What are the best e-commerce plugin for WordPress?

11 years ago

I think yes, it is the best eCommerce plugin for WP. It is comprehensive and provides lots of options.

However I won't recommend to use WP for ecommerce as it wasn't developed initially especially for this reason and requires additional plugins and modifications. Meanwhile Magento offers almost everything just from the box.

Thanks

What you will get with Magento is a steeper learning curve than WordPress and the need for a dedicated server if you start getting any decent traffic. Some web hosts won't even allow magento on shared and the lower end vps accounts.

Yeah Woocommerce is the best plugin for woocommerce. If you are friendly with wordpress then go for it. If you are looking for someone to get ecommerce website done then i would recommend you to go for magento or prestashop.

Shopp-is one of WordPress’ first ecommerce plugins.
WP E-Commerce-is also known as “getshopped.org” and it’s easy to use and is definitely one of the most popular ecommerce solutions for WordPress.
WooCommerce-is free to download and use, but most extensions and functionalities cost money to use.
Cart66- is a WordPress ecommerce plugin that offers a lot of super basic shopping cart functionality to your site
Ecwid-This is another free plugin for WordPress that lets you sell online
eShop- is one of the eaisest to use WordPress ecommerce plugins. The admin area is nice, and they make it simple to add products, and check very basic stats.
Picking an ecommerce platform isn’t an easy task, using a WordPress ecommerce plugin is not ideal for building and running an online store.
- Thanks

Simple answer: Yes... hands down.

If you need a more robust e-commerce platform then you will need Magento.

Just remember that Magento requires more resources (VPS or Dedicated server) and a good admin on the ready.

So do your due diligence and choose well.

What I mean is that Magento requires more maintenance and so you will need a good administrator on hand when things go awry. You must realize that Magento is a true e-commerce platform as compared to a Wordpress + WooCommerce plugin setup.

I don't think your website can afford to be down for long after you've invested so much in design, marketing, development and other resources.

It's hard to find an exceptional Magento developer/administrator as there are not that many out there. There are of course many that are OK but that won't suffice when a big problem arises.

Finally, yes a good Magento admin will cost you more money. On the bright side they should help keep your site online and functioning at its best.

The official No.1 in the league, Woocommerce has cemented its position as the default plugin for Wordpress. The Wordpress themes shop WooThemes maintains Woocommerce and the plugin ia actively supported by its developer community. The only disadvantage of this plugin is that it is priced quite high with just a 1 year license. But people still think it’s worth paying for its sheer ease-of-use!

There is one simple reason to use Woocommerce and that is "You don't have an option that comes close by in WordPress"

The plugin is free, there are tons of supporting plugins, too much support data on the internet and the plugin wonderful.

Pros:
Almost every feature is nice but,

Cons:
- Apparently WooCommerce is scalable on the surface, however as the
number of products increase on your website, WooCommerce consumes
too many resources and the website becomes dead slow.

- Backups of huge websites are often broken/error prone.
It's not recommended for big businesses.

To tell you whether or not WooCommerce is right for you we would need to know more information' like how many products you will have are they virtual, digital (downloadable) etc.

I agree to a certain extent as WooCommerce is suited mostly for small to medium stores however it is no more resource hungry then any other platform out there and is definitely less than most.
