What do you like best about WooCommerce?

It's similarity to WP eCommerce that is (was) easier to mesh with your look. It works and flat rate shipping actually has decent options; but limited re:WP eC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WooCommerce?

Needs elusive custom CSS unless you use nothing but prefab defaults even with Astra Pro -- aesthetically buggy. They tell you your theme authors need to write you some CSS for things that are nothing but crummy Woo shortcuts in poor code. The only way Woo overcame WP eCommerce was better publicity. WP eCommerce was way less problematic for a person who just wanted it to match your theme global settings. Also some solutions put the Short product description in the catalog. Theirs is just next to the product when you open the page. I hate Woo Commerce after switching because (WP eCommerce died) and while I'm not a dev I've been pretty good at webmastering and finding CSS, but you constantly see Woo DIY mostly-free non devs like me needing unique custom CSS written for them because it's not just a few known fixes; it's clashes in buggy ways with sites themes here there everywhere because Woo is poorly done.

What problems is WooCommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

I only half solved my Woo problems because they say they can't be bothered creating an account for my website like they'd have to do to see their OWN "My Account" page. The first half has been solved by Astra Pro techs whose responsibility was not fixing poorly written Woo bugs but they did it anyway. Don't use Woo if you're DIY free and are not planning on white backgrounds or content backgrounds, you'll have ulgy white wrappers and ugly white selector bars and things outside of the normal everyday stuff that is tackled more often. Most people have white sites that Woo's corner-cutting code camouflages in with and that's all they care about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
