Why is Woocommerce becoming a natural choice of developers to develop eCommerce websites?

For all those who do not know about Woocommerce, below points may help them to understand it.

What is WooCommerce?

WooCommerce is a free e-Commerce plugin that allows you to sell anything, with elegance that your business needs. Created to integrate seamlessly with WordPress, WooCommerce is the world’s favorite e-Commerce solution and offers total control to the store owners and developers alike.

Now let’s explore some of the few reasons why WooCommerce is so loved and preferred by most web developers around the world and in India too.

WooCommerce Is free.

Download WooCommerce is totally free. However, despite being free and open source, WooCommerce offers many features that are paid through their extensions and additional plugins.

It’s easy to use.

The management, modification and update of products in WooCommerce is very simple once you become familiar with the platform everything will be even easier for you and your clients alike.

It has high customization options.

It has many templates of all kinds, many of which are free, which you can customize to get an e-Commerce to your liking. Once you select the theme you want to install, you can start making changes to the colors, adjust the code and experiment with the special features that each theme offers.

WooCommerce Provides reports and statistics about your online store.

Knowing how your online business is working is essential to make adjustments and keep increasing your sales. WooCommerce offers you reports in reference to sales, customers and the stock of your products, among other things.

It’s SEO friendly.

With WooCommerce you will be able to optimize every page of product that you have in your online store, thus improving your position in the Google ranking.

Open Source

Most major software projects are open source. In fact WordPress follows that philosophy and is one of the reasons why today is the most used and extended CMS on the internet.

By extension WooCommerce is also open source and that brings important advantages to the project, such as:

  • Very low cost or even free (as is the case with WooCommerce). It allows SMEs with few resources to have access to powerful technological solutions, which in the case of proprietary software, the cost of licenses would be thousands of euros per year.

  • Development based on standards to be compatible with the latest web technologies. It is compatible with 99.99% of existing hosting and can be used from any updated browser, including Internet Explorer (although I do not recommend using this browser at all).

  • Fault correction faster and more effective. Thousands of people review the code, test it and improve it.

  • Freedom to modify and improve the benefits of the program or adapt it to the needs of your business.

  • Use and unlimited distribution. You can install and use the WooCommerce on as many websites as you wish without having to pay licenses for new installations.
