For Ecommerce platforms, WooCommerce offers the best value for money by far.

I have been building and running many of my own Woocommerce stores over the past 15 years, personally designing, building and publishing the stores as well as sourcing the products, managing the logistics, order processing and customer care.
Over the past 5 years,, I have been doing the same for clients, including SEO and online marketing of the Woocommerce stores.

Pros

The basic Woocommerce platform delivers all the features needed to run a successful e-commerce shop for most industries or niche services.
The thousands of specialist plugins that expand on this basic platform make it suitable for any specialisation you can think of.
On top of it all, the platform is free and most plugins have a free tier that is sufficient for most situations.
All you need to add is hosting, a domain, some WordPress knowledge and time and you can build a powerful ecommmerce store withouot the high monthly rates of competing platforms.

Cons

You need to invest some time in learning the basics of the platform if you want to build you own store. Alternatively, you can engage a WordPress developer at reasonable rates to build your site.

Great Ecommerce Tool

I love WooCommerce. I use it to build my Ecommerce website and those of my clients. Processing sales, marketing using coupons and it’s integration to many email marketing software makes it even amazing.

Pros

I love how seemless it is to use WooCommerce with WordPress. It’s easier to use it to collect payment and easy to use.

Cons

The only cons I have is that you need to buy some more tools if you need to use some advance features but most of those features are just addons.

WooCommerce - Meh…

Frustration, angst which led to wondering - why isn’t there a competitor solution for my Wordpress sites?

Pros

It works with Wordpress. But requires additional plugins to allow functionality that one would think was built in already

Cons

Because it’s a server side software solution, it can be a dog to use.

As good as it gets for Wordpress e-commerce

To be honest it really works and the plugins available to customize are many. My only issue es mostly with Wordpress itself as a platform can be cumbersome to manage for e-commerce through woocommerce que you start to get more traffic or have more specific needs.

Pros

The best option for e-commerce using Wordpress

Cons

Wordpress as an e-commerce platform is not the most robust choice.

Don't. Just turn around and run away. Very, Very Fast.

I wish I had never been introduced to WooCommerce. I wish I had listened to my mentor and spent the money on a better product rather than be cheap like I was. I lost so many hours of my life using WooCommerce.

Pros

Logging in is pretty simple. Other than that, I absolutely despise WooCommerce

Cons

Everything. Literally, everything. The fact that I can't get ANY support is most frustrating.

WooCommerce, What a Time Saver, Woo Hoo

Overall we love using WooCommerce for our website, our web designer highly recommended it and it hasn't failed us yet!

Pros

WooCommerce has made our lives easier when starting our coaching business. The WooCommerce payments and products functionality allows us to use subscriptions to easily accept payments from clients without reminders or manual processes.

Cons

We've only been using it for about 6 months, I would say the user interface needs some work. It doesn't look professional and would need a UX overhaul.

Cons

Its that it always need to be updated . Some updates are not necessary for other merchant but to keep your website stable you need to thus create lot of back end admin I don't like.

WooCommerce, a trusted e-commerce platform for all your online sales needs

Very solid, reliable system that continues to deliver results even after years of use.

Pros

Right out of the box, WooCommerce is a solid, good system with plenty of options. But even if you need a special feature, there are tons, tons of modules/add-ons/extensions available. I believe it is a system used by countless companies, and I am one. I have used it for over 6 years and continue to use it. The system works well and continues to get better. I have even used it with various payment processing platforms and no issues at all.

Cons

I hope that they continue to expand the features and begin to add more AI functionality, and even include product review videos, that would be nice.

WooCommerce and Wordpress is a perfect mix for a powerful online shop. Because is compatible with WordPress plugins you can easily use SEO plugins, speed optimization plugins and security. With the help of WordPress themes you can customize the design without big costs.

Pros

Using WooCommerce I converted my Wordpress website into a powerful online store. Setting up the plugin is straightforward and you don't need any special programing skills. Works very good with other WordPress plugins and themes ... and there are a lot of them.

Cons

I can't say is perfect, but there are no cons worth mentioning here.

Enables any business to perform like a store.

It's usually a positive experience. To be fair, it is the pricing of WooCommerce addons that puts me off sometimes.

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.

WooCommerce if you want to sell

A great WordPress plugin, transform a simple WordPress website into a powerful online shop. Easy to secure and optimize for SEO and speed.

Pros

WooCommerce and WordPress is the perfect combination to sell online. Been using this plugin for a few years now and with every update is getting better and better. Adding plugins to the WordPress setup increases your shop security (with security plugins) and my favorite, increase SEO for every product available. For customization you have endless possibilities, creating and customizing a WordPress theme is quite easy, or you can find already made themes at reasonable prices.

Cons

No cons found for WooCommerce until now.

WooCommerce User review

Overall, Woo Commerce is an amazing platform and a very reliable choice in the e-commerce space. One of it's advantage as a popular system is that it has a large and active community of users and developers that can easily provide knowledge and support.

Pros

I would say that Woo Commerce is very cost effective which is ideal for small and medium business like our company. The order and customer accounts management system is efficient and runs very smoothly.

Cons

At first glance, the user interface a looks a bit archaic and complicated at the same time. I supposed the design of the UI can still be improved. The required regular updates to maintain security and compatibility is helpful but at the same time affects our productivity negatively.

A good platform but I would pick a cloud solution.

I've been managing a WooCommerce store for a major outdoors venue in Italy handling subscriptions and event bookings for the last 5 years.

During the load-heavy season a one-server LEMP stack is not enough and I highly recommend to switch to a separate database server.

For smaller projects and on a tight budget I would recommend WooCommerce.

Pros

Very good for starters.
On a more advanced level it offers you great flexibility and customization options but you need development skills.

Cons

If you do not perform proper server optimization it could be very heavy to handle.

I love WooCommerce!

I love using WooCommerce. It's the best store platform I've used for a long time. It's easy to customise it for what I need and integrates with a lot of other platforms and payment providers to make selling easy. There's a lot of plugin options that range from free to paid to cover what you want to offer all in one place. The app also makes it easy to track sales and update customers on dispatch and posting details etc. Overall I'd 100% recommend WooCommerce.

Reasons for Choosing WooCommerce

The pricing for Squarespace kept going up while the features stayed largely the same. I made the decision to switch to wordpress for my site and so installing WooCommerce was a no brainer.

Squarespace

Reasons for Switching to WooCommerce

I decided not to go with Shopify because, while it was easier to set up and use straight away, there was a monthly fee to pay from the beginning and I wasn't sure how much I'd use it. I also needed to move my main website and wordpress with WooCommerce allowed me the flexibility to set up my site and have different plugins depending on what I needed from my site. I also wasn't sure how popular my online store would be and not having to pay a monthly fee with WooCommerce was a more attractive option.

Good product but more free features needed

It's done the job but hopefully a better competitor arrives on the scene which will include more features for a fraction of the price (price includes for features not included for free).

Pros

The integration with Wordpress which is what we use for CMS. It's quite simple once setup, and allows a smooth customer journey from entering the store to purchasing.

Cons

The issues from updates; always have to backup (good procedure anyway) as well as the security bloatware required in order to setup/use WooCommerce.

Great experience using Woocommerce (and I've tried all the others!)

I have tried various ecommerce platforms, but none of them compare to Woocommerce. Whenever I set up websites for clients, I always choose Woocommerce for their ecommerce needs. Based on my extensive experience testing popular ecommerce platforms, I can confidently say that Woocommerce is the best option. I highly recommend it, especially for beginners or users with limited technical ability. It is powerful, comprehensive, and works flawlessly. Throughout all my usage, I have never encountered any glitches or disappointments.

I love how reliable, easy-to-use, and beginner friendly it is - in particular for an experienced WordPress user.

Cons

It is a bit on the pricey side if you want to add any of their featured plugins.

Good if you have wordpress and time to fine tuning

The overall experience is good, we managed to do a really good looking store with top features at a really low cost and full customizable

Pros

Is really easy to install, integrate really well with wordpress and lot of plugins available

Cons

It could get slow as wordpress is heavy and this add more load, but if you are smart doing layers of caching you should be ok

Easy to start, hard to optimise

Pros

Is the 2nd fastest tool to create an ecommerce in less than 1 hour.
You are in control of your checkout process and your money, and you are not forced to pay fees on every sell

Cons

You need to pay a lot of plugins or have your coders in order to optimise everything. There is a lot of things you cannot do without coding

Best open source platform with over 60,000 plugins

It is far easier to use out of the box while still allowing control and customization than any other platform.

Pros

Legible code, easy to understand and customize

Cons

Frequent updates forcing constant development of customized code to ensure compatibility. To be fair, this is largely due to outside influences like hackers and cyber crooks targeting wordpress as a whole.

WooCommerce is the perfect tool for every online shop. It is easy to setup and add your products and easy to manage the orders.

Pros

WooCommerce is the best plugin for everybody who needs an online shop. One of the biggest advantages using WooCommerce is that it uses WordPress platform which is very versatile and customizable.

Cons

There are no cons from my point of view.

WooCommerce for commerce

Overall WooCommerce is a powerful plugin that you can integrate with WordPress and other plugins to create a powerful and well optimized shop.

Pros

The most powerful feature of WooCommerce is its integration with WordPress. Creating a theme with a page WordPress builder or just buying one is easy and save you a lot of time. WordPress plugins for SEO, speed optimization and security help creating a powerful website where you can sell products and services.

Cons

With multiple items you webhosting needs to be powerful.

Woocommerce gets the job done, cheap! (unless you need a lot of addons)

We've used woocommerce for years to manage our inventory and sell our goods, merch, and services. It's been very helpful, particularly for anything we need to ship.

Pros

Woocommerce is enterprise grade software that is free/cheap. You can get started for free and buy the official addons for a relatively low price if you need them.

If you have a developer like we do, you can extend the functionality for no extra cost. It gets the job done nicely.

Cons

Could have more out-of-the-box functionality.

Cheaper and more extensible. Offered us more control.

An "easy and free" ecommerce solution

Generally positive, except in complex projects which require an ecommerce CMS instead of just a plug-in

Pros

Its a fast and free solution to launch an ecommerce, it has a great community and a lot of 3rd party integrations. It is based on Wordpress so should not have a great learning phase.

Cons

Like any module based system, some basic functionalities require a 3rd party module, and it can be expensive if the project has several requirements. Also, if you need to fully customize your store, this might not be your best option.

The most flexible ecommerce platform around

I'm a big fan of WooCommerce and use it for a number of client ecommerce stores.

Pros

WooCommerce is open source and built on top of Wordpress, so it is the easiest and most cost-effective way to add ecommerce to a Wordpress website. It is also incredibly flexible, with a huge number of plugins and code snippets that can extend and alter its fuctionality.

Cons

The user interface is a little dated compared to the likes of Shopify. It is still pretty simple to use, but it's interface does not feel as modern or look as clean as Shopify's platform.

Alternatives Considered

BigCommerce and Shopify

Reasons for Switching to WooCommerce

WooCommerce is more flexible than any alternative and can often be a more cost-effective solution compared to the hosted platforms like Shopify, where sometimes you need "apps" for relatively simple features.

Freemium ecommerce that racks up quickly.

For simple ecommerce setups, WooCommerce is smooth and easy to use. Again, if you have any sort of custom (even conventional) shipping, coupons, or store setups, you're stuck paying for extras that add up pretty quickly.

Pros

For the most basic of ecommerce setups, you can't beat free for Woocommerce. It's made by the same people that make WordPress, so it integrates very smoothly.

Cons

If you want to do anything of any complexity at all, you're stuck either writing a bunch of code yourself or paying yearly fees on their plugins.

Woocommerce itself is free and works within the confines of your own site, while Shopify forces you into its infrastructure, for better or worse.

WooCommerce

Pros

I cant see a way to sell online without WooCommerce. There are 2 main features that i love, it combines very good with WordPress plugins, this can increase SEO, website speed and many more. Second feature are the themes, there are so many already made themes or builders to choose from.

Cons

Hosting is important for big shops with many products. A feature to inform that you need more resources to operate will be a nice feature.

Should you choose WooCommerce?

Pros

Semi-"native" to WordPress environment.
Great for beginners with a small inventory and a limited number of unique SKUs.
It's a good choice for people who will outsource inventory management and/or their ecom-web-dev.

Cons

Ease of use is nearly non-existent, great for low-level customization ecom stores.

Overall really good it surprised by the impressive variety of extensions and plugins.

Pros

Like how you can see where the source of the conversion came from, and how easy it is to see the analytics, and to understand what is selling the best.

Cons

User experience could be improved, as I feel like it is not as user friendly compared to other platforms

WooCommerce

Integrating WooCommerce with WordPress was the best decision, developers made Woo intuitive and easy to use for everyone.

Pros

WooCommerce was the best way for me to manage and sell on my website. It is easy to setup and and install on your WordPress site. You dont have to have a lot of knowledge to manage products and orders. Another important feature is its integration with different plugins for security, payments and SEO.

Cons

Having a lot of products and plugins that integrate with WooCommerce requires powerful hosting.

Affordable ecommerce platform

Overall it's good. There are quite a few compromises (ease of use, inventory tracking) but if you need to run an ecommerce store on a small budget, this is a great option.

Pros

It's a great entry point platform, given its open source and free to start using.

Cons

The user interface can be improved and made easier to use. Given the free nature of the app, it's also likely to attract small solo business users who may not be tech savvy, so it could do with more work on the UI front.

Secondly, for an ecommerce tool, it should really have better inventory management features built in.

Create your own store with Woocommerce

I enjoyed using Woo commerce and creating my store. However, the price just got to be too much each month and I wasn’t making enough sales.

Pros

I really enjoyed the software because you were able to create your own store with the product you want to sell. WooCommerce makes it easy to build a personal store on their platform using their tools.

Cons

I did not like the monthly price so I had to shut down my store.
