How it works
The platform is the most widely used ecommerce software in the world, and its strength is control: you own the store, the data, and the code. There are no platform transaction fees beyond what your payment gateway charges, and the store can be customised without limits.
WooCommerce suits WordPress users who want a store they fully own and are comfortable managing hosting and updates. It takes more work than Shopify, but the flexibility and the lack of a monthly platform fee make it the default choice for WordPress sellers.
