WooCommerce Reviews

WooCommerce is well suited for smaller companies looking to start selling their products and services online. We mainly sell apparel using WooCommerce, and the reason why we love it is using the global add-on feature. With this, you can specify size, color, style, etc. for specific product categories. Then when you create those products, all of the options are automatically applied to the product based on the category you put it in.

WooCommerce can support pretty much any website's eCommerce needs but may need heavy customization to achieve more complex and difficult use case scenarios. If you have millions of monthly users, WooCommerce tables and code will need to be heavily modified and tuned for an optimal experience. Clearing transients and other "housekeeping" data regularly is one way to improve performance.

WooCommerce is well suited for small shops. The site runs very smoothly with a small amount of products but can get a little bogged down the more products you add. I really cannot think of many situations where WooCommerce would be a poor choice other than if you have nothing to sell. The plugin is designed for ecommerce so any site that is looking to sell online is going to benefit from the ease of use included with WooCommerce.

I think WooCommerce would work well for almost all small to medium size businesses. I have a customer with 8,000 products and it works very well. It is ideal when you have NON-e-commerce related content on your website and want to use the full power of WordPress to be able to make a website that is easy to update. Some of the hosted e-commerce solutions (like Shopify) are easy to set up (especially if you have a smaller number of products) but they don't offer the extensive content management system functions and the enormous community of support that WordPress does.

I think it is well suited for a site that doesn't have a lot of products because you wouldn't have to edit all your products and have it kept in a well organized manner. It takes some work but it can be done. When I was using WooCommerce I had issues with trying to bulk edit products and I thought it should've been included in the program. Other than that, the program worked fairly well for me.

If you are planning on selling physical goods, clothing, jewelry, etc, WooCommerce has all the features you could need. However, unless you are trying to stay away from Paypal, WooCommerce is not as feature-rich for digital goods. I personally use it so I can connect it to Square, which other options don't include as part of their free tier.

WooCommerce can be recommended for small and medium scale online stores. Especially for the existing WordPress users. But for sites that need a lot of security, WooCommerce won't be a cost-effective and easy to manage platform for e-commerce. WooCommerce is a great solution for creating digital and physical product stores, but having a good web hosting provider is the main thing to manage a hassle-free online store.

It is very appropriate if you want to make an online store without having to waste a lot of time and work on a development from scratch. This platform comes with everything necessary to start the project at once. I do not see it as being appropriate if you want to make an online store that does not depend on WordPress.

WooCommerce is highly recommended for those sites that show a moderate amount of products. I would not recommend it for those sites that exceed 10,000 products as it usually decreases the overall performance and the site becomes very heavy. But for most situations, WooCommerce works in a very efficient way without performance problems.

For a WP site, WooCommerce is basically the industry standard for eCommerce. If you've got an existing site that you're adding a shop, I'd recommend doing a major redesign to make the site a WooCommerce theme site.

I know Shopify has WP integration to let you sell products from your WP site, but I don't personally have experience doing that. I know Shopify has more native payment gateways than WooCommerce does, so if using your preferred payment gateway is a hard requirement, you may be better off exploring Shopify.

Honestly I think WooCommerce is the easiest open-source e-commerce platform to get up and running vs the competition. I highly recommend it to my clients/colleagues and anyone else that asks. It makes getting a basic online store up and running easy and quick, which means you can start getting orders sooner.

WooCommerce is well suited for selling both physical and digital merchandise. Virtual products are easy to upload and sell. Everything is integrated from inventory control to sending out emails to your customers. I really don't know of any circumstances or scenarios where WooCommerce would not be well suited for a merchants website.

WooCommerce is suitable for small and medium size businesses that would like to sell their products online. It is easy to implement and manage, and it has lower operational costs compared to other platforms.

WooCommerce is great for getting set up with an E-commerce store fast. But if you aren't well versed in webdesign, it can be a bit daunting.

WooCommerce is suitable for businesses and persons who wish to start selling their products online. Being a robust, flexible and effective ecommerce platform it would suit the ecommerce needs to most small and medium traffic ecommerce websites.

Selling just about anything online. I use it for digital goods, but I know plenty of others who also sell physical goods with it and love the system.

WooCommerce by itself isn't good for selling time-based products or for booking appointments. Though there are add-ons you can purchase to make this easier. Other than that I love it.

WooCommerce is well suited in taking money and donations and feedback and such, being used for event or other types of registration, splitting money into different categories, and can be used in product purchasing as well. It's less well suited for anything outside of that scope, such as for different accounting purposes.

WooCommerce is especially well suited for maintenance of your products as well as your sales tracking. It is done in simple fashion thus there is no extra effort needed, everything is fluid and pretty much self-explained leaving no room for brainstorming how this or that option goes.

On the initial start of WooCommerce, you will have a guide with simple steps that you need to follow to get your Webstore ready to go live. On the other hand, Wishlist integration has been done very badly compared to the other segments of WooCommerce itself. It lacks functions and a more user-friendly experience.

If you need stores in multiple languages or countries (with the same stock), I'm not sure this is going to be a very good fit. I haven't had many experience with this so I can't tell.
If you need to start quickly and cheap, this is a GREAT choice, because you can start small and then customize your store as you wish. The store can grow as you grow, too. In particular, if you are the one who's going to be making the store and you know some PHP or have changed some Wordpress sites before, go with this. At least in terms of design and what you can do (landings, banners, checkout, etc.) you can look like a huge store without those resources. For scalability right away, I would make sure to have some resources for optimizing the store to fit those needs.

Starting off, great product. But should your store take off, it might behoove you to move to a system which is more tightly built and configured for both the transactional as well as speed.

It seems to be great for a simple online store. However the more features you want, the less this application may respond to needs.

Here's a few scenarios where we use WooCommerce in addition to a regular online store: 1) Participant Registration for fundraising events. One event has about 200 participants annually, and we offer a single day ticket. In the past, we have also offered custom jerseys on the site as well. This works pretty well for us and, as I mentioned, we are able to keep our service fees in house. 2) E-learning. Two clients of ours are using WooCommerce to handle the membership/purchase of online training products. There is quite a bit of additional set up to connect with Learndash and Infusionsoft, but once connected, works quite well.

No sure what scenarios it would be less appropriate, but in our case, it's a great fit. We're a relatively small e-commerce outfit, and it's been a great tool during our growth.

Woocommerce is well suited to simple e-commerce sites, where you need quick set up and easy management of products. It also can be used for more advanced eccomerce solutions, like integrations with other systems and management, however, a lot more technical knowledge and resource is needed. It is also well suited to sites that do not need a payment gateway as you can leave this step.
