About

WooCommerce is the open source e-commerce platform built on WordPress. Sell anything, anywhere with the flexibility of WordPress and powerful commerce features.

Target Audience: WooCommerce is used by merchants, creators, and small-to-mid-sized businesses that already rely on WordPress and want to add commerce without moving to a separate platform. It is also used by agencies and developers who need to build custom storefronts, payment flows, shipping rules, and product experiences for clients using WordPress.
Not ideal for: It is not ideal for merchants who want a fully managed, no-maintenance hosted storefront, because WooCommerce requires WordPress hosting, updates, and ongoing site administration.

What makes it different

  • Built natively on WordPress, so content, SEO, blog, and commerce live in the same CMS.
  • Open-source and self-hosted, giving merchants full control over code, data, hosting, and customizations.
  • Extensible through a large ecosystem of official and third-party extensions for payments, shipping, subscriptions, bookings, and memberships.
  • Developer-friendly architecture with hooks, templates, and a REST API for custom storefronts, integrations, and workflow automation.
