Overall Satisfaction with WooCommerce

I'm in charge of a software development department and we do projects for third-party companies. Woocommerce has been very useful when we have developed websites dedicated to virtual stores since it is very easy to use and the interface is very nice for any user without experience. It is very easy to train any new staff in our company to be able to develop sites with Woocommerce.
  • Being a WordPress plugin, it has total and absolute compatibility, especially with any WordPress theme.
  • The functionality can be expanded through dedicated plugins, which is very helpful for the creation of more complex sites.
  • It is free and there is no need to pay for licenses to use, which leads to saving money.
  • Actually, there are no important contras except for being a WordPress plugin and not a CMS dedicated only to eCommerce.
  • By default, it has the most useful functions but there are situations in which it is necessary to install plugins to obtain certain functions.
  • Many plugins for WooCommerce are paid but it's worth paying for it.
  • WooCommerce is the best option to start in the world of eCommerce. It is free and does not represent any initial negative impact.
  • The initial investment would be the purchase of a good professional-looking theme to the site, which would not really be an excessive expense either since the WordPress themes are very economical.
  • The gains that could be obtained with WooCommerce can be very large if you work in good marketing, SEO, and promotions in social networks.
WooCommerce stands out from its competitors for being very simple. I have used PrestaShop and I can say that WooCommerce is easier to use and install, the themes that can be installed are much more professional and compatible with all mobile devices. It has really been very satisfying to use this platform and implement it on many websites that we develop in our company.
WooCommerce is highly recommended for those sites that show a moderate amount of products. I would not recommend it for those sites that exceed 10,000 products as it usually decreases the overall performance and the site becomes very heavy. But for most situations, WooCommerce works in a very efficient way without performance problems.
