Overall Satisfaction with WooCommerce
I started using WooCommerce as the main E-commerce platform for my webshop a year ago. It easily integrated with my WordPress shop page with just a few clicks. It makes it easy to track my inventory and to add new products to the store with help of SKU number. It has neatly organizational tools for my products and product categories.
- Coupon integration: With the coupon, system integrated you can easily attract your loyal customers with some catchy coupon codes, which in return would reward them with some sort of discount or free shipping.
- Organizational tools: Everything is neatly organized when it comes to your products or product categories. As long as you know how you want to categorize your products you can do it all with help of WooCommerce.
- Insight & Sale tracking: WooCommerce has a great way of manipulating your sales, changing the statuses of your orders and getting some fully detailed reports are just a breeze.
- If you are familiar with WordPress it won't be a problem for you, but if you are not "Archived pages" for your products can be a pain, which means you cannot make unique product page but all products will be unified. There is a workaround for this issue but only for more experienced WordPress users.
- Frequent updates: This is not a bad thing, but keep in mind that you should do a backup of your database everytime you update your WooCommerce addon. This is a time-consuming task and it happens more often in my honest opinion.
- Wishlist: This functionality is hardest to use and to get accustomed to, WooCommerce should make some changes in this area for people to start using their Wishlist instead of 3rd party ones.
- There is really nothing negative worth mentioning in this section, WooCommerce offers a free product which you can test and even use without having to buy all the extra features.
- Personally, I think WooCommerce should come out with more free features since there is a ton of 3rd party apps that can replace their paid upgrades.
- Expensive upgrade prices without a great offer.
Sadly I haven't tried any other alternatives to the WooCommerce, simply because I did extensive research and I've listened to the people's opinion. There is no alternative that is possibly even close the WooCommerce level. Not to mention that WooCommerce has a 50% price drop for all their customers that need to renew their plans.
