It\u2019s well established, well supported and it receives regular updates.&nbsp;WooCommerce is integrated into all WPlook Studio themes, so the store becomes&nbsp;a native part of your site. WooCommerce is an Automattic company, the company behind WordPress.com and a major contributor to WordPress, meaning you can rest easy knowing you are using a secure and well made plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, WooCommerce&nbsp;supports taking payments&nbsp;through popular payment processors like&nbsp;PayPal and Stripe, as well as taking cash on delivery, cheque or BACS. Just like WordPress, it&#8217;s functionality can be vastly extended through plugins. These include everything, from additional payment processors like Amazon and SagePay, shipping tools like UPS and USPS, additional functionality like lessons, customised items, subscriptions and appointment bookings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/woocommerce.com\/product-category\/woocommerce-extensions\/\" style=\"background-color:#563473;border-radius:3px\">Browse WooCommerce extensions<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as our documentation about the basics of WooCommerce, you can find out more about setting up WooCommerce in their own documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.woocommerce.com\/\" style=\"background-color:#563473;border-radius:3px\">WooCommerce documentation<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"woocommerce-in-the-theme\">WooCommerce in&nbsp;the theme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wplook.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WooCommerce-shop.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"876\" src=\"https:\/\/wplook.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WooCommerce-shop-900x876.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2092\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wplook.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WooCommerce-shop-900x876.png 900w, https:\/\/wplook.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WooCommerce-shop-300x292.png 300w, https:\/\/wplook.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WooCommerce-shop-768x747.png 768w, https:\/\/wplook.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WooCommerce-shop-1024x996.png 1024w, https:\/\/wplook.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WooCommerce-shop-450x438.png 450w, https:\/\/wplook.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WooCommerce-shop-600x584.png 600w, https:\/\/wplook.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WooCommerce-shop-1200x1168.png 1200w, https:\/\/wplook.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WooCommerce-shop-1800x1751.png 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The WooCommerce shop listing page in the theme<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wplook.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WooCommerce-single-item.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"1322\" src=\"https:\/\/wplook.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WooCommerce-single-item-900x1322.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2093\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wplook.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WooCommerce-single-item-900x1322.png 900w, https:\/\/wplook.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WooCommerce-single-item-204x300.png 204w, https:\/\/wplook.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WooCommerce-single-item-768x1128.png 768w, https:\/\/wplook.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WooCommerce-single-item-697x1024.png 697w, https:\/\/wplook.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WooCommerce-single-item-300x441.png 300w, https:\/\/wplook.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WooCommerce-single-item-450x661.png 450w, https:\/\/wplook.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WooCommerce-single-item-600x881.png 600w, https:\/\/wplook.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WooCommerce-single-item-1200x1762.png 1200w, https:\/\/wplook.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WooCommerce-single-item-1800x2643.png 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>A single item displayed in WooCommerce.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you need to run a store as part of your WordPress site, WooCommerce is the plugin to do it with.
