As a WooCommerce service provider, it is always interesting to learn about the latest trends in the ecommerce market. There are a lot of alternatives for building ecommerce websites. There are standalone platforms like Magento, Shopify, BigCommerce; WordPress plugins like WooCommerce & Easy Digital Downloads and third-party tools like Samcart, Amazon, etc.
It is really interesting to see that WooCommerce has 3+ million active installs (as of Feb 2018) and has a current market share of 42% of the entire internet (Source: BuiltWith).
Selling products; digital or physical is pretty common. Ecommerce websites are serving food & beverage industry, clothing & fashion industry. Then there are electronic goods, books and ebooks, tech gear, jewellery, art and craft articles, all kinds of accessories and so on.
WooCommerce has taken the entire ecommerce game plan to a new level by serving service sector too. You can build online learning system, bookings and accommodations system, subscription based services on WooCommerce and that too without reinventing the wheel. There are WooCommerce extensions to help you get started without putting in much time and effort. Well, that is one of the reasons for such a massive market share.
Choosing the platform is the technical side of things. For running a successful online store, you have to give equal importance to user experience & graphic design. User experience plays an important role in converting the visitors into buyers. I was doing some research and I stumbled across WooCommerce Showcase. It is a great source of design inspiration for ecommerce websites and it was impressive to see the beautifully designed online stores powered by WooCommerce.
