  • What I may have to say that I dislike about WooCommerce is its not quite as easy as these computer experts say it is. They think because to them its so easy that it should be to us. It's not. But WooCommerce does have oncall support 24/7 so they know we need help and are willing to give it at anytime.
  • No cons. Its the leading e-commerce website builder. Best in my opinion.
  • Overall, it's an outstanding e-commerce website builder.
