Overall Satisfaction with WooCommerce

Being a WordPress design agency, WooCommerce is our go-to solution for our internal subscription and payment needs and also our client's e-commerce needs. There are situations where there are better solutions but we find that [for] 90% of what we need WooCommerce works for us and is either free or very low cost.
  • It works out of the box.
  • It's easy to set up for beginners.
  • It's robust enough to handle large stores.
  • There are enough add-ons out there it's hard not to find a prebuilt solution for your needs.
  • Without some work it can be slow.
  • It should contain membership and subscription features as default.
  • Some of the options for adding variations can be tricky or confusing for new users.
  • It's solved a custom subscription billing system we couldn't find anywhere else.
  • We were able to save thousands for some of our customers over other solutions.
  • WooCommerce has been great to test quick ideas for no cost.
If you want something customizable, a platform you own and can control, then going with a WooCommerce/WordPress solution is what you want.

Though a solution like Shopify can be great, you don't have as much control over how things look and it can get expensive quickly if you're not careful.

By default, we recommend WooCommerce for almost every shop solution a client (or ourselves) needs. Ecommerce, memberships, subscription-based business, and digital downloads.

Here are some scenarios where finding another solution may work better.
  • You need an all-in-one solution for your membership site.
  • You ONLY sell digital products
  • You need something quick to test a new concept.
