Wordpress and Ecommerce

E-commerce began to expand strongly in the last 5 years and is in a steady climb as it now accounts for 45.4% of the total web. More and more consumers have been shopping on-line since 2012 and today there is around $1.92 trillion in e-commerce revenue in the world. Is e-commerce the kind of transaction you should concentrate on in the market?

WooCommerce is the undisputed leading provider with 32% of the e-commerce segment, followed by Magento (18%), OpenCart (11%) and Shopify (8%). The WooCommerce site is used on 176,223 sites, while Magento and OpenCart are used on 102,514 and 60,133 sites, respectively. What makes WooCommerce the leading provider? You are probably wondering now what is so particular about WooCommerce and why it is the first in the game.

Now, WooCommerce is the e-commerce expansion of WordPress, the most widely used web site CMS operating 25% of the world's web sites. Well, I think it's kind of clear why WooCommerce is the leader in the e-commerce out there. Many WordPress publishers have stores on-line, so WooCommerce is the best for them.

With WooCommerce you get great service, great functionality, it's very simple to administer, and... it's free. So if you are already on WordPress, you are a real one. The WooCommerce is at the forefront for its great and simple service, but it also comes with a few disadvantages. So let us discuss a little about the good and less good functions of WooCommerce.

There are a wide range of customisation possibilities that are simple to use. It is very simple to set up and use. It' more like a bonuses... It will be a breeze for those who already have their pages on WordPress. WooCommerce is actually a plug-in that only works on WordPress.

A non-WordPress customer may find it a little tricky to create an on-line shop because you take a hosting company, have WordPress installed on it, select a WooCommerce compliant topic, and then need to have the WooCommerce plug-in installed. Although the plug-in is free, it can be a little costly to open the shop.

One could say that WooCommerce is not as effective if it is not delivered with a full-fledged bundle, such as web hosting and everything in between. The WooCommerce is not a stand-alone plattform, but a WordPress expansion. While WooCommerce is a plug-in, OpenCart, Shopify and Magento are pure e-commerce plattforms. The Shopify is the only one of the most widely-used networking sites equipped with web hosters.

Also Shopify does not provide a free map. The Magento company also has a chargeable subscription scheme that offers more sophisticated functionality for large global stores like Amazon. WordPress offers you many advantages? WorldPress is the best CMS on the market and is far ahead of its rivals Joomla and Drupal.

Although WordPress was initially only a blogsite, it became very complicated during that period and you can use it to build and maintain any type of website, even e-commerce. So you can set up an on-line store at the same and use the side also for something else.

Magento, Shopify and OpenCart are for e-commerce use only, so you cannot run a multi-purpose website on them. WordPress, on the other side, gives you complete command over your website. In addition to the fact that you can mix and match your shop with any other function, such as blog ging, portfolio, company pages, etc., you can also create your own shop.

it offers many (and I mean thousands) plugs, utilities, themes und integration with many advanced on-line features. The WordPress is almost completely web-enabled. Everywhere, according to your budgets, there are free, paid and affordable paid subscription service. Contrary to Magento, for example, which is for pros and is equipped with a more complicated and sophisticated user surface, WordPress is really simple and kind, so everyone can use it.

WordPress is a breeze to work with because it has a very friendly graphical environment. Although it's simple for anybody to make, it's also a good resource for all programmers and design professionals out here. This allows you to use your best programming knowledge to build your own feature sets, themes and other things.

For a large company and a large retail group on an ubiquitous level, Magento should be your preferred solution as it is designed to process large quantities of contents and supports many sophisticated functions and properties. The use of WordPress for your web shop may sound like the best thing to do out here. And, by the way, there are as many free service providers as there are those that are paying for it.

While each of the WooCommerce immediate rivals outperforms something, but lacks other important functions, WordPress has kind of everything: open Source CMS, complete command of your website, many free and chargeable web site functions, easy to use beginner interfaces and ability to develop for intermediate users, the ability to include a multi-purpose website (with on-line shop), pricing for all budget and other great things that are hardly awaiting to be discovered.
