WooCommerce - recommended?

[Fidget242]

Anybody here using or has used WooCommerce for their business? Is it reliable \ stable? Does it perform well in terms of page speed \ SEO rankings etc? Who would you recommend to host it?
Would love to hear from people that actually use it rather than blog posts and articles writing about how good it is.

We have been using Shopify for the past five years for our main website, but it has been going downhill over the past 12 months. I've lost count how many times it's had issues with admin, or checkout, or reporting, or even just completely gone down sometimes

I'm apprehensive about self hosted ecommerce because I've tried using OpenCart before on Siteground a good few years ago and it was a nightmare - things were always going wrong lol.

I’m Using woocommerce and have been for a few years now.
not any issues here and I have my own hosting from a friends hosting business which is superb.

I like you have used opencart which was great, but very limited in terms of customisation and plugins.

We made the switch from Shopify to WooCommerce and havn't looked back. Whilst we set our own site up initially we've since had a professional site built from scratch and the difference is night and day.

We've used Opencart in the past also and found this very good but not on a level.

Thanks both, will give this some serious thought then. I don't suppose you would mind sharing a rough estimate at how much a service like that would cost?

Will drop you a PM

We're on Woo (and sue Elegant Themes' Divi for the site design)

Can recommend WPX for hosing - see review here: https://www.matthewwoodward.co.uk/blogg ... x-hosting/
