WooCommerce
Turn your WordPress site into a full online store.
What is it?
WooCommerce is a free WordPress plugin that adds a complete online store to your website. You can list products with photos and descriptions, set prices, manage inventory, accept payments (Razorpay, PayU, Stripe, COD), send order confirmation emails, and print invoices — all from your WordPress dashboard.
Why does your website need it?
Building a custom eCommerce system from scratch costs lakhs of rupees and months of development time. WooCommerce gives you a production-grade store in a day. It handles GST-compliant invoicing, shipping integrations (Shiprocket, Delhivery), coupon codes, and customer accounts out of the box. Because it runs on WordPress, you can add features via plugins rather than paying a developer every time.
How does it work?
WooCommerce extends WordPress by adding custom post types for Products and Orders, and custom database tables for cart, order, and product data. When a customer adds an item to cart, WooCommerce stores the cart in session data. At checkout, it processes payment through your chosen payment gateway's API, updates order status in the database, and triggers email notifications via WordPress's mail system.
WooCommerce is included in every VillageHosting plan.
