But requires additional plugins to allow functionality that one would think was built in already > > **Cons**: Because it’s a server side software solution, it can be a dog to use. > > Frustration, angst which led to wondering - why isn’t there a competitor solution for my Wordpress sites? ----- ### "WooCommerce is fabulous for both technical and non-technical user\!" — 5.0/5 > **Theekapat** | *19 July 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's user-friendly for non-technical users\! Anyone can run their e-commerce store using WooCommerce. Although there's certainly learning to do, the information is free and easily accessible. > > **Cons**: I've spent a few minutes thinking of what I dislike, and can't think of one. WooCommerce is all good, at least from my perspective. > > I was running an e-commerce store on WooCommerce for around 2 years. I'm delighted with WooCommerce, as a technical user. ----- ### "Go for it the best store u can make than other custom build ones" — 5.0/5 > **Roby** | *24 December 2024* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best thing we liked about its sleek design and custom functions > > **Cons**: Nothing, we liked everything about Woocommerce > > Exceptional is the word that I like to use ----- ### "The best (and only) truly free ecommerce plugin" — 5.0/5 > **Austin** | *30 June 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's overall the best bang for the buck ecommerce Software available. It allows more technical users to be able to customize it using code, as well as less technical users to add on features through the WordPress plugin repository. > > **Cons**: Websites with a lot of products can experience site speed issues, however, this sometimes can be dependent on the hosting environment. Integration with 3rd party shipping platforms can sometimes be difficult. > > Whether you have a web development background or not, WooCommerce can be a great place to start selling if you have an existing WordPress website. ----- ### "WOO WHO WOo" — 5.0/5 > **Keith** | *18 March 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: They do a great job of keeping the software updated and installed properly. Fee structure is in line with other software and often less in that there is no per transaction fee. Setup was easy, making new products or variants is also really easy. > > **Cons**: Freight setup is complicated but this isn’t really a problem of WOO, freight is complicated. We use a third party for freight pricing. The store adds the freight but we don’t actually use WOO for freight. > > We might have preferred a nicer look to the product listing but this works. We have never had a glitch and enjoy the simplicity of the program ----- Page: 1 / 43\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/187800/woocommerce?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/187800/woocommerce) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
