Friday marked a monumental milestone. After 52 releases, 35 official themes, 192 official extensions, a lot of hard work, and a whole bunch of community contribution WooCommerce has surpassed 1,000,000 downloads. Only 626 days from it’s launch!
Digging deeper it took us only 137 days from our big 500,000 downloads milestone to double our download count at an average of around 5,000 downloads a day in the last few weeks. That’s some some serious growth that we are immensely proud of and a great testament to the success of version 2.0 that we released just 102 days ago.
We can quickly get caught up in the statistical data trivialising what it is actually important. Those numbers represent real people in countries all around the world. Those people all around the world are starting businesses, or taking their existing businesses online using our e-commerce tools.
And that’s what we are truly proud about.
Thank you to all of our customers and all of our contributors for growing and shaping WooCommerce. We’ve paved a road for much future innovation and exploration in the WordPress eCommerce space.
How we’re celebrating
To celebrate this milestone we are running a flash 48 hour promotion, site wide, across all our WordPress themes, plugins and WooCommerce extensions. Use the coupon code « WC1M » on checkout and you’ll receive 30% off your purchase. That’s a significant saving that for some might mean a new shop theme or extension to help cater for your customers better, for others that might be that little push you need to try out one of our products for the first time. Trust us, you won’t be disappointed.
This coupon will not work for any of our Club Subscriptions, and can not be used in conjunction with any other coupon code.
About
Congrats WooThemes! A well deserved and hard earned achievement.
Congratulations! Love the work you guys do!!!
Congratulations! I’m glad I was part of this million! 🙂
Nice title, considering the image in the newsletter lost 1 of those zeros 🙂
Massive fail on my part. 5 seemed enough 🙂
Lol Mark, was wondering 😀
Congrats on the milestone, big achievement for a great plugin!
made me laugh 🙂
Was wondering too.
Is this part of your marketing to get more clicks? 😉
Against popular believe, you’re only human 🙂
Well done bud!
Not even half a million, but kudos!
Intentional typo in your mailout? Check the big counter at the top of email… it says 100,000, missing a zero ‘-)
100,000 or 1,000,000 it’s still a great product by the way!
Our new WooCommerce tagline. Thanks Matt!
How to verify the users Email id. Don’t you have a plugin for Verification.
Fantastic results – Well done. WE love WooCommerce!!!
This is terrific news, Well done to Woothemes and WooCommerce. You have a great product.
Congratulations Woothemes! You have helped so many people build fine websites – looking forward to you celebrating 10 million downloads. 🙂
Congratulations, especially as I see you have had a further 15,522 downloads since passing this milestone.
Put simply, I’m not even looking at using anything else, and when I look at other plugins which enable me to monetise my website, I always look to see if it will work with WooCommerce first.
congrats team! you’re awesome
cheers
you’re the best! Beautiful theme and a great support in every moment! Congratulations!
Outstanding, you guys really deserve this success. I am using your WooCommerce on many sites, it’s by far the best way to transform our WordPress site into a full fledged online store.
Congrats 🙂
CONGRATULATIONS!!! BEST WISHES!!! WOO!!!
Woo!!!
Heartily congratulations!
Though I became a part of WooThemes just 4 days ago (on 13th June), I feel glad that I was able to contribute 1 to that six zeros 😉
I must say you guys have been working very hard out there and so there much be some celebration this evening!
Once again, all the best!
i can’t find any space on the checkout to use that code :\
It’s right here; http://cl.ly/image/1i3D3G1r3g28
Congrats, great news for you and the community, keep up the great work!
This is indeed a great milestone. We don’t generally realize how far we’ve come until we look back.. It’s been phenomenal growth from early days. We are very proud to participate and contribute to the growth!! Time for us to think up another super WooCommerce extension eh?? 🙂
Get your thinking cap on! 😉
I just love WooThemes’ products. You made it possible for me to build an e-commerce website with no (absolutely nothing!) previous experience. People think I’m brilliant!
We where just waiting for that 😉 Happy celebration Woo-Crew, I’ve been following and working with you for a long time. So it’s fun to see that things go well for you.
I’m happy to have you guys as a partner to work with!
Hugs,
I’ve been eyeballing a subscription and was excited when I saw this promotion. I was finally going to pull the trigger and become a member, but it doesn’t work with subscriptions. I’ve bummed. Congrats on the downloads, it looks like I’ll be waiting on the subscription membership.
Sorry this would not work for Club subscriptions (start-up fee).
Other promotions in the past such as black friday have worked also for Club subscriptions.
Guess I’ll have to wait for other promo in the future to get my subscription…
That was one of the first times we ever did promotions on the startup fee, I think we should include them more often. 😉
Mark, use your magic to have this work for the new Developer’s Club and I will purchase it to give it a whirl. I have been with StudioPress for some time now, and while I like their framework, theme’s have been a bit stale.
Give us that push to try something new 😉
Errr… I mean Ryan, sorry buddy.
Blessings!
Wow, congrats! I starting using woocommerce over a year ago didn’t realize how new you guys were. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations to all at Woo, and thank you for creating such a versatile product!
Here’s to the next million.
Congrats WooTeam 🙂
Congratulations! Keep up the great work 🙂
A huge milestone indeed! Congrats and well done guys!
Congrats, lads! Woocommerce have been really useful to my work! really!
Just one question… the coupon will work with the additional coupon club subscribers have?
Excellent themes… keep it up… like to joinn affiliate…
Congrats, Woo – many happy returns!
Congratulations! You guys really are the best.
Happily using your e-commerce solution here: http://getridofsmellnow.com/ Working very well! Would LOVE to get an interface that hooks it up to QuickBooks or something like that!
There are two third party extensions that will help you link your WooCommerce site up to QuickBooks: http://woocommerce.com/product-category/woocommerce-extensions/?s=QuickBooks 🙂
Have watched you guys grow since the beginning. Its been a delight. Hers to many more downloads and years of success.
Congratulations! Well done and definitely deserved! Go on…
Congratulations guys! keep it up
Finding new reasons every day that validate our decision to use Woocommerce so heavily. Great promotion. Might just pick up some new extensions I’ve been looking at for a while now.
Go on, you know you wanna! We’re, obviously, very happy to hear you guys are using WooCommerce more and more!
Congratulations….next is 2 million by the end of the year, right?
If the pace keeps up, of course! 😛
Congrats! It’s an awesome product. Double Woo to you 🙂
Thanks Woothemes for a great Woo-Commerce Plugin 🙂
Fantastic work!
Congrats WooThemes!
We know you are the best theme developer in the market.
Waiting for the boost up of projects from the AWW 🙂
How to verify the users Email id. Don’t you have a plugin for Verification.
We don’t.
If it’s not on our site or linked to from our site, we’re not aware of a solution for it.
I’m sure there are plugins out there to verify email addresses when registering for an account. I’d assume it may work with WooCommerce, but I can’t say anything does.
I held off for a couple of weeks, knowing that there would be a WooThemes discount around the corner. Glad I did. I just bought Woo Subscriptions and couple of extentions with a 30% discount voucher. Thanks very muchly Woo, keep it up! 🙂
I can not purchse anything here – seems not to work…
Message: »Sorry, the transaction was declined. »
not good for advertisement…
As the error message says, contact us! 😉 – help[at]woocommerce.com
We can get that error solved and get your purchase through.
Congrats !!! Lots more to go
Congratulations!
Instead of a discount on plugins – even if it were all plugins 90% off – I’d simply settle for a MarketPress to WooCommerce converter.
It’d only help you guys – and we need it DESPERATELY.
Why not make a suggestion over on our ideasboard? 🙂
Congrats Team
Awesome milestone, congrats guys!
Well done! 🙂
I had 4 items in my cart with the 30% coupon applied, and when I removed 2 of them it set the prices back to normal retail and said the coupon had expired. That sucks! Any way I can get a grace period and purchase those items now, or do I have to wait for the next promo?
Hey Guys,
Is this 30% coupon deal coming along again? In my opinion 48 Hours is too short.
In my case i was away for two days from tech & missed it
Hi there guys congratulations on the milestone but have to agree with aidanodr that 48 hours is far too short especially during main vacation time for a lot of people. Is there anyway the promotion can be extended.
Have to say I agree, i was on a flight from Australia to London and that took up 30 hours, so I missed out as well!
Yeah, the coupon expired before I got paid. Kinda bummed. Now it’s out of my budget again.
A huge milestone indeed.. best of luck to the whole woocommerce team. wish other milestones to come too. cheers.
Congratulations!
It’s a pleasure to be a part of this growing family 😀 I can say I am one of the first 200.000? (or 300.000… well, less of that 500.000 for sure) users of Woocommerce, since we get our copy one year ago. And we are very very happy with our decission.
Or course, I recommend this plugin to everybody that ask me for an ecommerce solution. It’s great, and powerful.
Rafa.
Congrats guys!
Keep going walk
