Overall Satisfaction with WooCommerce
We use Woocommerce for our e-commerce website, in order to sell our services, e-learning courses, digital downloads, and subscriptions.
It has solved our need to have an e-commerce platform, managed by ourselves with many features, and keep costs under control.
We sell very few products but the feature and the very fast learning path of Woocommerce give us the possibility to have a very professional e-commerce service on our site.

- Simple to use.
- Free (at least if you use the basic features).
- Well-supported.
- Tons of plugins and addons.
- Seamlessly integrated with most WordPress themes.
- Fast learning path.
- Some plugins are overpriced.
- Very fast implementation.
- Some plugins/extensions are a little bit expensive.
- Very fast ROI: implementation cost was very low.
- Shopify and Shopify Plus
One single word: cost!
Most WooCommerce alternatives have very high monthly or annual costs. WooCommerce permits to have an implementation cost (low or high based on customization) and a very low maintenance cost.
Even if some plugins are very expensive, the maintenance cost is a small percent of the initial cost.
So in the long time term, it is better to invest in a custom WooCommerce solution than pay a monthly fee for a cloud-based solution.
