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.
