Description

WooCommerce is the world’s most popular open-source eCommerce solution.

Our core platform is free, flexible, and amplified by a global community. The freedom of open-source means you retain full ownership of your store’s content and data forever.

Whether you’re launching a business, taking brick-and-mortar retail online, or developing sites for clients, use WooCommerce for a store that powerfully blends content and commerce.

THE EASIEST WAY TO TRY WOOCOMMERCE

Thinking of trying WooCommerce? Woo Express is a simple, all-in-one package that includes fully managed hosting from WordPress.com, popular extensions, and world-class support from Woo — all for one monthly price.

Try Woo Express free for 14 days, then get your first 3 months for just $1.

ALL THE TOOLS YOU NEED TO SELL

Built-in tools and popular integrations help you efficiently manage your business operations. Many services are free to add with a single click via the optional Setup Wizard.

  • Choose how you want to get paid. Conveniently manage payments from the comfort of your store with WooPayments (Available in the U.S., U.K., Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Spain, France, Germany, and Italy). Securely accept credit cards, mobile wallets, bank transfers, and cash thanks to 100+ payment gateways – including Stripe, PayPal, and Square.

  • Simplify sales tax. Add WooCommerce Tax or similar integrated services to make automated calculations a reality.

Grow your business, add features, and monitor your store on the go

WooCommerce means business. Keep tabs on the performance metrics most important to you with WooCommerce Admin – a powerful, customizable central dashboard for your store.

Expand your audience across marketing and social channels with Google Ads, HubSpot, Mailchimp, and Facebook integrations. You can always check out the in-dashboard Marketing Hub for fresh ideas and tips to help you succeed.

Enhance store functionality with hundreds of free and paid extensions from the official WooCommerce Marketplace. Our developers vet each new extension and regularly review existing extensions to maintain Marketplace quality standards. We are actively looking for products that help store builders create successful stores.

Manage your store from anywhere with the free WooCommerce mobile app (Android and iOS). Spoiler alert: Keep an ear out for the slightly addictive “cha-ching” notification sound each time you make a new sale!

Own and control your store data – forever

With WooCommerce, your data belongs to you. Always.

If you opt to share usage data with us, you can feel confident knowing that it’s anonymized and kept secure. Choose to opt-out at any time without impacting your store.

Unlike hosted eCommerce solutions, WooCommerce store data is future-proof; you’re free to export all your content and take your site to any platform you choose. No restrictions.

Why developers choose (and love) WooCommerce

Developers can use WooCommerce to create, customize, and scale a store to meet a client’s exact specifications, making enhancements through extensions or custom solutions.

  • Leverage hooks and filters to modify or create functionality.
  • Integrate virtually any service using a robust REST API and webhooks.
  • Design and build custom content blocks with React.
  • Inspect and modify any aspect of the core plugin code.
  • Speed up development with a lightning-fast CLI.

The core platform is tested rigorously and often, supported by a dedicated development team working across time zones. Comprehensive documentation is updated with each release, empowering you to build exactly the store required.

Be part of our growing international community

WooCommerce has a large, passionate community dedicated to helping merchants succeed – and it’s growing fast.

There are WooCommerce Meetups in locations around the world that you can attend for free and even get involved in running. These events are a great way to learn from others, share your expertise, and connect with like-minded folks.

WooCommerce also has a regular presence at WordCamps across the globe – we’d love to meet you.

Contribute and translate

WooCommerce is developed and supported by Automattic, the creators of WordPress.com and Jetpack. We also have hundreds of independent contributors, and there’s always room for more. Head to the WooCommerce GitHub Repository to find out how you can pitch in.

Blocks

This plugin provides 2 blocks.

  • Filter by Rating Controls Enable customers to filter the product grid by rating.

Installation

Minimum Requirements

  • PHP 7.4 or greater is required (PHP 8.0 or greater is recommended)
  • MySQL 5.6 or greater, OR MariaDB version 10.1 or greater, is required

Visit the WooCommerce server requirements documentation for a detailed list of server requirements.

Automatic installation

Automatic installation is the easiest option — WordPress will handle the file transfer, and you won’t need to leave your web browser. To do an automatic install of WooCommerce, log in to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Plugins menu, and click “Add New.”

In the search field type “WooCommerce,” then click “Search Plugins.” Once you’ve found us, you can view details about it such as the point release, rating, and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by! Click “Install Now,” and WordPress will take it from there.

Manual installation

Manual installation method requires downloading the WooCommerce plugin and uploading it to your web server via your favorite FTP application. The WordPress codex contains instructions on how to do this here.

Updating

Automatic updates should work smoothly, but we still recommend you back up your site.

If you encounter issues with the shop/category pages after an update, flush the permalinks by going to WordPress > Settings > Permalinks and hitting “Save.” That should return things to normal.

Sample data

WooCommerce comes with some sample data you can use to see how products look; import sample_products.xml via the WordPress importer. You can also use the core CSV importer or our CSV Import Suite extension to import sample_products.csv

Brilliant Plugin But Frequently Fails During Updates

December 14, 2023
This is a great fully-featured ecommerce plugin and I have been using it on multiple websites for many years. There are loads of plugins to extend functionality further. But, this plugin frequently fails during/after updating (automatically). Sometimes I will get a notification that my website is down and I know that WooCommerce has been updated again and failed. No other plugins do this, only this one; I wish they would fix it!

Love/Hate

December 12, 2023 2 replies
I've been using woocommerce for around 3 yrs now - I run my own online store. Woocommerce has helped me land a lot of customers and I have a semi complex store with variable products. The point of this review is that every update has the potential to break your site. And by breaking I mean causing an error that might not be apparent at first. Causing a minor error that results in visitors not able to purchase. I am not sure if this is something that someone starting out or someone who has an established business can accept. And there are many updates to woocommerce. I chose woo/wp because I didn't know better and now I feel it's the better devil you know. I felt until recently that I know my way around the quirks well enough that I can maintain my store with ease. There have always been updates that messed up the store in ways where shipping countries went missing or somehow the store wasn't working the way it had been before. A few weeks ago after an update a conflict related to polylang caused the site to throw 404s on every page except the main page.Most recently the Cart, Checkout, etc. page settings were deleted after an update which meant that when users who navigated to these pages were redirected to the main page. It's a terrible feeling to realize that your store is non-functional because of an update. You scramble to find out what's wrong and also try to estimate how much sales you've lost. I know this feeling well. I average 1-2 large orders a day but there are many days when no orders come in and then I have a sudden rush of orders. So I can never be sure if the orders stopped coming bc of a lull or an update broke the site. I still have my wp store but I don't know what to do. Should I change my update policy? Is there a mailing list that will tell me that the latest update potentially broke my site? Should I look for a new platform altogether? I feel disheartened and frustrated bc this keeps happening. And even if woocommerce does everything well the other plugin authors can and will make mistakes so they might break your site too. Maybe this is more of a review of the whole ecosytem than woocommerce. I wish there was a way to be on top of these situations and not just find out days later.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly!

December 9, 2023 1 reply
Here we have a three star review. Three reasons why WooCommerce is good and three reasons why WooCommerce is bad. The Good It is true. WooCommerce is a good plugin that provides its features very generously and for free so that they can start their online business at almost no cost. This plugin is used whether you want to sell physical products or you want to sell downloadable and digital products and it works better than any other popular plugin in this field. A lot of possibilities is what is possible with WooCommerce. For example, you can easily add this feature to your WooCommerce store by installing a shopping cart reminder plugin. Or a list of favorites, or anything else similar to that found in most major stores around the world. But we should also keep in mind that some of these features can be included in the WooCommerce core itself so that there is no need to pay for them and there is no need for many external plugins because many of them are either discontinued. , or they have high prices, or they have a negative impact on the performance of WooCommerce, or they reduce efficiency and security. However, this is a positive feature that many features can be made available to people with WooCommerce, but it is better that some other new features are removed from the side markets and placed in WooCommerce itself with higher compatibility and for free. So that efficiency and security problems are not created and the cost is reduced. The Bad There is one truth about WooCommerce that cannot be denied or ignored and every WordPress developer and webmaster knows this. The truth is that overall WooCommerce is very slow and has a negative impact on the performance and speed of the site. In general, if you compare a store site built with WordPress + WooCommerce and a store site built with systems It has been created like Shopify, Magento, Open Card, PrestaShop. In any case, with any number of products in the store and with any type of look and any type of shared or dedicated hosting or virtual server or any other platform and conditions you consider; WooCommerce is definitely the loser and at the bottom of the list in this race. And surprisingly, for example, sites built with OpenCard are much faster. Even on a very cheap shared hosting, OpenCard and the other systems I mentioned are much faster than WooCommerce. And this is very sad. The HPOS feature is a good feature, but it requires a few extra steps and a lot of precision to activate it. It is enough to make a little mistake or forget something and everything will be messed up. It would be better if only one click and one button were enough to activate this feature and there is no need to activate and deactivate the tick several times or to go and come back and do some additional tasks. Only one button and one option was enough, and you can put all the other items in it to do things automatically. As another suggestion in this field, it is better that this possibility is not a separate feature, but by default should not be a separate feature and should exist in the WooCommerce plugin itself. This is something that should have been the same from the beginning and I don't know why it was not noticed from the beginning. It is natural that the data should be stored in separate tables. One of the problems of WooCommerce and many other plugins in WordPress and in general in WordPress is that everything is inside and inside and everything is mixed together and many things are not separate from each other and neat and tidy. It reduces the efficiency, speed, security and weight of WordPress. Just like the HPOS feature that increases the speed of ordering and storing and searching for orders. WooCommerce needs another similar feature. Speeding up and increasing the efficiency of products and separating product tables and their specifications and features from posts and any other type of posts. Products are very slow, adding new variables is time consuming and not interesting. Product registration speed is slow, product search speed is slow. The type of product post type is similar to post type, normal blog posts, and there is no difference between them, and they are all stored in the same post tables, which are better to be separated. Some of these features that are added as a new feature and a new possibility to WooCommerce, such as HPOS, should not be a feature in principle. Rather, these are things that, if we want to look at it in a principled way and with correct rules, they should have been like this from the beginning. And we should not have mentioned them as a new feature. Some things were not right from the beginning. Anyway, it's nice to have everything working out. It is better to fix them. After all, we know you are working hard to come up with something better. We know that our opinion is important to you and you care about it. Thank you again for your efforts. We hope to see new features and major improvements in WooCommerce as soon as possible. We hope you care about this review and our opinion. We hope to see a lighter, faster, more efficient, better and more interesting WooCommerce. I still believe that WooCommerce is the best store building system in the world; But if we don't ignore the truth, some things in other systems are not only better than WooCommerce, but much better than WooCommerce, which I mentioned some of them. Hoping for more success for you.
