WooCommerce is a free eCommerce plugin for WordPress. It was built to enable seamless integration of the most important eCommerce functions into the popular WordPress framework. WooCommerce comes with all the core features you need to create and manage your online shop, from pre-installed payment gateways to stock inventory management. 

On top of these core functions, WooCommerce offers thousands of extensions and add-ons – both free and paid – that make it easy to further customise your store exactly the way you want. WooCommerce is an open source project, meaning that it is open to an active and growing community of contributors.

The requirements for hosting for WooCommerce are relatively simple. With the right web hosting, creating and running a WooCommerce store is extremely straightforward and you don't need any prior experience. WooCommerce was built especially for WordPress, making it particularly easy for anyone who's already familiar with the blogging platform.
