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. ----- ### "WooCommerce - Meh…" — 3.0/5 > **Christopher** | *23 December 2024* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It works with Wordpress. 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? ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Plug and Play and Get Paid" — 5.0/5 > **Patrick** | *3 April 2026* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Not only is it free to set up, but the fact that I was able to easlity create an ecommerce site to sell my products in literally in hours was great. The multiple payment options and integration with my bank and paypal allowed me to receive funds quickly. Adding products and chaging pricing - also easy to use. > > **Cons**: Seems I am always updating the plug-in, and I worry about security. (Although it hasn't been an issue). If I was not super savvy on web design/Wordpress, I might have found it difficult to set up. > > I am please with being able to have an ecommerce store that works so I can concentrate on marketing and new product development. ----- 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
