WooCommerce - Great option for [a] new eCommerce business, if you know website hosting

WooCommerce is great if you are looking to start an eCommerce store and are not too familiar with web development. It requires no coding experience so is great for beginners who have some website hosting experience. WooCommerce does require you to have a WordPress website that needs to be hosted. Solving hosting problems can be a bit tricky so there are other options if you are looking for a complete one-stop-shop for an eCommerce solution.

WooCommerce is extremely well suited for you if you are a small or one-person business. It makes managing all of the parts of selling online manageable but isn't perfect. As always, planning goes a long way, and while WooCommerce accommodates your needs it can take some effort. If you want a branded storefront rather than relying on Etsy or some marketplace storefront, this can be the perfect tool to get that going for you with a minimal amount of effort.

WooCommerce is well suited when a custom store is needed, because it relies on WordPress it has a great support and customization with plugins or code. Most of them are well supported by the developrs or the community itself. You also can find great examples of code to customize functions under WooCommerce documentation.
Also there are groups in Facebook, LinkedIn to provide support or guidance to WooCommerce. But the learning curve is kind of complex. Depending on the business needs.

If you want an easier and better UI, you can use Shopify, it's easier to understand, manage but less easier to customize.

Well Suited for:
  • Low cost quick online shop setup
  • Very easy to set up
  • Good support from the community for trouble shooting issues.
Less Appropriate:
  • You have to manage your own server for performance optimization
  • Based on PHP, there is always a chance of getting hacked if you use too many third party plugins
  • Does not cover everything out of the box - for an example hiding other shipping methods if free shipping is applicable. Weight based shipping etc.

WooCommerce is the clear choice for anyone who already has a WordPress site, or is committed to using WordPress for some other reason. If the shop-owner can pay for a developer, a store built with WooCommerce can be customized to any spec they can think of. That's really the selling point of WooCommerce: the large and rich ecosystem of plugins already available, along with the community of developers that can build features not provided by any plugin. On the other hand, anyone who has a few products that they want to quickly and attractively present on a website without caring about the platform is better served by Wix, Squarespace, or (for a larger set of products) Shopify.

By default, we recommend WooCommerce for almost every shop solution a client (or ourselves) needs. Ecommerce, memberships, subscription-based business, and digital downloads.

Here are some scenarios where finding another solution may work better.
  • You need an all-in-one solution for your membership site.
  • You ONLY sell digital products
  • You need something quick to test a new concept.

WooCommerce is well suited for both pro and amateur users who are needing to build an online web store. WooCommerce is so easy to install and get started, practically anyone can use.

I wouldn't use it if felt I [didn't] need a complete online store. In some cases I will use a form builder with a payment gateway.

WooCommerce is perfect for everything except when there’s a single product, especially if it’s digital only, that doesn’t require much of a website around it and only checkout options — in which case Woocommerce is overkill and something like Gumroad could probably do the job.

It also requires a Wordpress environment so if that can’t be had for whatever reason then Woo is a non starter.

But for any traditional Ecommerce environment where Shopify or BigCommerce or other platform would be considered, WooCommerce is always preferable because it’s much more customizable and flexible.

WooCommerce can be used for small stores to larger projects. Using plugins and extensions you can customize WooCommerce and WordPress to fit most use cases. If you can be creative, the sky is the limit. Some technical knowledge is needed for setup and maintenance though. Overall I would recommend WooCommerce as its functionality and ability to be implemented on most projects is amazing.

WooCommerce is well suited for pretty much any type of online store. It works really well with WordPress and has a very extensive library of extensions that you can purchase to customize your store for your needs. You could sell anything from massages to spoons to coffee bean subscriptions on it. But beware the yearly costs if you are selling anything more complicated than one simple product for one price without variations. You will definitely have to purchase extensions for that scenario.

[WooCommerce] does really well for simple stores that don't have a lot of products. It's really easy to set up and get products added so people can purchase them online. It's not the best for really complicated stores with products that need a lot of customization; you have to find 3rd-party plugins to add additional functionality to your store and sometimes those can create conflicts between one another.

WooCommerce is best for newer stores that don't need a complex solution right away, or have a more basic e-commerce store with products that are sold individually or don't require a ton of customization. It can be up and running within hours.

For large e-commerce stores with a huge number of SKUs or very high order volume, WooCommerce will begin to get bogged down managing all of the data in the database. Sometimes it's hard to find the right plugins to do the exact customization you're needing.

WooCommerce is well-suited for businesses that want to get up and running quickly and who do not need/want a lot of customizations to the out-of-the-box software. If you do want customizations, there are loads of plugins to choose from so probably whatever you want to do is possible, but be prepared for you (or a developer) to spend some time trying them out and configuring them. And even with special plugins, you might still need a developer to further customize them and/or adjust the styles so that the plugin functionality matches your site. I think it's probably quite powerful for larger sites with lots of products and lots of special features but I don't have as much experience with that so I can't say for sure (my client has 100-200 active products on their site at any given time).
