WOO Commerce has given us a platform that has allowed us to build a successful eCommerce brand from scratch. From the very beginning, where we needed a simple and easy-to-use platform for both internal teams and customers alike, to what is now a much more technical setup, WOO Commerce has given us all the capability we've needed to scale at pace. Not only that, the support team we work directly with has been fantastic and has a genuine desire to resolve our issues, suggest improvements to our setup, and ultimately grow our revenue numbers.

WooCommerce Likes & Dislikes

Like

The ease of use, alongside the technical design capabilities that it has that a low-skilled front-end web builder such as myself to easily implement the solutions needed to grow our business.

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

Quick to connect to potential clientelle.

Dislike

I don't have any dislikes per se. Over the years, we've needed to do a lot of work on site speed due to the bloat of some of the plugins we've needed to use to work alongside WOO Commerce - however, that has been drastically improving month by month, and WOO has done a lot of work to move this forward.

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

Nothing

    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.
