Allows for unlimited customizability and much better payment processing. Your website development process will be much better and well wroth the money. > > **Cons**: Not as plug and play as other solutions but far more customizable and better for long term scalability. ----- ### "Great free plugin and easy to use once set up." — 5.0/5 > **Athena** | *2 February 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: WooCommerce made it easy to set up our online store, update products, offer different versions of products, and accept different payment types. Any issues we encountered have always been swiftly corrected. The core plugin is free, so the value is in it from the start. > > **Cons**: Learning to set up products isn't entirely user-friendly, and takes a bit of effort to understand all the different components to it. > > I enjoy working with it. While it takes a bit to learn, at times it's absolutely worth the time to learn once you have the hang of it. ----- ### "Enables any business to perform like a store." — 5.0/5 > **Elle** | *30 November 2023* | Design | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Woocommerce allows even the smallest of shops to push their products across the internet. > > **Cons**: It can rarely be used "out of the box". It takes a lot to set up and isn't for unknowledgeable users. But then, I'm happy to set it up for our clients which means all they need to do is edit their inventory or add new products. > > It's usually a positive experience. To be fair, it is the pricing of WooCommerce addons that puts me off sometimes. ----- ### "Customization makes perfect. But templates are also great." — 4.0/5 > **Wasif** | *16 June 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very decent starting off point and the customizability is the best in class. Payment systems from around the world can be integrated. > > **Cons**: Using templates as is and customizing heavily is sound, but anything in the middle -- not so much. So you have to decide if you want to customize at all because customization breaks templates and needs a lot of attention to fix. ----- ### "My go-to solution when building eCommerce" — 4.0/5 > **Alexandra** | *30 August 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: When working with woocommerce, there is a lot of flexibility on what you what t your website to be. Whether you are selling virtual or physical products, it’s the best solution for building eCommerce with Wordpress. There is a lot of extra plugins that give great flexibility in all the needs you might encounter depending on the type of business or eCommerce you have. > > **Cons**: It’s not a beginners system. You need to understand how to set it up correctly as there is room to a lot of confusion, specially when it comes to shipping, product variables, payment methods. The plugin does not give all solutions in one, and you need to have experience in setting up the correct way. > > It’s my go-to when building eCommerce websites because its flexibility. Although it requieres experience, it lets you set up almost every type of business that wants online payments. It can be catering services, an organization with member discount, monthly subscription style of service, traffic school, or normal physical product eCommerce website. It’s helpful when the website has very specific requirements. ----- Page: 1 / 43\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/163450/woocommerce?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/163450/woocommerce) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
