WooCommerce is a free, open-source e-commerce plugin for WordPress. It turns a WordPress website into a full online store with products, cart, checkout, payments, shipping, taxes, customer accounts and order management. Because it runs on WordPress, your store and your content live in one place, and you can extend it with thousands of extensions or custom development.
The biggest difference between WooCommerce and hosted platforms is ownership. With WooCommerce, the store runs on hosting you control, the data belongs to you and there are no platform transaction fees on top of your payment gateway charges. You can customise almost anything: product types, checkout fields, pricing rules, shipping logic and integrations. The trade-off is responsibility. You or your agency handle hosting, updates, security and performance.
