Have something you need to sell? Our gold-level sponsor WooCommerce provides a solution for you and your WordPress site. Whether you’re selling a few handcrafted items to a niche market, taking an existing business online, or going global with an enterprise level e-commerce business – WooCommerce will get you set up and selling fast and scale securely as you grow.
Founded in 2008, WooCommerce is an open source e-commerce solution that allows you to sell directly from your site, thus giving you ultimate control compared to if you had to redirect your sales page to a different online platform.
For Developers, WooCommerce provides easy-to-create store-front that was designed through the collaborative effort of 350 contributors. WooCommerce uses plugins, extensions, and other developer tools to design the store you want with the documentation you need.
For Store Owners, WooCommerce provides a “one-stop shop” as it includes the ability to feature a variety of digital and physical products, as well as offering a full cart and checkout experience. You can choose themes, colors and other features that blends your online marketplace into the rest of your branding. The ease of adding products and managing the built-in payment process makes WooCommerce an easy choice for more than 28 percent of the world’s e-commerce merchants. What’s more, WooCommerce is a tool that does not take any transaction fees like other online merchant providers.
A company with useful products is made even better with a strong mission in mind. According to the WooCommerce website, they “want to be the ultimate WordPress toolkit provider to empower people to build greater things with WordPress.”

- People are at the heart of all they do, both inside the company and their customers
- Innovation in all forms helps people do great things
- Global thinking with the open-source philosophy in mind
- Growth in all things including influence, skills, services, market share, and thought leadership
