WooCommerce
Open-source ecommerce platform for WordPress, for merchants and developers building online stores.
About WooCommerce
WooCommerce is an open-source commerce platform for WordPress. It lets merchants run an online store while keeping control of their checkout, their data and their costs.
You can choose your own payment providers, features and hosting. The page says stores can sell online and offline, locally or globally, and that the platform can be adapted to the business rather than the other way round.
Extensions and themes add further features, and developers can use WooCommerce to build stores for other people. The site says WooCommerce powers more than 4 million stores and publishes case studies from brands such as Nutribullet, House of Malt and Dan-O's Seasoning.
- Open source, built for WordPress
- Choice of payments, hosting and features

- Suitable for merchants, agencies and developers
Check the pricing page for the cost of paid extensions, hosting and payment fees, and confirm which payment methods are available in Ghana.
