WordPress – WooCommerce
For someone who has no programming knowledge it is difficult to understand the process of building an E-Shop.
WooCommerce is a plugin that snaps into WordPress and allows the developer to develop the online store to your own needs.
In this article we will talk about the following:
- What is WooCommerce?
- Is Woocommerce WordPress?
- Advantages of WooCommerce.
What is WooCommerce?
WooCommerce is an eCommerce plugin for WordPress. If your website runs on WordPress, WooCommerce allows you to easily create an online store that integrates with your website.
It's WooCommerce WordPress
Not exactly:
- WordPress (sometimes called WordPress.org), is an open source content management system developed by the WordPress Foundation.
- WordPress.com is the free hosting / blogging service managed by Automattic Inc.
- The WooCommerce is linked to the WordPress software, which is also managed by Automattic Inc.
If you have created a WordPress account with your business brand website, you can easily use WooCommerce to start your store.
Advantages of WooCommerce
As a WordPress plugin, it is based on very simple logic for its management, and this is one of the main reasons that even its most novice users choose it.
Another great advantage that WooCommerce has is that it is free to use as it is part of WordPress.org. WooCommerce comes pre-installed with basic payment methods such as PayPal, bank transfer, cash on delivery and now integrated the Stripe.
Within the WooCommerce environment we have the possibility to define the rules that will apply to the transport of our e-shop. So if we want there to be a charge for shipping by courier but above an amount to be free, we can easily set it up in WooCommerce shipments.
After being acquired by Automattic, WooCommerce is constantly updated. This makes it a very secure content management system, as any problem that arises is resolved very quickly.
Having implemented dozens of successful projects for online stores with WooCommerce, I now know that WooCommerce can really be the tool to help you make your online presence stand out.
