The flexibility is great, and SO MANY PLUGINS are wonderful. I love that it's universal and that I can integrate it with so many other services. > > **Cons**: The UX/UI is SO overwhelming when starting out. It takes quite a while to get the hang of it. > > Once you get past the learning curve, it's rock solid. I've used it for selling services online and it works like a charm. ----- ### "My go-to solution when building eCommerce" — 4.0/5 > **Alexandra** | *30 August 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: When working with woocommerce, there is a lot of flexibility on what you what t your website to be. Whether you are selling virtual or physical products, it’s the best solution for building eCommerce with Wordpress. There is a lot of extra plugins that give great flexibility in all the needs you might encounter depending on the type of business or eCommerce you have. > > **Cons**: It’s not a beginners system. You need to understand how to set it up correctly as there is room to a lot of confusion, specially when it comes to shipping, product variables, payment methods. The plugin does not give all solutions in one, and you need to have experience in setting up the correct way. > > It’s my go-to when building eCommerce websites because its flexibility. Although it requieres experience, it lets you set up almost every type of business that wants online payments. It can be catering services, an organization with member discount, monthly subscription style of service, traffic school, or normal physical product eCommerce website. It’s helpful when the website has very specific requirements. ----- ### "Enables any business to perform like a store." — 5.0/5 > **Elle** | *30 November 2023* | Design | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Woocommerce allows even the smallest of shops to push their products across the internet. > > **Cons**: It can rarely be used "out of the box". It takes a lot to set up and isn't for unknowledgeable users. But then, I'm happy to set it up for our clients which means all they need to do is edit their inventory or add new products. > > It's usually a positive experience. To be fair, it is the pricing of WooCommerce addons that puts me off sometimes. ----- ### "Excellent for small to medium sized organisations" — 5.0/5 > **Emma** | *13 February 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: WooCommerce offers great value for money and a flexible service. It is free to install and you can customise options to your preference. It is easy to use and set up. WooCommerce supports many different payment options and methods, supporting major credit cards, digital wallets, and bank transfers. We have never experienced any payments being declined using WooCommerce which is vital to ensure smooth sales and maximising income. > > **Cons**: To get the best out of WooCommerce and all the features, you do need to get the add on extensions. These are paid for and require some technical expertise to maximise their efficiency and functionality. It works fine for our smaller set-up as we do not require many of these additional features. > > My overall experience with WooCommerce is a positive one for the modest size of our organisation and in-house technical knowledge and experience. ----- ### "Very flexible and easy to use" — 5.0/5 > **Tim** | *25 May 2025* | Import & Export | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The flexibility, huge userbase that makes sure there is almost always a plugin for something you want and the fact that almost any important tool can integrate with it. > > **Cons**: The fact that some features are not standard and you need to buy plugins in order to get these specific features. > > It has been great. I have been working with WooCommerce for over 10 years. I started using it in school (ICT education), my job and now for my own webshops. I like that fact that for everything there is an additional plugin created by themselves, or 3rd parties. ----- Page: 1 / 43\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/163450/woocommerce?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/163450/woocommerce) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
