Starting an eCommerce business is not easy. At times it can feel overwhelmingly difficult to navigate, complicated and pricey. However, technological developments continue to make the process easier and more user-friendly. Retailers are realising that the digital platform they choose plays in the success of their business. In this article, we will be discussing a few WooCommerce benefits.
WooCommerce is an open-source and customisable eCommerce platform targeted towards small to medium enterprises. It officially launched in 2011 and has been one of the easiest and cost-effective CMS platforms to start an online store. In addition, WooCommerce is built on WordPress, a popular and familiar platform already used by millions of websites across the globe.Â
As mentioned, WooCommerce is built on WordPress. Take full advantage of the content editing tools at your disposal for your blog and other web pages. Being able to easily manage both your eCommerce and WordPress on the same user-friendly CMS system is one of the many WooCommerce benefits.
Other platforms may have limited options with regards to the addition of content-rich subpages. Meanwhile, WooCommerce is great if you want to create a corporate website with eCommerce capabilities.
Third-party eCommerce platforms will always run the risk of losing data associated with them when the platform closes. On occasion, it may also subject your website to their party’s terms resulting in significant difficulties when trying to access data.Â
WooCommerce understands that data related to your customer purchases and order history is very important to you and your customers. Hence with WooCommerce, you get a backup platform if ever another third-party eCommerce platform/vendor/service provider is down.
After a customised website has gone ‘Live’, it is often difficult and expensive to make further design changes to it. But with WooCommerce, you can easily switch back and forth between themes to update your website appearance with a variety of paid or free unique themes.Â
WooCommerce can reliably support key features for your new online store. Do note that these features are pretty standard and will require plugins or customisation.Â
Main features include:

To complete the list of WooCommerce benefits in this article, we talk about speed. Websites built on the WooCommerce platform are very fast to load as compared to other platforms.Â
