WordPress eCommerce Plugins: Which Should You Use?

November 12, 2019

A big reason that so many sites are built on the WordPress platform is the extensive plugin selection to choose from. As an open-source platform, WordPress users can choose from thousands of options, making it possible to customize your site to fit your specific needs. The vast assortment of plugins can be overwhelming, especially when you are just starting out. When it comes to WordPress eCommerce plugins, which should you use? These are our top picks.

Wordpress eCommerce Plugins Which Should You Use

WooCommerce

WooCommerce labels themselves as “the best eCommerce platform”, and many will agree. You can use this popular plugin to build your online store from scratch. Themes and optimized features are elements that make WooCommerce so popular with many WordPress users. Over 30% of online stores are powered by WooCommerce.

Easy Digital Downloads

If you sell content that can be downloaded, Easy Digital Downloads caters to your needs. The plugin is designed to work with any theme so it will blend in seamlessly with your site design. Sell PDFs, digital files, printables, music, and more with this simplified and easy to use WordPress eCommerce plugin.

WP eCommerce

One of the original WordPress eCommerce plugins is WP eCommerce. This option works exceptionally well with WP because this plugin was designed specifically for WordPress. WP eCommerce makes it possible to sell physical products, memberships, downloads, services, and more. Like WooCommerce, it integrates well with multiple payment merchants.

Big Commerce

Big Commerce is a fully hosted eCommerce platform that integrates with WordPress via a plugin. You can use WordPress to manage your content while keeping your eCommerce engine separate. Big Commerce also makes it possible to sell across a variety of platforms, so you can sell on your WordPress site as well as on your social media platforms.

There are many other eCommerce building platforms available to choose from, but they do not all integrate seamlessly with WordPress. The four options listed here have plugins to make it as simple as possible for you to start selling on your WordPress site. For help, you can always turn to pros like the team at Houndstooth Media Group for assistance.
