And why use WooCommerce for your online shop?

Woocommerce recently overtook Magento as the top e-commerce platform on the web. There are many reasons why this happened that you can read below but one of the biggest benefits of this is it’s support base. Because Woocommerce is supported by so many companies and developers, finding support is relatively easy. Because it is an open system, more developers have access to woocommerce and are able to develop more features into woo.

In a nut-shell. WooCommerce is simple to use. Excellent analytics. Scaleable. Vast Customisation and integration options, such as Xero, Mailchimp, Dropbox, Paypal, Facebook etc
