Summary
WooCommerce is a WordPress-based e-commerce platform that turns WordPress sites into functional online stores.
WooCommerce is a plugin and ecosystem that extends WordPress to handle product catalogs, shopping carts, payment processing, and order management. It sits in the self-hosted e-commerce layer—competing with Shopify and Square Online, but owned and operated on your own infrastructure. The core plugin is free; revenue comes from add-ons, extensions, and hosting. The biggest catch is that you're responsible for your own hosting, security, backups, and technical maintenance—there's no managed platform doing that work for you. It's powerful for shops already invested in WordPress, but requires either technical chops or budget for a developer.
Bottom line: *Use this if you already run WordPress and want control over your stack; skip it if you want a turnkey hosted solution.*
