What is WooCommerce?

WooCommerce is possibly the most widely used online shop system on the web. For several reasons: Firstly, WooCommerce is built on WordPress, the most widely used content management system (both products are owned by the company Automattic). For operators of a WordPress website, selling via WooCommerce is therefore the obvious solution. Additionally, WooCommerce can be used for free. However, there may be costs for hosting, support, plugins (which offer additional options), and themes (shop layouts). WooCommerce is mainly used by individual merchants and smaller companies. A lively community has emerged around the open-source software.
