It’s free, flexible, full feature and it’s a Wordpress plugin so there is a huge use base.

It will require the use of several plugins, and most of them charge a subscription. Can get expensive.

I like that it is widely integrated into Wordpress themes. I like that it's connected to Stripe and PayPal. It's automated emails are nice, as well. Plug-ins are nice (but they are expensive and often are required for things you would expect out of the box). It can be customized to some degree, which was helpful for us...in some other ways, it is a bit rigid and not quite what you would want if you are trying to replicate a retail experience.

I would never recommend this to anyone who wasn't very, very, very tech savvy. It is absolutely not an option for people who don't have a lot of web development experience. It tries to be a system on its own, but we have found you really have to simply take the purchase data out of Woocommerce and put it into your own CRM system. We have decided to stop using it for our purposes of registering students for classes. We may still use it for the sale of items, but probably not.

With Woocommerce you can start selling within a couple of days, if you are familiar with the environment it could be even quicker, the system out of the box would let you sell physical products with variations, group products, and digital ones. It integrates with many payment processors around the world and it does manage inventory, and the best part, it is free. However, you can buy premium themes and plugins to extend the capabilities of the shop.

It can be overwhelming for new users since there are too many settings to take care of. Also, it may not be the best option if you want to sell services, downloads, or digital products where you just need to charge and send an email.

Personally, WooCommerce is an awesome tool for eCommerce business. It can turn any type of website into a professional eCommerce store. It works perfectly with any well-coded theme.It offers a lot of integrations that generally broaden its functionality and help the business owner to virtually replicate anything they could do in a physical store---I mean, just look how awesome the technology is helping us today.WooCommerce is pretty easy to set up as there're helpful guides for it . It helps to improve SEO, engagement, and sales. It offers many interesting features including product reviews which help in building trust in customers and ultimately help in conversion.The product variable option provides possibilities to showcase a single product variation upon a mouse hover. This helps the client to make better product choices and it enhances the product quality.WooCommerce makes it even easier for store owners to collect payments from customers. Just with the stripe and PayPal integration, the client can checkout via Paypal or credit cards ----- this completely erases the need of going to a local bank to send checks.

WooCommerce is very laggy in support responses. The customer support service is too slow to respond even for users with paid add-ons.

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.

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.

The free features of WooCommerce allow you to put online e-commerce stores quite ergonomic and robust.

The paid version is quite expensive for a beginner.

WooCommerce has many modules that allow for quick integration of it on WordPress. The availability of various payment methods and the ability to integrate others. It offers a great possibility of customization.

It can easily be confusing for a beginner, as it requires configuring many settings. For a complex e-commerce, it requires many modifications or the purchase of third-party tools.

WooCommerce was easy to set up and was a natural fit for existing Wordpress-based websites. Woo handles all aspects of online ordering, making life easier.

It does take some getting used to if you're not already familiar with Wordpress, but there's a learning curve to any new software.

I love the way they make it easier to make an e-commerce website and manage the site without having any Coding Knowledge.

I didn't faced any big issue except for making variable product with different price

Woocommerce is a really inexpensive way to get started with ecommerce. It's great if you're just starting out and on a tight budget since it is a free plugin. It also depends what you're using Woocommerce for. It works the best for affiliate products.

Although Woocommerce is free, it does help to have some knowledge of Wordpress and basic development skills to effectively use it. Otherwise, using a paid ecommerce software is much easier. I've used Woocommerce for years and it can become very heavy and cumbersome with the more products you add. It's gotten a lot better over the years, but the functionality can still be tricky and you need to install a lot of plugins to customize it to your various needs. Code, plugins, Wordpress, etc., can also easily break your site from updates and conflicts. There's a lot of maintenance that goes into a Wordpress site and that's maximized with Woocommerce. I find other ecommerce software to be much easier to use and be less of a headache, especially for a beginner.

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.

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.

WooCommerce is cost effective and has a great community behind, both volunteers and business oriented

Being a WordPress plugin, you have to be careful with overdoing by installing other plugins. Performance it's an issue.

It's free and easily integrated with Wordpress.
Most templates have specific pages created for Woocommerce.

Functionality is easily expanded with numerous plugins available

Checkout process could be economized and simplified

The best part about this software is the extent of customisation possible on the platform. Along with it, you can access the largest library of templates, extensions, plugins and open source codes to customise web experiences with ease.

Unlike Shopify, WooCommerce needs a longer learning curve and dependency on a web agency or development teams to make the best use of the platform. Otherwise the platform can throw you into a whirlpool or review cycles and experimentations with little incremental impact.

Their free plan is enough to get a basic e-commerce store up and running. So I would recommend WooCommerce for anyone who wants to build their e-commerce shop with a very tight budget and if they are comfortable with techie stuff.

It is not newbie friendly, you should be a tech person and the user interface is not that friendly.

Many businesses offer easy integration with WooCommerce, It is very easy to understand and use with all the tutorials and documentation, even a beginner can configure it. Being so much customizable is what I like the most in WooCommerce, You can use either Free or Paid plugins from the WordPress Repository and integrate with WooCommerce to meet any of your needs, Whether it is marketing, optimization, sale or design changes. You can almost make any type of eCommerce website with WooCommerce using the available plugins and have the best conversion rate with optimized checkout with different Plugins

Its design looks a bit out-dated. We have to use different plugins to extend the functionality that some of them also use server resources. Its own dashboard is very very out-dated, It's very bad but fortunately, we can now use WooCommerce Admin but it still needs to improve as much as Shopify. Some of WooCommerce scripts take a lot of time loading of the front-end. For which there is no option to optimize either disable of the front pages where it is not needed. WooCommerce must update their Front-End and Back-End to look more modern and simple because people just hate the old one. Official Support can tke a long time to reach you if you're stuck at some point.

We have been using WooCommerce since 6 years now. We had considered a lot of other software but none of them fulfilled our needs like WooCommerce did.
- Extremely versatile with a whole lot of customization options.
- Plenty plugins, themes and modifications available for free online.
- Proven and tested on millions of websites.
- Can hold considerable order load without clutter.
- Creates all the necessary pages and email templates on a one button click during installation.
- Tax options work without additional plugins, haven't seen that in a lot of other big name systems.
- The payment options don't take any cut for Woocommerce except the Woocommerce payment plugin.
- Has native support for digital products which is what we actually solely sell.

- The initial database set up is complicated. If the initial database is misconfigured, the whole installation will fall apart.
- Some stuff it generates is too bare, has to be extensively edited to make it look appealing.
- We used Elementor for smooth editing and creating our own pages as Woocommerce doesn't really have a good editor.
- Need maintenance continuously, or an update will break the whole website.
- Some plugins break native functionality as there are simply no "off" buttons for some functions provided by Woocommerce that you wish to replace.

Whenever you hear the word e-Commerce, it brings to your mind about buying and selling items from a web platform. But, WooCommerce has easily expanded the definition by providing flexibility to expand the eCommerce usage towards more industries. Other than tangible goods, services also can utilize WooCommerce conveniently with a few customizations or with a few side-kick plugins (Plugins that help extend WooCommerce functionality). For instance, if you run a delivery service, you can let your customers can place their delivery through the WooCommerce-based website, calculate the payment based on the distance and then pay for it online. Likewise, many other industries that provide services can utilize WooCommerce as their virtual store. Especially at a pandemic time, people rely on online platforms to fulfill their needs. They use online platforms not only to order tangible products, but also to pay for services. WooCommerce has a very easy to use user interface that is self-explanatory even for a non-technical person. WooCommerce support multiple languages, so you can set it up according to the language you utilize. If you can read and understand the language, it's just matter of time to set up your own eCommerce system.

Out of the box, WooCommerce supports sale of products and services. But to expand it to a more powerful and customized one, you need to rely on 3rd party plugins that help you expand the requirement. Some 3rd party plugins go abandoned / outdated - which might cause the functionality of the customization you've done.

WooCommerce forms the backbone of our e-commerce website and we've been using it for around five years at this point. It handles a high quantity of orders with ease and its customization options are so far-reaching that if you can dream of a plugin for the system, it probably already exists or is under development somewhere (this may have something to do with its integration into Wordpress). Recently, we've been utilizing the Subscriptions feature to more accurately manage our customers' accounts, and this feature is particularly useful for recurring transactions. Coupons are easy to create and keep track of and WooCommerce can also be linked to external systems for more accurate monetary calculations and other relevant business features.

Reporting within the system does leave something to be desired. We've found that the reporting dashboard is fairly limited, particularly for more advanced metrics that can be found in systems like Quickbooks. However, as noted above, the system can be linked to other systems using plugins and various connectors, so it's possible to extract that detailed sales data if need be. On occasion the sheer amount of customization options can be overwhelming, as well, though this is a better problem to have than a system with too few options. The various plugins just need to be managed in a coherent fashion to ensure site stability.

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!

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.

the product is a free addon extension to wordpress, and free is good
its also very easy to install and adjust settings just like you would any other wordpress extension
its offers mostly all the same features as any other ecommerce provider and you can get up and running within an hour

beause its wordpress plug in, it is subject to the same weaknesses as wordpress. That is to say it can attached by phishing schemes and such. So extra caution to be taken, especially when dealing with stores personal data of your customers.
also you will find that once you garner more sales volume, you will need a more dedicated software to handle ecommerce txs

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.

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.

It is easy to use. Inventory management is great. You can easily integrate other softwares that will make your ecommerce site fully functional.

So far, I really do not have any issues with woocommerce. They are doing a great job.

Using Woocommerce you can create simple, grouped, affiliate and variable products. If you are going to add a product with different specifications, then the variable product option is awesome. If you are going to start your own affiliate website, then you can try the affiliate product option. Woocommerce gives full features like you can see the order details in the WordPress dashboard, customer details, and everything. According to my e-commerce experience, woo-commerce is the easiest and professional plugin to design an E-commerce website.

Sometimes when we want to show the products in specific pages of our website with specific and unique options, then Woocommerce gives few code options, that we can use for this purpose. According to my point of view, the solution should be in the front-end of the dashboard instead of the back-end of the website like in the editor of WordPress. All other things of Woocommerce are awesome and easy.
