We tried to learn all the documentation as we were very limited in what we can do with woocommerce. After studying documentation, we understood that system will not be able to function sustainably. Not even one transaction went through woocemmerce, so we kindly asked for refund, but we were punished for working hard to work with woocommerce and make it work, by refusal to refund us after 30 days, which is not enough for beginners.

Handy e-commerce plugin.
WooCommerce is used to provide our e-commerce platform across our retail sector.
I also use it for the same purpose for another business due to its plug-and-play nature and ease of use.
I also use it for the same purpose for another business due to its plug-and-play nature and ease of use.
- Plug-and-play.
- Good security.
- Constantly updated.
- E-commerce solution.
- A lot of features involve the addition of more plugins.
- Accept crypto payments.
We use WooCommerce for our online store to sell books and other materials that we use for our ministry. It is only being used in one department. We use it on the same website that our main website is on. Because it is built to work on WordPress it is easy to maintain and update. I maintain the website and because it is the same platform I can easily maintain the online store as well. It allows us to have an inexpensive online store solution.
- Updating it is very easy because it runs on WordPress and you use WordPress' plugin update architecture.
- There are lots of third party plugins to add whatever functionality you need. You also only install the add-ons that you need so you don't have a very bloated system.
- There are many different payment systems that you can use with WooCommerce
- It is easy to add new products because it uses Wordpress' editor.
- It easily integrates with external services like print on demand services.
- Because of the add-ons you need to install to expand the functionality, it takes time to research each add-on
- It is not a "install and use right out of the box solution" like some online store services. You need to configure everything.
- To get a nice store you also have to configure all the other Wordpress parts like choosing a good Wordpress theme.
- It takes a lot of work to get a nice looking store

Love WooCommerce
We use WooCommerce for corporate orders and our online stores. Used across the whole organization from sales to marketing. It helps manage our products, orders etc and it is a very core part of our operations.
- Makes it easy to create products and orders.
- Makes it easy to process orders.
- Integrates very well with other apps like our CMS and automation platform.
- We'd love to see shipping rates easily calculated
- Would be great if we can easily sync to other platforms like Etsy etc easily without using a third party app
- The extra apps can be cheaper

Makes e-commerce easy for WordPress
I have implemented WooCommerce to manage multiple stores on our own WordPress multisite network of more than 1500 member blogs. Through our featured store sites, we sell both physical goods and digital products. I have also installed and helped maintain WooCommerce stores for various other website clients selling a variety of products. WooCommerce is now my preferred e-commerce plugin for any WordPress sites I develop. Using WooCommerce and its various add-ons, I am able to quickly build out an online store and easily manage product inventory and sales.
- Quick and intuitive install and configuration.
- Sales tax management.
- Shipping fee management when drop-shipping from multiple manufacturers.
- Template customization requires technical capabilities.
Our company utilizes WooCommerce to sell customized products via a WordPress eCommerce website. We needed a way for customers to locate our business online, view our product offerings, and eventually place orders. WooCommerce was an easy option since it integrates directly with our website and is free to start. There are many paid plugins that we take advantage of but everything is based on the WooCommerce platform.
WooCommerce also makes it easy to track our online sales and manage our inventory.

- Inventory Management.
- Sales Reporting.
- Processing eCommerce Orders.
- Integration with WordPress.
- WooCommerce can be dependent on other plugins.
- While the base is a good start, you need to purchase lots of additions.
- WooCommerce is not very customizable out of the box.

WooCommerce for all your online stores
WooCommerce has been a game changer in my company. The reason I use WooCommerce is because it's so flexible when it comes to payment gateways and add-ons you can implement. I currently use it for myself and clients that hire us to build their online web store.
- Most popular payment gateways.
- Many integrations.
- Many plugins.
- Back end dashboard is slow.
- Check out is to complex unless you use a plugin to remove fields when not needed.
I use WooCommerce to sell photography products and services to clients. Often I am booking photography sessions in advance of the date of the shoot, and I have specific time slots available for booking. WooCommerce allows me to make these time slots available to clients and they can book them and pay for them in advance online, from their computer or phone. Because I can combine both the payment and the scheduling, I don't have to worry about double-booking.
- Free base package means I can use it when I need to and not pay for it when I'm not using it
- I can customize the e-commerce options and integrate the calendar booking
- Payment processing is quick and easy and I can choose my provider
- I have to install plugins to add the functionality I need
- Sometimes I get conflicts between the plugins I have to install
- Sometimes customization is not straightforward

Great e-commerce solution for new and smaller businesses needing to get online quickly and cheaply
I work with clients to develop e-commerce websites, and I always recommend designing the site on WordPress and implementing WooCommerce as the e-commerce solution. Each client's use case is different, which is why I love WooCommerce; the flexibility to customize it as needed for each client is really easy. Plus, because the base software is free, my clients only need to pay additional if they need specific customization or options not available in that base package.
- Implementation is quick and straightforward.
- The free base software is often enough for most clients.
- Customization options are endless with add-on plugins.
- Because of how the WordPress database is structured, WooCommerce isn't great for large or complex e-commerce sites.
- More out-of-the-box options would be nice within the base software.
- Because add-on plugins are developed by 3rd parties, sometimes you get conflicts that break things.
WooCommerce is being used by the majority of departments in our company as a complimentary e-commerce add-on to our WordPress-based products. It is the simplest and most efficient way to enhance your website in order to become a full-fledged shopping platform. Finally, what seems the most important to our customers, secure payments gateway is included in the solution.
- Seamlessly integrates with any modern WordPress installation
- Supports WordPress themes and third-party plugins
- Order management is a breeze with WooCommerce dashboard
- Internationalization can get cumbersome is some cases
- PHP version update is causing issues from time to time

WooCommerce is awesome
For one of our business websites, we have used WooCommerce as an alternative to Shopify simply because of the cost. It has helped us build out a fully customizable eCommerce platform.
- WooCommerce is fully customizable and integrates perfectly with Wordpress.
- The interface is pretty easy to use and makes sense.
- It definitely is a bit of a project to be able to set up and takes some time.
- The interface is easy to use but could definitely be improved.
- Editing takes some time to push the changes through to the site.
We use WooCommerce on my client's website. They sell products that are available for local delivery only. They do not have a storefront; their website is the only way for customers to find them and order from them. Therefore it solves the most basic problem: it allows them to have a business. They previously used a third-party site to list their products but that site closed, so now they have complete control over their online presence.
- Easy to add/edit products.
- Easy to update stock status.
- Integrates nicely with WordPress.
- Reports are VERY basic -- it requires additional plugins.
- Search is VERY basic -- it requires additional plugins.
- Putting products on sale/offering a discount is VERY basic -- it's better if you have special plugins.
WooCommerce is currently being used to support our organization's online shop. As a host to not only our own line of products but the foundation for a variety of storefronts and individual sellers, it is mainly overseen and managed by our Marketing/Digital Events departments as it addresses the problems of providing more engaging ways to potentially market, browse, and purchase goods.
- Robust interface.
- Extremely customizable.
- Easy to integrate.
- Smoother load times.
- Better trouble shooting.
- Accessibility-friendly tagging options.
I use it for my own website and I use it for clients. It's a great free alternative to Shopify and works well with WordPress.
- Free and easy to install.
- Works with WordPress nicely.
- Very customisable.
- Difficult to use and manage.
- Old outdated looking dashboard.

Easy to implement, most amazing tool with superb features for making anything virtually possible.
The
reason for preferring WooCommerce is its stability and affordability. I didn't
have a good experience with WordPress, but if I talk about WooCommerce, it has
brought a great revolution. Because it is quite light so it is really easy to run
on cheaper hosting even. However, Magento comparatively I found to be heavier
enough [that it] required sufficient hosting. I really like its outstanding ability to integrate with a lot of other software as well as plugins. It
introduces a wide range of features that prove really helpful to web developers
and business owners. For serious budget constraints companies, it will be the
most suitable option because it is free.
- The first thing which impressed me the most is that it is free. Another thing which is most admirable is its compatibility.
- I prefer it for its integration. It is perfectly used for building multiple sites.
- One of the most appealing things is that it is open source. I think there is no other powerful E-commerce platform than this. WooCommerce is one of the matchless online shops. Its mobile application is very much beneficial that helps me in managing my store conveniently via mobile phones. It is really a good way of managing the online store. We can easily upload products, can make any modifications, and also assigning variations is easy through this.
- Moreover, the availability of thousands of plugins further helps us a lot in extending the functionality of WooCommerce so conveniently.
- I am a satisfied user of WooCommerce. I do not encounter any major issues with it yet.
- However, initially, it is quite difficult to build and manage a WooCommerce store, but if you have additional technical skills then it becomes really friendly, but this is not a big deal.
We use it to sell our souvenirs to a wider range of well-wishers. We use it to set up commerce pages on our website.
- Ability to set up commerce pages with few clicks.
- Features for multiple price, discounts, product description, etc. is what I liked.
- Easy to use data collection.
- More variety in free templates.

Woohoo, Commerce!
WooCommerce was utilized to build popup shops online for various opportunities where a pre-existing online presence was in place using WordPress sites. The platform provides an extremely short setup process to get your store online and start selling. These were short-term sales that focused on moment-based marketing, so the longevity of the storefront was not important. WooCommerce is a great and viable option for creating branded small storefronts as well as big retail storefronts.
- Very fast to implement if you have an existing website, especially WordPress.
- Offers a well-rounded suite of tools.
- Competitive pricing makes it attractive to small businesses.
- The UI/UX feels a bit behind other product offerings.
- Sometimes slows down websites when loading info.
- Improvements in mobile UI.

WooCommerce Review
My company uses WooCommerce on our website shop for the shipping and e-commerce department. It is also used for holiday orders, which customers can place orders via our website for special holiday menus. We are a multi-unit operation and the ability to have customers order online for special menus was very important.
- Search function for orders (name or email, or recipient name if shipped)
- Easy to set up
- Archive for old items
- Glitches with order notifications (emailed to managers)
- Inability to set up multiple live menus
- Reporting is not robust

The best Ecom platform hands down
WooCommerce is used to allow our readers to subscribe to our magazine (options including print or digital) and also to allow them a good deal of self service to edit their personal details, shipping addresses, billing address, and also to purchase gift subscriptions for loved ones. Through other Wordpress functions we’ve integrated Woocommerce into our entitlement system too, to unlock subscriber only content and even grant access to a subscriber only iPad app.
- Subscriptions
- Flexible checkout pages
- Content protection
- Digital and Physical Products
- Customer self service
- Clunky Default Checkout

Low cost & quality online shopping solution
I have used WooCommerce on a lot of my clients site. And one of the site is India's top Kids food online portal - MyLittleMoppet Foods. WooCommerce made it possible for naive clients to have their shop online easily with out of the box solutions related to shipping and pricing.
- Ease of setup
- Low cost, You can start online shop with almost 0$.
- Big community around it for trouble shooting problems
- Does not provide everything out of the box, for certain features you will have to install additional plugins.
- Their own addon plugins are costly.
- The Order table uses wp posts meta table, For those who have good amount of orders coming in, the table will keep getting larger by time that it might hog the server.
WooCommerce is used across our organization to manage our online storefront.
- Ability to be customized
- Strong developer network
- Strong ongoing support
- Often times requires third party plugins to achieve functionality
I've used WooCommerce in the capacity of enabling relatively small nonprofit organizations be able to sell physical products, eLearning modules and print/digital subscriptions. Prior to using WooCommerce, they were having to sell their products and subscriptions through paper. WooCommerce, with its pros and cons, was transformational. It is also clearly the go-to eCommerce solution for Wordpress based websites.
- Affordability
- Scale
- Implementation
- Cost
- UX leaves some to be desired. Very wordpress like, which is a great publishing platform but not a robust inventory system
- Complexity of training on custom fields etc.
- Limited integrations with other systems due to Wordpress infrastructure
I help clients with their WordPress sites that use WooCommerce. WooCommerce is not business software that I would use internally. Rather, it is a consumer product aimed at people who want to use WordPress as the platform for their e-commerce website. WooCommerce keeps track of both product inventory and orders. In addition, it provides templates for the presentation of products, a cart, and a checkout page.
- Keeps track of product inventory, including details of product variations such as colors and sizes if required.
- Keeps track of orders so that the shopkeeper has one place to log in and see the status and history of orders to her shop.
- Creates shop-related pages automatically. Once you add one or more products, they will automatically appear on your shop home page. Additionally, pages for viewing shopping carts and for checking out are automatically created.
- WooCommerce does not come with support for any payment gateway out of the box. Setting up each payment gateway requires an extra plugin, each of which has its own requirements for configuration. In some sense, this can't be helped, as each gateway has to be set up differently. However, WooCommerce could have provided a "wizard" to guide users through the process for the major payment gateways.
- WooCommerce does not make it easy to set up shipping solutions. This has been a major headache for my clients.
- WooCommerce does not provide printable packing slips or invoices out of the box. Although I know of a plugin that does an admirable job of adding this feature, it seems like something that should be part of the package.
- WooCommerce does not have truly first-class templates for showcasing products. In this aspect, it is way behind Squarespace and Wix.
