for our WordPress website. I found Woocommerce and was of and running in about an hour and that included integrating it with the Woocommerce Learning Management System called Sensei. Got my online class added as a product and ready to sell in this same time period. All easy enough to do for a beginner to Woocommerce.,
Nothing to date. I have enjoyed the online tutorials and those have gotten me through any issues I've faced.
Offering eLearning courses on our real estate education website. This is a new venture for us and so we haven't started marketing yet. But we have benefitted by having an easy to install and configure tool. I was also pleased that our bank's merchant services groups is able to integrate with WooCommerce allowing us to get cheaper transaction rates that with PayPal or Square.
WooCommerce is an easy to install & use, extendable and scalable application. WooCommerce offers a large flexibility in functionality and for the availability of theme designs. WooCommerce itself has a large marketplace of plugins for different features like: shipping (UPS, USPS etc.), payment methods (PayPal, Authorize.net AIM and CIM), inventory and much more.
Some features can be achieved only by programming, by placing php code inside the included functions of the child template.
Shopping cart, diverse web stores (physical or digital products
Online store made easy with woocommerce, it has a very much facility with all inbuilt store features such as deals and integrations.
Opensource but very stable no reason to dislike.
Plug and play to create online store.
WooCommerce lets you sell products online using your wordpress wesbite. It provides you with complete product catalog and order management features to enable full fledged user experience. It comes with multiple extensions that you can enable as per your needs. You can find many theme, which have WooCommerce pre-installed with it.
It has a big competition in the market under the name of Magento. It provides same features as WooCommerce but in a better way.
We use WooCommerce to create E-Commerce websites for our clients.
Makes ecommerce easy and more convenient.
It's not as simple to use as Shopify but still has some great features.
Using it to drop ship products. The platform makes it easy to set everything up.
HANDS DOWN the best shopping cart plugin. The design is professional and comfortable to use. The fast support is an added bonus. It's easy to use, plus it's SEO-friendly.
WooCommerce is great as a shopping cart platform, but the prices could ideally be more affordable.
We were looking for a shopping cart integration, and WooCommerce is an A+!
In our agency we build on-line stores with Woocommerce and we absolutely love it. It offers lots of customization and 3rd party integrations. It's very easy to use for our clients.
Sometimes it conflicts with latest Wordpress core updates, so you need to be careful and check compatibility with the updates
We develop e-commerce websites that allow customers to buy products and services online. This is amazing product that meets all our needs
Being able to edit values for items as I need over 100s of items to share value and pricing such as size, weight and pricing.
Value tends to not work correctly not giving all items the same value which hurts during sales to get in and edit to correct. Needs a mass fast edit.
Getting products highlighted by price and sale for sales and upsell other items.
The fact that the frontend is very configurable but also already very polished.
It's a bit slow without attention to specific caching.
This is a great solution to deploy for small to medium businesses that need control over their own eCommerce options. I don't use WP much anymore but when I do this install is almost ubiquitous.
I like the automation of everything. I also like the fact that there’s a plug-in or widget for almost every need. Woocommerce made my life so much easier when I came to starting my business and creating my website.
Having to update outdated templates. Needs more dashboard data.
Woocommerce takes away a lot of he manual work. I’ve realized that I can focus more on marketing and reporting because most of it is manual.
WooCommerce is a very widely used plugin for E Commerce, it let you create your own store in your website. you can add product, manage catalogs, process order all from your wordpress admin panel. All the ideas or features you can think of, there is a special plugin always made for same. You can further customize it to meed your needs.
To have a complete store, WooCommerce alone is not sufficient, you will need to install other supporting plugins as well.
We have created a few online stores for our clients.
Installed the free version and loved it! It gives customers a very slick, easy and professional way to give their review of products they purchased. Really really nice. Support is responsive and helpful.
The only thing I would add is more Documentation on setting it up would be helpful. Decided to buy the premium version for control over the display of the return email address.
Woocommerce provides a really stable shopping platform. And it's free. That's the best.
I've been using WooCommerce for about 3 years now, and I love it. I use it for my client's websites as well as my own. It's an excellent, easy-to-use e-commerce software option and the best available for Wordpress. Easy to extend with the numerous available plugins, and quick to get a small shop up and running.
I do wish the basic shipping plugins had a few more features, because in order to get a decent shipping situation going you have to shell out a little bit for better featured shipping plugins.
I've used WooCommerce for very small online shops such as 2-3 products, and I've used it for a some large online ships (5000-10000 products) and it scales very well. It's an excellent solution for an ecommerce website. It's very easy to teach my clients how to administrate their orders from the wordpress admin, and they love how easy it is to use.
WooCommerce permite a cualquier usuario convertir un sitio web básico en una plataforma e-commerce capaz de funcionar de manera totalmente independiente. Gracias a ello seremos capaces de iniciar nuestro negocio, convertir ventas, y analizar resultados y gestionar la facturación de nuestro negocio en una única plataforma. Es un plugin gratuito, personalizable e indispensable que, además, permite la gestión de envíos de productos tanto físicos como virtuales. Por si fuera poco, seremos capaces de añadir múltiples addons o funcionalidades extras a nuestro negocio totalmente adaptadas a WooCommerce.
¿Sinceramente? Hay poco que criticar a este plugin. Es gratuito y, para la inmensa cantidad de funcionalidades que tiene, no podemos exigir más. Un detalle a mejorar sería la implementación en negocios de dropshipping sin necesidad de añadir nuevos plugins. Cuantos más plugins tengamos instalados en nuestra web Wordpress más vulnerable será éste de cara a hackers o atacantes y, cuando se trata de datos personales y transacciones online, la seguridad es el punto más importante tanto para el vendedor como el cliente.
Rompemos la barrera inicial de costes que supone montar un nuevo negocio. Gracias a Wordpress y WooCommerce podemos establecer nuestra tienda virtual en cuestión de horas totalmente operativa, con infinitud de productos, tanto simples como variables o incluso virtuales; pudiendo configurar además los métodos de pago, de envío y los emails automáticos que recibirán nuestros clientes en cada fase del proceso de venta. ¡Increíble!
WooCommerce is a platform that allows you to customize your products in the best possible way. Imagine you have some technically difficult product that has a lot of variations depending on its components. You would go mad creating each one separately, so here is WooCommerse to solve it. You can introduce simple product or a variable product and the platform will automatically generate all the variations of it. In case there are too many variations you can use Composite Product type to let the customer choose himself each component at the moment of buying on your website and thus to get the product that suits him best. The prices will be changing according to the type of the product your client has chosen, you just need to introduce all the necessary information in WooCommerce. For me it is especially useful because now we are introducing hundreds of products on the web site
There is no option to sort categories by the date of creation, it could be very handy in case you need to delete massively the categories that you introduced by mistake
Presenting product in a handy way for a user, website looks professionally.
- It is a free eCommerce plugin - it's Open source codebase - work very well with wordpress - very intuitive - Improved experience for store owners - WooCommerce have a lot of official extensions - Customizable checkout areas with automated emails, , free shipping, built in payment processing, tax options etc. - Unlimited products, images, and galleries
I really don't know maybe the price for "pro" version but it's not very expensive for small business. the price of professional themes and some add-on who could be "very" expensive.
all for business, pricing, shipping, tax, stock, Payment details, Store contact information etc.
Es intuitivo y muy fácil de usar. No requiere mucho esfuerzo para poder montar una tienda online que quede bien.
Que no mucho margen de estilo a menos que compres plugin externo.
Montamos la tienda online.
Su escalabilidad y el tamaño de la comunidad que se ha formado, Con la integración de otros plugins es posible solucionar todos los recursos que faltan a woocommerce fácilmente... Multi-idiomas? Hay un plugin para eso, Mejorar el SEO, hay un plugin para eso, vender un producto formado de muchos otros productos agrupados? Hay un plugin... y así para casi cualquier limitación que encuentres... la mayoría de los plugins son gratuitos y los de pago suelen ser bastante asequibles, además por ser código abierto cualquier desarrollador puede modificar caso no encuentres un plugin que ya haga lo que necesitas.
Igual que con Wordpress (donde Woocommerce funciona) necesitas un BUEN servidor con OPCache habilitado, una versión reciente del PHP y además plugins de cache y optimización y un CDN... Es MUY FÁCIL crear una tienda, no tan fácil que la tienda sea rápida, principalmente cuando añadas miles de productos a tu base de datos.
Principalmente ofrecer toda la información de nuestros productos de forma fácil y intuitiva, lo usaremos como un catálogo online en la fase 1 de nuestra nueva web (aún en beta) añadiendo ventas en una segunda fase de region en region (empezando por España).
Its open source, free, have loads of integration and plugins available and development resources in a way that, if none of the 9999999 plugins available do what you need, (a rare case scenario) you just have to develop (or find a developer that can do the trick) and you fix the problem by yourself! A+
Its resources-hungry... once you start putting some hundreds (thousands in our case) of products, a cheap server will not be able to keep up with its requirements, so make sure you have a good server for it.
We hadnt an e-commerce before, so its a new thing to our company.
i like the layout of the orders in order to manage them and the ability to import them to third party applications like shipstation
the limitations of the api prevent some things from being imported in to 3rd party applications
able to assist customers with excommerce and small businesses allowing anyone to be an entrepreneur
Based on a great CMS, this add-on is one of the best way of transforming an established domain into a small online store. It is simple enough that you don't need any training just add products and start selling. It is also very Friendly SEO and you can getused to it really quick.
It is good for beginners, but when you start adding thousands of products you need something else tobe able to bulk edit them all
Making a quick online store, just plug and play
The thing I love about WooCommerce is its flexibility and ability to create global attributes. This cuts down on the time to create products.
Hasn't been too much to dislike. The ease of use is great.
It has allowed us to grow our custom jersey business immensely.
WooCommerce is one of the most popular eCommerce plugins available for WordPress. It is downloaded 3.2 million times frm the WordPress plugin directory.
1- Switching between the HTML and Visual editor modes 2- Cluttered Code 3- The learning curve 4- Going to 4 different places to edit one page
I created an e-commerce website selling live animals and accessories.
This is my favorite plugin because you can build a website on wordpress base and you install this plugin for free and you can start selling immediately. They are also improving their system every single day. I love them!
There are some feature that if you want to implement takes a lot of time and energy.
We sell our products by using the wordpress site and this plugin. Works like magic.
I did use this software for a smaller shop, great seo results and users are very used to navigating on this kind of shop.
It did perform great but had some problems with scalability and I was forced to switch to a bigger and better platform
Creating an online store with no money
You can make a store for your blog right away. Just install the addon and add your products. It operates good for a small shop, you can also operate multi shop, it increases your productivity. All the integrations with different suppliers, payment methods and so on makes it a great choice.
It does not scale pretty well, if you want a custom shop in my opinion is not the way to go. Or if you are interested only in a shop you should use something built for that
Adding a store to a blog or ahobby website
It can work seamlessly inside Wordpress.
Need better customer dashboard where we can re-target customers
we are helping launch cost effective ecommerce websites
Es nuy facil de usar y muy facil de vender
Tarda un poco en cargar la pagina web pero funciona correcto
Mas comodo y facil que otros
WooCommerce is a powerful tool that can be integrated into your Wordpress site. It has a lot of inbuilt features, but you can add a lot more customization options via plugins. Great integration with some of the best payment gateways, like PayPal or Stripe. Also with some powerful e-commerce tools such as MailChimp. The stock management is also great.
There aren't so many things that I dislike about WooCommerce. I use it in so many projects and it has always been a good tool. The worst thing, in my opinion, is the automated email templates customization. They could implement an editor to easily customize the emails that the systems deliver automatically to the customers. Maybe I would also say that sometimes it causes some problems with multilingual sites developed with WPML plugin. The issues are usually for translation synchronization. And with some plugin or Wordpress core updates could appear some bugs, but they usually solve it when they release a new update.
E-commerce creation in my clients Wordpress sites. Great stock and orders management.
Sencillamente genial poder usar WooCommerce para vender tus productos, es muy facil de hacer, no te toma mucho tiempo.
Nada, todo esta bien y perfecto, puedes editar los productos si hubieras cometido algun error, cambiar imagenes, precios, etc
Te permite vender tus productos de una forma solida y simple de hacer, beneficios muchos, entre ellos ganar dinero.
