Descriptions CMS WooCommerce

WooCommerce is a free eCommerce plugin that allows you to sell anything, beautifully. Built to integrate seamlessly with WordPress, WooCommerce is the world’s favorite eCommerce solution that gives both store owners and developers complete control.

With endless flexibility and access to hundreds of free and premium WordPress extensions, WooCommerce now powers 30% of all online stores -- more than any other platform.

The biggest limitation to using WooCommerce as a shopping cart solution for your WordPress-powered website is that it is simply a plugin. This means it only powers the e-commerce part of your website, so you'll still need to set up everything else.

Unlike full-featured e-commerce software, WooCommerce doesn't provide the infrastructure for your online store. You'll still need to find your own Web host, purchase a domain name and set up your WordPress account and website. The upside to this is that you have complete control over where you host your website and from which registrar you purchase your domain name. The downside is that this requires you to consider additional costs and time it will take before you actually get your online store up and running.

Another limitation of WooCommerce is that there may be a learning curve for some merchants. For instance, the platform doesn't have a drag-and-drop website builder, so you'll have to learn and rely on whatever options your theme and extensions offer to change your store's look and feel. (If you're already familiar with the WordPress platform, however, WooCommerce will be very easy for you to use, as it works the same exact way as WordPress does.)
