Overall Satisfaction with WooCommerce

As the CTO for a marketing firm we use WooCommerce in a few different ways. We also manage and extend its functionality regularly for our clients to include back office integrations.
  • Ease of Setup
  • Ease of Payment Integrations
  • Tons of plugins
  • Tons of plugins lol
  • Shipping modules are not robust enough
  • Many conflicts between third party plugins
  • Some times the hodgepodge of plugins really hurts margins because of the conflicts.
  • For small stores its quick to set up and start selling.
  • Lack of multi origin shipping modules and conditional shipping methods based on location.
Ease of customization and budget is why we select WooCommerce.
[Well suited for] Small business or businesses with less than 2000 products.
