WooCommerce is an open-source e-commerce plugin for WordPress, designed to help online merchants of all sizes create and manage their stores. Launched in 2011 by WooThemes, it quickly gained traction for its ease of installation and extensive customization options. In 2015, WooCommerce was acquired by Automattic, the parent company of WordPress.com, which continues to develop the platform. The plugin offers a variety of features, including product management, payment processing, shipping options, and inventory control. Users can enhance their stores with numerous extensions and themes, and WooCommerce also provides mobile apps for iOS and Android for on-the-go management. With over 3.9 million websites using WooCommerce, it serves a diverse global customer base, particularly appealing to small and medium-sized businesses seeking flexible e-commerce solutions. In 2023, the company rebranded to Woo, while the core platform retains the WooCommerce name.
