Real eCommerce Goes Beyond Good-looking

Squarespace makes it possible for anyone to design a good-looking website, but to build and run a successful store you might require more.

For a flexible eCommerce platform that scales, multiple payment options, a marketplace of extensions, full control to customize your site, and zero transaction fees: try WooCommerce.

What to Expect From WooCommerce

Full Control for End-to-End Design

Squarespace is a closed solution. It offers a measure of design freedom but limits options to truly own and customize your site’s design.

WooCommerce offers the freedom of open source: full code access and ownership, the option to customize and integrate any service, and export data.

A Marketplace of Customization Options

Squarespace doesn’t offer much beyond basic eCommerce functionality. There are just two payment gateways, and no option for point-of-sale or drop-shipping.

WooCommerce has a marketplace of extensions to add functionality, integrate with leading web services like Facebook, Google Shopping, Square, and Facebook, plus a wide range of payment options.

Zero Transaction Fees from Day One

Whether you’re launching a complex eCommerce solution or bootstrapping a side project, WooCommerce can be stripped back or scaled to suit any budget.

Start with the basics and keep costs low, and enjoy zero transaction fees from day one.
