WooCommerce

Open-source e-commerce plugin for WordPress with full control.

WooCommerce is the most popular e-commerce solution in the world, powering over 36% of all online stores. Built as a WordPress plugin, it transforms any WordPress site into a fully-featured online store with product management, payments, shipping, and tax calculations. WooCommerce's open-source nature means complete control over your store's code, data, and hosting.

We use WooCommerce for clients who need full ownership of their store, complex product configurations, or tight integration with WordPress content. It is the right choice when the flexibility of open-source matters more than the convenience of a hosted platform.

What we use it for

  • WordPress-integrated online stores
  • Subscription and membership businesses
  • Booking and appointment-based products
  • Multi-vendor marketplaces
  • Complex product configuration (custom options)
  • B2B e-commerce with custom pricing

What it gives us

  • Full Code OwnershipOpen-source with complete access to your code, data, and hosting. No vendor lock-in.
  • WordPress IntegrationSeamless integration with WordPress content, themes, and plugins for a unified platform.
  • Extension MarketplaceHundreds of extensions for subscriptions, bookings, memberships, shipping, and payment gateways.
  • REST APIFull REST API for headless commerce, mobile apps, and third-party integrations.

Questions we get asked

Is WooCommerce free?
WooCommerce core is free. Costs come from hosting ($15-100+/month), premium extensions, and a payment gateway. Total cost depends on your store's needs but is typically lower than Shopify for established businesses.
Can WooCommerce handle large product catalogs?
Yes. With proper hosting, caching, and database optimization, WooCommerce handles stores with tens of thousands of products. We optimize every WooCommerce store for performance.
Is WooCommerce secure for payments?
Yes. WooCommerce integrates with PCI-compliant payment gateways like Stripe and PayPal. Your customers' payment data is handled by the gateway, never stored on your server.
WooCommerce vs Shopify, when to choose WooCommerce?
Choose WooCommerce when you need full code ownership, complex customizations, tight WordPress integration, or want to avoid monthly platform fees. Choose Shopify for simplicity and managed hosting.
