What is WooCommerce?
Developing a WooCommerce site can make online selling processes easier for business owners. WooCommerce is an open-source WordPress plugin that allows businesses to sell products and services from their Websites. Designed and developed by WooThemes, it is a user-friendly eCommerce platform, making it the platform of choice for many online store owners.
Why use WooCommerce?
WooCommerce can help businesses start with eCommerce and can offer great flexibility to larger businesses, because it is:
Widely supported
Because it is WordPress plugin, WooCommerce is widely used and supported. This means that web developers and designers specialised in WooCommerce are relatively easy to find, along with support from the WordPress community.
Flexible
To the contrary of other eCommerce platforms, WooCommerce is suitable for different types of eCommerce sites. This includes not only online stores selling physical products, but also websites selling software, services and subscription services.
Content-inclusive
Because WooCommerce works with WordPress, it is a lot easier to implement a proper content strategy. WordPress websites are primarily designed for content, while major eCommerce platforms may struggle to include blogs and text-based pages.
Integrations & features
WooCommerce comes with a ton of plugins and easily-integrated online shopping features, such as shopping carts, payment gateways, marketing and reporting tools.
User-friendly
Based on the WordPress Content Management System, WooCommerce benefits from the user-friendly WordPress interface. This allows business owners to manage their store without extensive technical skills.
Scalable
While WooCommerce is ideal for Startups and small businesses, it can be scaled to bigger online stores with a bit of development work. Big businesses can still reap the benefits of the WordPress interface!
