About WooCommerce
WooCommerce powers more online stores than any platform by piggybacking on WordPress ubiquity. The core plugin is free and open source, every pixel and database row is yours, and extensions cover any requirement. The trade is operational: hosting, updates, and performance tuning are your job. For content-plus-commerce and cost control at scale, it remains unmatched.
