WooCommerce an easy, free way to start selling online
WooCommerce is used by our web design team. It is used to sell tours and promote events or sales. In selling travel, we don't have things that are purchased and shipped. The flexibility that WooCommerce has to sell products that are digital or linked to other sights is really beneficial. The products that we sell are travel packages. By using WooCommerce, we get the benefits of product custom post types, product tags and categories, and to arrange our tours in a way that the customer can search and find.
- WooCommerce is a flexible e-commerce platform that allows for many types of products/goods to be sold. In a previous role, I have used it for products and digital downloads. Now, I use it to sell travel, more of an event-type product.
- It is a free plugin for WordPress and is easy to install. Of course, there are paid upgrades and customization that you can do, but it is a really affordable way to get started in e-commerce.
- When you install the program, it installs/creates the necessary cart and check out pages if you don't already have them.
- There are a lot of features. If you are not using them, attributes, for example, you'll see them on every product backend page. A toggle in the setting would be nice to see.
- It is widely used. If you don't customize your theme a lot of shops will look like yours.

- As a free product, the initial investment is great. We are using a paid add-on to add functionality. The ROI is fine, it's a low-cost way to add products to a website.
- It has created a more robust shopping experience for our company, the searching, tagging, and categories make it easier for clients to see what we are offering.
Yes
This product replaced a custom post type used to sell our products. It was chosen because it offers log-in capabilities, should we need to grow into that type of sales.

The room to grow and customize woocommerce to the companies needs in a cost and time-effective manner is the most important reason we chose this product.
Because WooCommerce is a one-size-fits-all type of program, there is a lot of functionality we need to skip and ignore in the interfacing. We are reevaluating if this is still the way to go.

Woo for WooCommerce!
We used WooCommerce as a solution to provide a catalog of products to show our clients. It was an easy way to manage products and organize them. The various add-ons also helped with our implementation. The various functions and data elements made this an easy choice for a near turnkey solution.
- Organization -- I found it very easy to find products, sort them and display them on the front end.
- Data optimization -- It was easy to import data from Excel which saved a lot of manual effort.
- Extensibility -- If WooCommerce didn't provide a solution out of the box, the community of add-ons was its saving grace.
- The hardest part of our implementation was to implement multi-currency and multi-pricing.
