Though we had a few issues getting the recurring payments to work correctly, the product has been solid and worked as it should otherwise. It was very quick to stand up and was mostly handled by the sales/marketing team.

WooCommerce Likes & Dislikes

Like

I am a busy Sysadmin. All I had to do was stand up a wordpress server and hand it off to the sales and marketing team. I was expecting to have to intervene, but they were able to set it up unassisted. I pop in monthly to make sure everything is being updated (it rarely is, but the sales guys don't really have security at the forefront of their minds) and everything is working as intended.

Like

High quality, extensibility and possibilities of customization to match any business process

Like

Quick to connect to potential clientelle.

Dislike

There were issues with billing the card set up with the account. I am still not 100% sure if it was the providers fault as I was not directly involved, but several times when I went to update the account said it was not paid, and when I went after the team they said there was an issue with the card.

Dislike

Scaling is possible but challenging, with no out of the box solutions for this; while free and open source, some additional plugins can be costly; not all plugins are of equal quality as WooCommerce itself.

Dislike

Nothing

    WooCommerce is an advanced eCommerce solution on one of the more agile website platforms available (WordPress). Thanks to its ecosystem, it enjoys a large community of developers, a wide range of add-ons and the ability to tune the user-experience to the extreme.
