WooCommerce is a WordPress plugin that will take care of the eCommerce
aspect of your WordPress website. All you have to do is install WordPress and
then integrate WooCommerce within it. WooCommerce creates product pages
and integrates a shopping cart and checkout process solution on your
WordPress site.
WooCommerce boasts about powering a staggering 30% of eCommerce sites on
the web, and with good reason. It is good for store owners that want to have
control over their site, and for developers that want to create ideal eCommerce
sites for their clients.
Go to the “WooCommerce” menu and click on features to review them. You will
find that WooCommerce is built for WordPress and reaches a worldwide
community that it’s great for selling ANYTHING. It is open source, so you can
experiment with it, and its mobile friendly.
It will integrate an intelligent shopping cart system with preinstalled payment
gateways. You can control every aspect of the checkout process, giving you the
tools to enable or disable guest shoppers, for example. You can also set which
countries and currencies your eCommerce site supports.
It can automatically deduct taxes, manages cart behavior, and calculates
shipping prices while making multiple shipping methods available. It also has
social interaction capabilities like discount coupons or codes and product
reviews.
The great thing about managing your eCommerce store from WordPress is that
it is self-hosted, which means that you won’t run into bandwidth issues and you
can choose your domain name on the platform.
