Handy e-commerce plugin.
- Plug-and-play.
- Good security.
- Constantly updated.
- E-commerce solution.
- A lot of features involve the addition of more plugins.
- Accept crypto payments.
- 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

WooCommerce for all your online stores
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- 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

Easy to implement, most amazing tool with superb features for making anything virtually possible.
- 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.
- 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.

- 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.

Low cost & quality online shopping solution
- 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.
- Ability to be customized
- Strong developer network
- Strong ongoing support
- Often times requires third party plugins to achieve functionality
- 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
- 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.
