By adding this plugin, you can convert your website into an eCommerce store.<\/p>\n<p>WooCommerce also belongs to the Automatic company, just like WordPress, and hence integrates well with WordPress websites.<\/p>\n<h4>Features:<\/h4>\n<p>By downloading the WooCommerce plugin, you can manage orders, track shipments, handle inventory, sort your taxes and do much more under one roof- which is your WordPress website.<\/p>\n<p>With WooCommerce, you can also access a wide range of tools, plugins, and extensions. However, it is important to know that not all of them are free to use and you also may need technical expertise to make the most out of them.<\/p>\n<h4>Design:<\/h4>\n<p>WooCommerce clearly has the upper hand when it comes to design as you will have access to the extensive theme library of WordPress and you also have the option to upload your own theme.<\/p>\n<p>Again, when it comes to customization, having coding and computing skills can make things a lot easier. Else you may have to hire a developer to set things up for you!<\/p>\n<h4>Pricing:<\/h4>\n<p>Though WooCommerce is a free plugin, there are a lot of additional costs and hidden charges that end up costing a lot more than expected.

If you want to get started quickly on your eCommerce store where you can sell products and make money, then choose Volusion!<\/p>\n<h4>Features:<\/h4>\n<p>As mentioned above, Volusion is very eCommerce focused and hence has a power-packed range of sales features. You can add product videos along with their images. Visual cues help a lot in increasing sales.<\/p>\n<p>It also comes with a \u2018suggested products\u2019 feature which keeps the customers browsing for more and even purchasing. The only feature it lacks is selling digital products.<\/p>\n<h4>Design:<\/h4>\n<p>Do not choose Volusion if you are looking for an aesthetically pleasing storefront. They do have a range of well-designed templates. However, the customization is difficult, and it is also very limited.<\/p>\n<p>The front end is known to be too hard to navigate. Hence, you cannot achieve very minute-level customization of the themes.<\/p>\n<h4>Pricing:<\/h4>\n<p>Volusion is one of the eCommerce platforms that come under the \u2018expensive\u2019 category.
