Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use WooCommerce to power our online store. Our products include physical products, drop shipped products (with integration to our fulfillment partner), digital goods, and subscriptions. It solves our needs for managing products, displaying those products in a web-based shop, filtering by product type and category, as well as handling, check out, and delivery.

Pros and Cons

Manage products in a WordPress site.
Handle digital downloads.

Extensions can get costly.
Some third party integrations are buggy.

Return on Investment

Implemented an eCommerce store in a couple of weeks.
Store has been able to grow with our business.

Alternatives Considered

Shopify

WooCommerce integrates directly with our existing WordPress site and gives me full control over the shopping process. Shopify doesn't offer the same flexibility. Also, WooCommerce is free to use a basic version, and we implemented it when we weren't ready to invest in a paid solution.

Other Software Used

Facebook for Business, Slack, Asana

Likelihood to Recommend

WooCommerce is the ideal solution if you have an existing WordPress site, know how to install and configure plugins yourself, and have the time and expertise to implement an online store. Users may consider an all-in-one alternative if they don't have the technical expertise or they want a simpler, standalone eCommerce solution that they can set up quickly.
