Share your knowledge and experience of WooCommerce
This is an online conference organized by the organizing committee with the
However, there are still many people in Japan who don't know about WooCommerce.
First of all, we would like to explain WooCommerce.
What is WooCommerce?

It reads " Woo Commerce ".
Extension plugin to create an online shop in WordPress
If I were to explain WooCommerce in simple terms, I think
"WordPress extension plugin that allows you to create an online shop with WordPress"
would be the most accurate.
Many of you are familiar with WordPress.
More than 40% of the world's websites have been created on WordPress as of October 2021.
WordPress was developed from a blog and is now a CMS (Content Management System) with a mechanism that makes it easier to create websites and manage their contents (pages).
The system is open source software, released free of charge and developed by a large number of contributors (technical support volunteers in layman's terms). The
licence, the GNU General Public License (GPL), makes it available for free use by many people.
Automattic, a company deeply involved in WordPress, is the main developer of WooCommerce. (Strictly speaking, WooCommerce is also open source software, and many contributors have been involved in its development, not just Automattic).
So, if you want to create an online shop with WordPress,
the first choice is often
WooCommerce .
The world's most used open source software online shop system
WooCommerce also provides
The most popular open source software for online shops
The most used in the world today.
It has been said that
Distribution of e-Commerce usage across the Internet
The pie chart shows that Shopify has the highest percentage at 27%, but Shopify is an ASP type, which means that the server and everything else is done for you.
IN THE CASE OF OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE, YOU NEED TO SET UP YOUR OWN SERVER, BUT ALL THE DATA IS MANAGED BY THE SHOP AND CUSTOMISATION IS NOT AS LIMITED AS WITH ASP.
As explained earlier, WooCommerce in particular is closely related to WordPress, so an engineer who can customize WordPress can learn customization skills relatively easily.
And an online shop site 28% share of the top 1 million sites, ahead of Shopify's 21%. in the top 1 million sites.
Distribution of e-Commerce usage in Japan
And as shown in the next graph WooCommerce has a high market share in Japan We are starting to have
In Japan, ASPs such as Shopify (Wix Stores, The Base, Makeshop, Stores JP) are widely used, but open source also has a certain share, and EC cube and WelCart are widely used except WooCommerce. Open source also has some market share.
By the way, WelCart is an extension plugin for WordPress, just like WooCommerce, and it is a genuine Japanese plugin (the main developer is Japanese).
What is an online shop, anyway?
It's obvious that we're calling it an online shop now, but
strictly speaking, WooCommerce is almost
ready for all E-Commerce. We've got you covered.
An online shop is a mail order, right?
For those of you who don't know,
is a form of online shopping.
For example, Netflix is a video-streaming site, but We do E-Commerce, so if you want to create a similar service with WooCommerce, you can do so.
(Mainly in the area of payments and settlements)
Therefore, the WooCommerce can handle the whole range of online payment systems WooCommerce is an online payment system.
For example, it is possible to implement pre-payment for online appointments in salons or in-store payments. (You will need an extension plugin for booking)
It is also possible to sell programs and other products as downloads.
We can also sell products in the form of subscriptions or build crowdfunding sites.
