I have a plan to create an eCommerce website, and I’ve heard from many people that this plugin is a very popular and complete solution for managing an eCommerce business. However, at the beginning, I don’t have the budget to purchase any premium plugins. Could you please suggest a good free alternative?
Yes, the WooCommerce plugin is free to download and use from the WordPress plugin repository. It provides all the essential features to set up a fully functional online store, including product management, shopping cart, checkout, and payment processing.
However, WooCommerce also offers premium extensions and add-ons—such as payment gateways, shipping calculators, and marketing tools—that come at a cost to enhance your store’s capabilities.
In summary, you can start and run a basic WooCommerce store for free, and choose to purchase paid extensions as your business grows.
