Woocommerce - Perhaps the best way to create an online store

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.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

Requires some extra plugins to optimally maximize its features some of which are not be free. Requires some level of technicality to setup.

Inexpensive alternative to Shopify if you want a store + content

Beoordeeld op 22-6-2023

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

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

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.

It’s been ok and got us to where we need to be. We are thinking of switching away in the future mainly due to inventory management not being great, and very time consuming.

Pluspunten

It’s easy to set up, simple to customise layout and overall look of the website. Very inexpensive compared to the majority of competition.

Minpunten

Slow and sluggish at times. A long and drawn out process to add new products with multiple sizes. No matter how high our security is, we have still been hacked twice.

I've been working with this system for years now, and i learnt how to develop new functions, work with its hooks, customize everything. So, for me, it would be difficult to switch to another product right now. It integrates perfectly with wordpress and use same mechanisms, so i find working with it very compfortable.

Pluspunten

That is free, is open source and have a lot of integrations.

Minpunten

WooCommerce for Downloadable Products and Subscriptions

WooCommerce is an excellent solution for E-Commerce and can do anything you want it to. That can get overwhelming at times, as there as sooo many options to dig through. But, on the plus side, you can find an add-on or find a plug-in that will solve any issue you have.

Pluspunten

I moved to WooCommerce (from a combination of other plug-ins) because I wanted one platform that I could sell downloads ala carte, and sell subscriptions. I previously used multiple different platforms and solutions to make managing downloads and subscriptions happen, and Woo allows me to manage all products and offerings I have in one place.

Minpunten

Moving subscriptions from an existing plug-in with active subscriptions through Stripe to WooCommerce was a big process. I did a lot of research and reached out to various developers and was looking at a $4,000 plus custom development support solution to make the transition happen. I did enough research and testing that I was able to make the transition happen over a weekend, without any additional support. In addition to the struggle of transitioning subscriptions, I learned that WooCommerce doesn't use Stripe's "subscription" feature but instead creates a new charge each month, until the customer cancels. So metrics are very difficult.

Redenen om over te stappen op WooCommerce

I needed something that would allow me to manage courses and downloads, as well as offering subscriptions. I also needed something that could accept subscriptions via Stripe so that I could transfer existing Stripe subscriptions to the new platform. WooCommerce allowed for that.

My experience with this software is quite enjoyable, it is a great advantage to have this plug-in to build a professional store that allows you to sell like the big companies, taking in count that you practically own the store and you can do anything you want with it and sell anything you like, forget about being suspended or penalized it is practically yours.

Pluspunten

- This plug-in software for WordPress is something else, it is really complete and allows you to create functional store from A-Z.
- It is extremely flexible and you can edit just about anything from shipping to payment processors, give coupons perform cross sales and up sales.
- It has several paid modules but you can purchase them as you go, plus if you are starting the basic out of the box version has enough to make you money so you can start adding more paid functionalities.
- The entry base system is free and works seamlessly with WordPress and it is fully responsive to any device.
- It works great with page builders such as Beaver Builder, Elementor and others, if you do not want to code this is a good choice.
- You have the biggest companies and shipping services having interrogations for Woo-commerce.
- It has a set up wizard that allows you to get started quickly.
- There is a lot of documentation and the woo-commerce community is huge.
- You can easily find a developer that is familiar with this system.

Minpunten

- The learning curve you will experience can be a bit steep specially if you do not have experience with CMS.
- There is some technical data you have to know in terms of taxes and logistics info but it can be easily sorted out with an internet search or a tutorial online.

My overall experience on a scale of 1-10 I’d say is 7. It can be used for a small business that doesn’t deal with hefty transactions daily

Pluspunten

So I used woocomerce to receive payments for an e-learning platform that I created on wordpress. It integrates very easy with wordpress and has a decent interface on the back end. It has a mobile app that allows you view your orders and in a way categorize them and a few reminder notes to each order. It allows you integrate various payment gateways like stripe and paypal and plenty more via use or account authentication or through the use of api access keys. Its a decent app that performs its job effectively at the back end

Minpunten

I have to say my main con is the load time it takes when charging a card and another downside is the frequent updates you have to keep up with on wordpress in other for it to keep functioning as it should. The mobile app is also a bit limited in functionality but then its nice when you get an order and get notified via the app notification. It also crashes when a lot of users try to purchase all at the same time.

WooCommerce is my go-to eCommerce solution and it works very well. There are only a few drawbacks that are worth the hassle to have such a full-featured option.

Pluspunten

By far the most beneficial part of WooCommerce is that it works on WordPress which means you're completely unlimited in your ability to customize the system how you like. With other eCommerce solutions such as Shopify or SquareSpace, you're stuck with whatever that have in their closed system whereas with WooCommerce the sky is the limit with what you can do.

Minpunten

WooCommerce is a heavy plugin that adds a lot to a website and as a result, updates must be vetted in a test environment in order to be safe. This wasn't a problem a few years ago when WooCommerce only released updates once every 1 or 2 months. Over the last few years, they've begun releasing updates with no apparent schedule and sometimes you get multiple updates in the same week. This can be very disruptive and labor intensive for store owners to have to test the updates first and look for issues/bugs before going live with a new update just to have to do it all over again a few days later (sometimes even in the very next day).

Woocommerce has been good overall for our company. Sometimes, issues and processes take a little bit of extra effort to understand and get working exactly how we want. Plugins definitely help. There has not yet been a feature that we can't get to work that we want.

Pluspunten

Lots of plugins to integrate whatever features you want with your ecommerce website. We like the fact that we can have informational blog type pages mixed with our ecommerce. Adding features to cover deficiencies is easy (coupons, marketing, payment processing, etc.)

Minpunten

It's Actually Very Good

Beoordeeld op 21-8-2022

Pluspunten

What I appreciate about Woocommerce is how simple it is to set up; with just a few clicks, it can be used as an online sales platform without the need for sponsors or other third parties, whose organizational structures prevent you from choosing the products you want to offer. With Wooocommerce, anything is possible: you can increase your client base, collect sales as you like using various currencies and payment methods, select your shipment method, and the consumer even has the option of handling the shipping themselves if he so chooses.

Minpunten

There comes a time when the plugin needs a lot of dedication, which entails hours of work based on the maintenance of the plugin and the compatible and dedicated plugins for Woocommerce. For this, you need IT knowledge based on application development, PHP code implementation, and web hosting management, which generally requires a fair amount of knowledge to understand or work with someone.

WooCommerce is Our Go-To For Clients....

Beoordeeld op 12-1-2023

I've been working with eCommerce systems for nearly 20 years, and WooCommerce is still my go-to...

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.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.

It's absolutely a game-changer for me and my very small business. I sell items online and moved away from big commerce marketplaces because the fees were eating me alive in an already super competitive market. I can now run my own store on my own website and list as many items as I was for free. I also have the ability to modify Woocommerce however I see fit to my needs. It's a little tricky at first but worth the time investment considering it's a free opensource app.

Pluspunten

It's free and it's open source! If you have the time and a little bit of patience this is well worth the investment of knowledge it takes to get it up and running. The modifications you can implement and the documentation on how to do so I plentiful online. Having the ability to manipulate such a versatile plugin for your website is monumental when running a small business and literally doing everything for yourself. You can also integrate print-on-demand stores like Printful into your Woocommerce store which is one of the best features!

Minpunten

It can be overwhelming. If you are not familiar with the backends of websites and a little coding this might not be for you. If you are unfamiliar with e-commerce this can also be overwhelming too. The language and deep level of modifications and settings can make your head spin.

Pluspunten

allows to create and manage online stores. One of the things that I like most about WooCommerce is its flexibility and customization options. I can customize the store's design and functionality to suit specific needs and preferences, such as adding custom product fields, adjusting shipping options, or offering promotions and discounts.Another benefit of WooCommerce is its ease of use. with little or no coding experience I can easily set up and manage stores using the intuitive interface and drag-and-drop tools.WooCommerce also offers a wide range of payment and shipping options, including support for popular payment gateways such as PayPal and Stripe. This makes it easy for me to accept payments from customers and manage shipping and delivery options.

Minpunten

One of the common complaints about WooCommerce is that it can be resource-intensive, which means that it requires a significant amount of server resources to run smoothly. This can lead to slower site speeds or even crashes if the hosting provider is not robust enough.

As a web designer, the WooCommerce platform and web plugin have truly revolutionised the process of creating an online store in terms of the ease of setting up and running an online platform, cutting the hassle of designing backend and multiple frontend pages, and eliminating the need to hire an API developer to develop APIs for payment integration customization and flows. Anyone can now set up their own online store.Using WooCommerce today, we are far ahead of the market and have exceeded our deliverables and targets.We have constant access to reports, transactions, and orders; easy payment flow and integration; order tracking, coupon generation; and high-level, personalised customization.The ability to connect multiple payment options to our website using WooCommerce is as easy as ABC.It is always easy to use.

Minpunten

Some certain features and options are hidden from beginner users; examples include shipping options, add-to-cart redirection, and user registration after purchase. These are not easy to locate for a new beginner.

WooCommerce is robust but can be a bit daunting to setup or use for complex situations

I like WooCommerce because I use it a lot and it works well with my own Web Development I do but sometimes it's just quicker and easier to tell a client to use something else in some cases.

Pluspunten

WooCommerce does a great job at a variety of different things right out of the free (mostly) box. Want to open a shop for your comic book collection? Done. Want to sell tickets to an event? Done. Want to just keep a log of event attendees and "sell" a free ticket? Done. Just about anything you could need to do is fairly simple with WooCommerce once it is setup.

Minpunten

Setup and configuration can sometimes be a bit daunting especially for those that are not well off on knowledge of WordPress. If you want to do certain more complex things with WooCommerce you can sometimes run into issues either being able to do them at all, being able to do them exactly the way you want, or finding a plugin that operates the way you need. Then, even when you do find a plugin, you have to then keep yet another plugin up to date as well as possibly pay for said plugin too. It can add up quick if you start to get a little more advanced with WooCommerce.

Solid Software but lots of limitations

Beoordeeld op 15-5-2023

Pluspunten

I Really love its built-in SEO features and marketing tools that contribute to improving search engine visibility and driving customer engagement. The vast extension ecosystem enhances functionality, enabling me to integrate advanced features and plugins to meet my business needs. The shopping cart and checkout process are smooth, providing customers with a hassle-free purchasing experience.

Minpunten

WooCommerce has several limitations to consider. It has a steep learning curve for beginners and may require coding knowledge or professional help for advanced customization. The plugin's extensive features can sometimes slow down site performance if not optimized properly. Additionally, while the basic version is free, additional costs may arise when purchasing certain extensions and plugins, affecting the overall budget for running an online store.
