WooCommerce Reviews

"Light, stable and affordable"

Comments: My experience with wordpress could not be better, it is light and can be easily run on cheaper hosting.

Pros: The best quality of wordpress in front of its opponents is really the huge community that makes us find plugins for practically everything we want to do, and even when we don't find it we can find someone who is willing to do it for an affordable price.

Cons: Plugins are constantly developing and can sometimes create some incompatibilities, which is normal, but the speed with which these problems are corrected is another strength of wordpress since all systems are subject to problems but quick solutions I find with wordpress.

"Best e-commerce option by mixed feelings"

Comments: I use WooCommerce daily for multiple clients' websites. My clients are happy with their e-commerce functionality and I rarely encounter issues from the webmaster side of things. You have the option to customize it to the extreme, or if your selling needs are basic, you can setup an e-commerce site quickly and very easily.

Pros: First, it's free. That's not entirely true though because anything additional you want to add will likely cost money; most add-ons are $79. Still even if you get two add-ons, $160 a year is a drop in the bucket compared to most other e-commerce.
The MAIN reason I use and recommend Woo is it's compatibility. Because it's so widely used, it can integrate with anything and everything. Every bank has a payment gateway that connects to WooCommerce (via plugin - sometimes free, sometimes $79).
It's relatively user-friendly. When you get into the settings though, there are tabs across the top, but then there are little tiny links within the tabs sometimes that aren't easily spotted.

Cons: Sometimes it feels like a monopoly - like you use WooCommerce or Shopify and the later of the two is dreadful.
The WordPress community is incredibly helpful, but you have to know where to go to ask for help.

"Anyone can affort to launch an ecommerce website"

Comments: I've been using woocommerce for a long time now. I built some e-commerce websites myself using woocommerce and supervised a team of developers building sites on top of woocommerce. There wasn't a feature we couldn't implement through the addition of plugins

Pros: It's a very easy to setup, it's free and can be expanded to include all the needed features for e-commerce. Woocommerce can be customized and extended with additional functionality using free or paid plugins.

Cons: Woocommerce lacks a bit in terms of managing a multi vendor store. You can still have this functionality by adding paid plugins however this feature is supposed to be embedded in the core of woocommerce

"A Free E-commerce platform"

Comments: The overall experience was a roller coaster where I ended up pulling my hair out of frustration or it could be a breeze. Overall, it could be the best launching platform for your eCommerce website.

Pros: The fact that it is free is the biggest advantage it has over other applications. It helps small companies look like big Enterprises. With the help of a ton of free plug-ins, it definitely adds value and functionality. Despite being free, you can customize it to a good extent. A lot of resources online to help with queries.

Cons: No product comes without its cons, with woo commerce, it's the learning curve. It has a steep learning curve. It is almost impossible to import and inventory from a spreadsheet or CSV file. It does not offer proper automation unless you pay for it.

"WooCommerce is one of the best ways to start your own online store journey."

Comments: WooCommerce is always my recommended plugin without any problem any people can easily use this plugin for making their own web or you can say for making an e-commerce store. Take your business next level with WooCommerce. This is Fast, Secure, and one of the best reliable beasts of this industry.

Pros: WooCommerce is one of the best plugins for make won e-commerce store using WordPress. Whole processes efficiently we can complete as a non-technical person without any coding knowledge. We can easily add all those products we want to sell on our online store with advanced variation options. Search Engine Optimization enabled helps us too much to easily rank a site on any search engine it enhances the chance of sold your products organically without any paid promotions. Easily any new User can set up a real-time online business using this plugin.

Cons: Genuinely says that nothing I dislike about WooCommerce because it's one of the perfect error-free Plugins for manage online products inventory genuinely says that never fetch any issue regarding this plugin. Also, the WooCommerce support team very responsive and helpful they always try to help us fix some small issues if we fetching our online store. That's why everybody comes with WooCommerce .

"WooCommerce look a bit old but works very well."

Comments: WooCommerce just helps me to create every type of feature-rich conversation-focused eCommerce website that can expensive when creating it without available options like Shopify. Although using WordPress requires some basic level of tech knowledge and to be a nice googler because you have to Google a lot of stuff to find the perfect solution and because of Free support it can take a few days of WooCommerce Officials to help you out. But I never needed their support because Google already had every solution I was looking for.

Pros: Many businesses offer easy integration with WooCommerce, It is very easy to understand and use with all the tutorials and documentation, even a beginner can configure it. Being so much customizable is what I like the most in WooCommerce, You can use either Free or Paid plugins from the WordPress Repository and integrate with WooCommerce to meet any of your needs, Whether it is marketing, optimization, sale or design changes. You can almost make any type of eCommerce website with WooCommerce using the available plugins and have the best conversion rate with optimized checkout with different Plugins

Cons: Its design looks a bit out-dated. We have to use different plugins to extend the functionality that some of them also use server resources. Its own dashboard is very very out-dated, It's very bad but fortunately, we can now use WooCommerce Admin but it still needs to improve as much as Shopify. Some of WooCommerce scripts take a lot of time loading of the front-end. For which there is no option to optimize either disable of the front pages where it is not needed. WooCommerce must update their Front-End and Back-End to look more modern and simple because people just hate the old one. Official Support can tke a long time to reach you if you're stuck at some point.

"Create an online store and own it"

Comments: My experience with this software is quite enjoyable, it is a great advantage to have this plug-in to build a professional store that allows you to sell like the big companies, taking in count that you practically own the store and you can do anything you want with it and sell anything you like, forget about being suspended or penalized it is practically yours.

Pros: - This plug-in software for WordPress is something else, it is really complete and allows you to create functional store from A-Z.
- It is extremely flexible and you can edit just about anything from shipping to payment processors, give coupons perform cross sales and up sales.
- It has several paid modules but you can purchase them as you go, plus if you are starting the basic out of the box version has enough to make you money so you can start adding more paid functionalities.
- The entry base system is free and works seamlessly with WordPress and it is fully responsive to any device.
- It works great with page builders such as Beaver Builder, Elementor and others, if you do not want to code this is a good choice.
- You have the biggest companies and shipping services having interrogations for Woo-commerce.
- It has a set up wizard that allows you to get started quickly.
- There is a lot of documentation and the woo-commerce community is huge.
- You can easily find a developer that is familiar with this system.

Cons: - The learning curve you will experience can be a bit steep specially if you do not have experience with CMS.
- There is some technical data you have to know in terms of taxes and logistics info but it can be easily sorted out with an internet search or a tutorial online.

"Powerful E-commerce Interface"

Comments: We've enjoyed WooCommerce during the last few years and have found it to be a solid e-commerce solution for our business. The system continues to improve and grow and we would recommend it to any companies looking for a powerful, customizable platform from which to launch their online sales and manage their customer base.

Pros: WooCommerce forms the backbone of our e-commerce website and we've been using it for around five years at this point. It handles a high quantity of orders with ease and its customization options are so far-reaching that if you can dream of a plugin for the system, it probably already exists or is under development somewhere (this may have something to do with its integration into Wordpress). Recently, we've been utilizing the Subscriptions feature to more accurately manage our customers' accounts, and this feature is particularly useful for recurring transactions. Coupons are easy to create and keep track of and WooCommerce can also be linked to external systems for more accurate monetary calculations and other relevant business features.

Cons: Reporting within the system does leave something to be desired. We've found that the reporting dashboard is fairly limited, particularly for more advanced metrics that can be found in systems like Quickbooks. However, as noted above, the system can be linked to other systems using plugins and various connectors, so it's possible to extract that detailed sales data if need be. On occasion the sheer amount of customization options can be overwhelming, as well, though this is a better problem to have than a system with too few options. The various plugins just need to be managed in a coherent fashion to ensure site stability.

"Great entry level product for your ecommerce ventures"

Comments: overall, we were happy to start our ecommerce journey using wordpress + woocommerce. It allowed for easy facilitation of sales and commerce transactions. Woocommerce back end allows for well presented products our webpage, and gave a nice polished finish for end users.

Pros: the product is a free addon extension to wordpress, and free is good
its also very easy to install and adjust settings just like you would any other wordpress extension
its offers mostly all the same features as any other ecommerce provider and you can get up and running within an hour

Cons: beause its wordpress plug in, it is subject to the same weaknesses as wordpress. That is to say it can attached by phishing schemes and such. So extra caution to be taken, especially when dealing with stores personal data of your customers.
also you will find that once you garner more sales volume, you will need a more dedicated software to handle ecommerce txs

"Without coding knowledge best plugin for e-commerce!"

Comments: Personally, I realized great experience with WooCommerce. It comes with two different plans one is free and another one is paid. It's a very secure and user-friendly plugin available in the market for WordPress. We can easily integrate any SEO plugins with it, SEO that helps us too much to rank a website. Also, the product adding system of it very easy for admin.

Pros: WooCommerce plugin offers many types of payment gateway all of those are very secure. Also, It's available for free and paid plans to use. To use it just required technical knowledge and WordPress knowledge. It's very easy to set up an eCommerce website, Online Courses, B2B platform, or more. Just need to add it in WordPress. It's integrated into the WordPress theme. And the most amazing point of it is that the community has it worldwide.

Cons: Maybe has some issues are in WooCommerce. But I cannot found any issue to dislike WooCommerce. It's easy for a non-technical person, not required any coding to create an online shop. Also, many free and paid plugins are available to add new features.

"E-commerce platform, where your imagination is the limit."

Comments: I've seen million-dollar businesses with company build on WC, but is also great for small $100/month businesses.

Pros: WooComerce is open. The sky is the limit, endless possibilities, million of plugins waiting on the repository.

Cons: Sometimes those plugins don't work with other plugins. There's no hard styleguide from WC, so plugins might be hard to use.

"The ONLY E-Commerce Solution for WordPress"

Comments: Being able to setup e-commerce solutions quickly is key in my business model. If I have a client who wants to "sell a few things online," I shouldn't need to tack on $5,000 to their project cost just to do so. The fact that I can install and setup WooCommerce, with PayPal, and a handful of products in less than an hour means I can offer basic e-commerce solutions to my clients at an extremely affordable price. And when my clients are happy, they know they can trust me for future needs AND they tell others about me (in turn building my client base).

Pros: I know there are other e-commerce solutions available for WordPress, and I'm sure they work just fine, but WooCommerce is the only plugin I look to when needing e-commerce on a website. In my opinion, the fact that they are owned by Automattic (the company behind WordPress) is a huge plus, because you know the product will ALWAYS work with WordPress and won't be dropped by a developer who "just got tired of doing it." In addition, they have a vast array of premium extension to further expand on the base functionality (from different payment gateways to subscription management, online bookings, and tons more). The free plugin makes online selling accessible for everyone, and it's easy to collect payments immediately via PayPal. Every extension I've ever purchased has worked nearly flawlessly, and when it doesn't, support is always immediately available via chat. Product support and reliability are two of my biggest deciding factors when looking at solutions for my clients.

Cons: Some of the really great extensions are on the pricey side (at least, that's how some of my clients feel). Shelling out $250/year for online bookings or subscription services can be a hard pill to swallow for some small/micro businesses who are creating their first website. However, I would argue that their extensions are extremely affordable when compared to custom code development, and ideally the small business would be quickly and easily recouping that annual cost through the service the extension is providing.

"Good, but with flaws"

Comments: We use WooCommerce as the default web shop for all websites we make for our customers. As it is simple to set up we do not waste time creating custom products for smaller companies that only need a simple, cheap solution. It is also very easy to use so we have very little to do with those web shops once they are set up. It is a great plugin, and if parts of it weren't hidden behind high-price plugins, it would be perfect.

Pros: WooCommerce is a complete out-of-the-box solution. You install it, and it has basic functionality good enough to run a web shop. I also love the fact most professional themes come with WooCommerce support so it is very easy to create a visually attractive website with just a few clicks.

Cons: There are extensions upon extensions of functionality that are paid for. There are some functions that should be a part of WooCommerce itself that are locked behind extension paywalls. Some of them seem like a cash grab - like the ability to import or export products properly, or add product inquiry options. I ended up creating snippets of code that I use to circumvent those overly expensive plugins.

"The best, fastest and easiest way to get an online shop"

Comments: With woocommerce I was able to have my own store and be able to offer products online, that certainly solved many things in my business because now I can offer them around the world

Pros: Woocommerce is for me, the best plugin that can exist. It allowed me to have my online store without much effort in an easy and fast way. What I like most is the amount of options available for the items you want to add, you can have items with different prices, presentations, sizes, etc. Another of the things I like most is the variety of payment methods that you can configure to offer your visitors and potential customers, from a credit card to online payment platforms. In one tool, you get everything you need to have a professional online store to offer your products in the world.

Cons: In general, woocommerce has everything you need and it is quite simple to configure and implement, however, there is only one thing that I would like to improve, the customization options in the store design can become so complicated that If you do not have knowledge of web development you can not have the design you want and you must comply with the one that comes by default or according to the template you choose.

"WooCommerce - Simply the best eCommerce solution for Wordpress"

Comments: On implementation of WooCommerce for my business, I got my first sale in 1 day. The website became professional looking and instilled full confidence in my buyers. Its the perfect solution!

Pros: - WooCommerce is a free solution to set up an online store. This is the biggest advantage of this platform.
- Just a one click install on WordPress provides you a full storefront instantly with all options integrated.
- There are basically choices to integrate any and all payment gateways. Some aren't free, But the most commonly used PayPal and Stripe which I use as well, are free.
- Has themes like Astra which make the site beautiful, responsive and mobile friendly.
- Has thousand of free and paid extensions to use with the store to enhance functionality.
- It is simply unparalleled in functionality and with access to root coding as well, you can't question it.
- Hooks and shortcodes make its use perfect for developers.

Cons: - Some plugins range from $79 to $99 a year which is exorbitant for small businesses and start ups.
- Some functions that can be included upfront have to be added via code snippets or plugins.
- AJAX implementation isn't selected by default.
- Doesn't work with some themes.
- Templates included by default are poorly designed.

"Highly Customizable E-Commerce Platform"

Comments: We have migrated some clients to WooCommerce from other platforms, such as Magento. The ability to rapidly customize and deploy new store iterations was night and day vs older legacy platforms like Magento.

Pros: WooCommerce is easy to setup, and has a great out-of-the-box feature-set. What sets WooCommerce apart from its competition is the ability to customize nearly every aspect of the software via custom PHP functions, free & paid plugins, etc.

Cons: WooCommerce is lacking some intrinsic functionality vs Shopify and some of the other premium eCommerce platforms.

"The best platform for building online stores"

Comments: Woocommerce is by far the best platform for medium sized online stores.

Pros: Woocommerce has allowed us to build professional online stores for our clients with minimum costs. Due to its huge community, for almost all of the features you might need, you can simply use the right plug in. Minimum coding is required.

Cons: Depending on how you have built your online stores, after a woocommerce version upgrade, a lot of things can break. You need to be very careful before upgrading to a new version.

"Compatibility with Popular Drag and Drop Wordpress Theme Builders"

Comments: Works pretty much out of the box with simple setup steps to get you started. The compatibility with drag and drop builders make this especially desirable for front-end developers and designers of which there is a large amount of support and help.

Pros: Woocommerce is built for people who like to just focus on selling and not trying to fight with code or complex menus. Although, if you are a programmer or web developer then you will find that Woocommerce supports a lot of Drag and Drop Theme Builders and is easy to customise and redesign to your heart's content. The third party market for additional plugins is extensive and well supported with additional support forums offering code snippets and fixes for extending the capabilities of connectivity and marketing.

Cons: I would like to see more conditional logic features built in. I am aware that additional plugins could probably do this job, however this seems like something that should already be available. This feature would give greater control to what visitors see when visiting certain pages.

"Need improvement"

Comments: Challenging yet, it okay because it is free

Pros: It’s free which is a benefit for a small business

Cons: Can be very confusing with all the thousand plugins you must use to keep it running. It updates to a new version to much No customer support

"WooCommerce"

Comments: You can customize whatever you imagine. Lot of support available online. It is SEO friendly and code optimization.

Pros: An excellent open source platform to setup your website. Scalable and friendly interface. Most importantly it will not charge for transaction fee while using third party payment integration.

Cons: Bit complex for new bee unless you have some coding knowledge. As it works with mostly WordPress ai there is no built-in security feature, you have to manage it yourself.

"all what i need"

Comments: overall woocommerce is pretty plugin the process design is so simple and functional achieve

Pros: it is very stander to its functionality , process of products to cart to checkout is magical , the ability to choose from process regular or ajax is very helpful

Cons: it variant design need more dynamical way i mean variants need to have dynamic set for pricing as the way in shopify

"Why is there always something to buy!"

Comments: It's a very good software to create a basic store however you need to plan to invest money if you want to do anything special with the software because extensions are costly.

Pros: I like the possibility of what you can do with Woocommerce. There a lot of extensions that allow you to set up a web site in nearly endless possibilities. You can customize the software to fit your needs.

Cons: The extensions store prices are very high and must be paid yearly. The free Woocommerce can set up a very basic store however the cost to do anything beyond a basic store can become very costly and there is always another add-on they want you to download.

"WooCommerce Review"

Pros: WooCommerce allows the developer to build an eCommerce store with no or fewer code efforts with an extensive range of extensions and reports. I have been working on WooCommerce for years and found it very easy and useful to build eCommerce stores with big community support.

Cons: Wocoomerce should include images in the variation of products.

"Great and free but developer and plugins not included"

Comments: I like woocommerce because as a developer I can self service and don't feel limited but I wouldn't recommend it to the average non tech savvy person trying to get their e-commerce off the ground themselves.

Pros: You can make your store just about anything without woocommerce, there isn't much you can't do.

Cons: WooCommerce satisfies only the most basic of needs out of the box and requires a developer and many plugins anytime you want to add a feature.

"Professional E-Commerce Plugin to create an Online Store"

Comments: I have build an online store website using WooCommerce, I also do SEO for my products. Adding products in a WordPress website using WooCommerce is really easy. My overall experience is awesome with WooCommerce therefore I love WooCommerce.

Pros: WooCommerce is one of the best WordPress Plugins that allows you to design and build a beautiful online store. You can add products in that online store website and you can assign them in different categories. You can create coupons for your customers, so they apply the coupons and they get the discount. You can add different payment gateways including cash on delivery.

Cons: I found never any issue in WooCommerce even when I edit some technical things from the coding. All features are easy to understand and use. There are no cons in WooCommerce.
