Do you want to set up an online store on WordPress? The most popular e-commerce plugin is WooCommerce.

While the plugin itself is free, some elements, such as premium WooCommerce themes, are not. See how much it costs to build a high-quality e-commerce store with WooCoomerce plugin.

Why choose WooCommerce?

Currently, the WooCommerce plugin is the most popular WordPress plugin to build an e-commerce. It works like a standard WordPress plugin, so you do not need HTML help to set up your online store. This is probably the most feature-rich e-commerce plugin, as it allows you to create a fully functional e-commerce store. You will do the configurations yourself, and it should take you no more than one afternoon. The plugin is free, but does it mean that the WooCommerce store costs you nothing?

WooCommerce for free

Sellers who do not have a large budget, or who do not have the need to build a complex store, can build e-commerce completely free. These vendors choose the store's appearance from the free WooCommerce themes. There are quite a lot of them in the WordPress repository, however, as befits free offers, they are simple and have limited functionality. For example, the limited ability to change the color of the skin. Before you decide to build a store using the WooCommerce plugin, you can look through the free WooCommerce themes at woocommerce.com.

If you decide on free WooCommerce themes, remember that most of them only include English. It means you will have to translate your website yourself. What’s more, WooCommerce includes payments using PayPal, and this involves high commissions on every payment. You can, of course, decide to collect payments using traditional transfers, but in this case, you lose time to check each payment on your own.

In the free version of the WooCommerce store, shipping options are also limited. By default, WooCommerce allows you to send either free packages or at a fixed price. The number of courier companies is also small.

Do you want to enrich your store with various payment methods (for example PayU), different versions of shipments, and a large selection of suppliers? If so, consider installing paid plugins. The same applies to the appearance of the store – if you want it to be more advanced, you need to buy a commercial WooCommerce theme.

Paid WooCommerce themes and plugins

If you are looking for premium WooCommerce themes, browse the websites with commercial offers, e.g. themeforest.net. Prices of paid templates range from a dozen to several hundred dollars. What’s important, when you buy a template from Theme Forest, you get lifetime access to its updates.

When you have already bought your dream WooCommerce theme, you should take care of its functionality. Add the above-mentioned plugins to it. You will find all the extensions in the official WordPress repository. Just enter a woocommerce keyword intoits search engine. Thanks to paid extensions, you can enrich your store with, for example:

• various delivery and payment options,

• displaying on price comparison websites,

• printing out address labels,

• issuing invoices,

• sending mailings to your customers.

Expansion prices range from a few to several hundred dollars, and their options are almost limitless. With a beautiful premium WooCommerce theme and a set of plugins, you will build a high-quality e-commerce.
