Our advice would be to go with the premium kind since for a little bit of money, you get tons of beautifully designed features, regular updates that keep your website protected, as well as professional support. Free themes don\u2019t come with that many elements, and you\u2019d probably have to buy multiple plugins to make up for where the theme lacks in functionality.

We\u2019re not sure why you\u2019d want to, tho, since WooCommerce is so amazingly comprehensive and feature-rich, but leaving that aside, you can definitely combine WordPress with some other platform for online shops.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Shopify is a tremendously popular eCommerce platform, and probably the biggest contender to the online shopping throne. It is a complex, feature-rich and &#8211; what\u2019s very important &#8211; managed platform. It\u2019s more expensive than WooCommerce (which is free, as we know) but it does have its virtues.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Now, starting for scratch and opting for a Shopify+WordPress <a href=\"https:\/\/syncspider.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">e-commerce integration<\/a> is probably not the smartest thing to do, as these are two separate platforms. What you can do, however, is <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/how-to-add-shopify-to-wordpress\">connect your already established Shopify store to your WordPress website<\/a>. You can add a <em>Buy Now<\/em> button to your pages, or sell your Shopify catalog through your WordPress website.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]It\u2019s not just Shopify, though. There are a bunch of very good <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/best-woocommerce-alternatives-for-wordpress-online-store\/\">WooCommerce alternatives<\/a> you can use, in the form of plugins, to add eCommerce functionality to your site.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Still, we have to be completely honest &#8211; none of these alternatives will work as well, as easily and as reliably as WooCommerce.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;68px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"qodef-h4\">What\u2019s the Verdict? Is WordPress the Right Choice for an Ecommerce Website?<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The answer is &#8211; a thousand times yes. You can tweak every element whenever need be, until you\u2019re entirely content with the outcome. Help is at your fingertips at all times, and most importantly, you can give your customers exactly what they expect and want. The number of available eCommerce-specific themes is mind-numbing, and even if you opt for a premium solution, you\u2019ll get a great value for your money, so don\u2019t be scared of spending extra few bucks. Most importantly, WordPress lets you add WooCommerce to your website, and that alone is a reason that should win you over. This combo is surely just what you need for the amounts to start rolling in.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019d like to build an eCommerce website, there\u2019s no better platform for it than WordPress.
