The multiple payment options and integration with my bank and paypal allowed me to receive funds quickly. Adding products and chaging pricing - also easy to use. > > **Cons**: Seems I am always updating the plug-in, and I worry about security. (Although it hasn't been an issue). If I was not super savvy on web design/Wordpress, I might have found it difficult to set up. > > I am please with being able to have an ecommerce store that works so I can concentrate on marketing and new product development. ----- ### "WOO WHO WOo" — 5.0/5 > **Keith** | *18 March 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: They do a great job of keeping the software updated and installed properly. Fee structure is in line with other software and often less in that there is no per transaction fee. Setup was easy, making new products or variants is also really easy. > > **Cons**: Freight setup is complicated but this isn’t really a problem of WOO, freight is complicated. We use a third party for freight pricing. The store adds the freight but we don’t actually use WOO for freight. > > We might have preferred a nicer look to the product listing but this works. We have never had a glitch and enjoy the simplicity of the program ----- ### "Enables any business to perform like a store." — 5.0/5 > **Elle** | *30 November 2023* | Design | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **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. But then, I'm happy to set it up for our clients which means all they need to do is edit their inventory or add new products. > > It's usually a positive experience. To be fair, it is the pricing of WooCommerce addons that puts me off sometimes. ----- ### "Very adaptable, especially for small business requirements." — 5.0/5 > **Khaled** | *31 July 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: WooCommerce customization is incredibly flexibly to customize the mode to the particular enterprise needs. As a Software Engineer, I've enjoyed the ease of integration of plugins, or the ability to alter existing plugins to meet client requirements. The variety of payment gateway plugins we've experienced includes virtually every payment gateway we've encountered, and being WordPress enabled, it was very easy for us to create a website despite being a small team. > > **Cons**: It can sometimes be a process of trial and error to set up advanced features. Sometimes, more technical details are not documented clearly, thus taking additional time to troubleshoot or look up forums. I also want, the email notification system for order updates to be more flexible to customize, it requires more code than the advanced platform should require. > > WooCommerce is a fantastic value for money and is particularly beneficial for a small business to establish an ecommerce platform without incurring large amounts at the outset. It's not flawless there's certainly a learning curve when it comes to more advanced things, but it's scalable and flexible to make up for it. When we have needed it, customer support has been responsive, which is reassuring when there are tight deadlines. ----- ### "Great free plugin and easy to use once set up." — 5.0/5 > **Athena** | *2 February 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: WooCommerce made it easy to set up our online store, update products, offer different versions of products, and accept different payment types. Any issues we encountered have always been swiftly corrected. The core plugin is free, so the value is in it from the start. > > **Cons**: Learning to set up products isn't entirely user-friendly, and takes a bit of effort to understand all the different components to it. > > I enjoy working with it. While it takes a bit to learn, at times it's absolutely worth the time to learn once you have the hang of it. ----- Page: 1 / 43\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/163450/woocommerce?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/163450/woocommerce) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
