Digital product sales with the tax handled
Lemon Squeezy sells digital products and handles the tax itself, free to start, no hosting or extensions to add up the way WooCommerce's total cost does.
Templates that look designed out of the box
Squarespace looks designed out of the box and bills monthly for hosting and updates handled for you, at $19, the platform WooCommerce's owners are trading maintenance to avoid.
Digital delivery billed flat, with no cut of sales
SendOwl bills a flat $32.50 a month with no free tier and no cut of sales, a hosted delivery tool that skips WooCommerce's hosting and update work entirely.
A hosted store priced against how much you sell
BigCommerce is a hosted store priced against how much you sell, at $29 with no free tier, the monthly bill WooCommerce's zero platform fee is built to avoid.
A storefront for downloads and merch
Sellfy hosts a storefront for both downloads and merch, from $29 with no free tier, a recurring bill that trades away the hosting and updates WooCommerce leaves you to own.
A small shop for people who make things
Big Cartel is a small shop for people who make things, with a free tier and plans from $15, lighter than owning WooCommerce's hosting and updates for a handful of products.
A store that bolts onto a site you already have
Ecwid bolts a store onto a site you already have instead of requiring WordPress specifically, at $5 with no free tier, hosted rather than self-run.
