There is no dearth of options when it comes to choosing an eCommerce platform, but oddly enough, not every platform out there is scalable and/or easy to use. WordPress, by all means, is an exception. Currently powering 33% of the internet, it is a powerful platform, which works even better with plugins that help extend the website’s functionality. On that note, out of the thousands of plugins and extensions available for WordPress, WooCommerce can be the best choice, especially with regard to eCommerce. With more than 2.9 million websites already using WooCommerce, the plugin is popular for sure. But why?

For starters, WooCommerce helps you sell better by granting you complete control over your eCommerce data. Also, it comprises a number of customizable store designs for your WordPress site that can largely help you with your conversion rate.

Here are some of the reasons that justify WooCommerce’s increasing popularity, and make it your obvious choice:

1. It’s free!

That’s right. This WordPress plugin is open-source and free to use. Although, you’ll need a working WordPress installation and hosting to run this plugin. WooCommerce is the perfect choice to be taken advantage of without having to purchase any software license or support. Usually, incorporating a third party payment gateway or an additional extension may cost some money, but WooCommerce itself is available for free.

2. It’s flexible

WooCommerce can be used to sell anything on the internet. Whether you want to sell physical or digital products, or subscriptions and appointments, WooCommerce is flexible enough to adapt to your requirements. Not to forget all the customizable designs it offers, using which you can customize your store’s look and feel according to the essence of your products. You might also want to get assistance from an expert who renders WooCommerce customization services to come up with more intriguing designs.

3. It provides customer analysis

Providing better services to your customers can become easy once you know more about them. The way they interact with your store can say a lot about what they’re expecting from it. But the question is, how would you get to know this in the first place? The answer lies in WooCommerce or rather the analytics it offers. Apart from that, you can also integrate an external analytics system, if you wish to.

4. It grows with your business

You might have started your online business on a small scale, but you’d, of course, want it to grow over time. And when it does, you’ll need a platform that can handle all the increased work. With WooCommerce, you never have to worry about scalability as the plugin, when integrated with your WordPress site, becomes capable of growing with your business.

5. It can manage your content like a pro

One of the most important parts of an eCommerce website is its content. Since WooCommerce is one of the most powerful Content Management Systems, it is capable of handling your content in various forms, such as blogs, email marketing, product copies, landing pages, etc. To add to the features, WooCommerce can also be integrated with other SEO plugins such as Yoast WooCommerce SEO to make content optimization easier. Managing all the content on your own can be a bit daunting, which is why it is better if you go for professional WooCommerce development services and get the job done by an expert.

Going for WooCommerce can prove to be beneficial for your online business in many ways. This WordPress plugin is specifically designed to help you sell and so, it includes every possible thing you may need to start selling online. Whether it is integrating an external payment gateway or providing a powerful backend system to manage stocks, emails and orders, WooCommerce has got it all. If you haven’t tried it yet, it’s time you do.
