What is WooCommerce and How Does It Work?
WooCommerce is a powerful ecommerce plugin designed specifically for WordPress websites. It allows you to turn your existing site into a fully functional online store — ideal for selling both physical and digital products.
What Can WooCommerce Do?
With WooCommerce, you can:
- List products with images, pricing, and variations
- Accept payments via credit card, PayPal, bank transfer, or other gateways
- Manage inventory, shipping, and tax calculations
- Offer discount codes and coupon options
- Track orders and customer details
- Extend functionality with thousands of compatible plugins
Whether you’re starting a small boutique or expanding an existing shop, WooCommerce is flexible enough to grow with your business.
How Does It Work?
WooCommerce integrates seamlessly into your WordPress dashboard. After installation, it adds new menus where you can manage your shop, products, orders, and reports. The layout and design of your store adapt to your current theme, and you can customise it further with WooCommerce-compatible plugins and extensions.
Why Use WooCommerce?
- It’s free and open-source
- You have full ownership of your website and data
- It’s customisable to match your brand
- You avoid monthly ecommerce platform fees
- It integrates with marketing tools, CRMs, shipping carriers, and more
