How to create an online store?

A common question is 'How do I create an online store?' There is no single answer. Options depend on your activity, investment readiness, business scope and many other factors.

Many small businesses choose WordPress to build their online stores. There are many reasons, and this article explores some of the platform's advantages.

WooCommerce and WordPress


What is WooCommerce? It is a WordPress extension for creating an online store. It lets you sell goods, services and more.

The application is free, and WordPress is easy to use and flexible, allowing many additional extensions to be added as you work. WordPress's advantage over other platforms is precisely its capacity for modification, much of which is completely free. 

Equally important is that WordPress supports mobile devices, which customers increasingly use, including for online shopping.

All of this makes WooCommerce a popular choice for e-commerce, especially among smaller companies. In fact, more than 30% of websites engaged in this type of commerce have been found to use this application.

Advantages of WooCommerce

It is a completely free extension. To create your online store, choose a reliable hosting company. Use the application in its complete form and add only the features you need, while retaining your existing WordPress plugins.

WordPress and all applications created for the platform are fully open source. If you have specific requirements, you can consult a specialist and completely customize your online store.

WooCommerce—for small businesses

As we have seen, many businesses choose WooCommerce. It is particularly suitable for smaller companies looking to make a more limited investment in their online store. Unlike other platforms, many WordPress plugins are free. This should not be underestimated. You can test and experiment with extensions until you find what you need. Other platforms do not offer this freedom, or at least not for free.

Equally important is that many specialists in Bulgaria work with the platform. Even if you have custom requirements for your online store, you can contact an expert who can complete your project in just a few days. This is not the case with other platforms and SaaS solutions.

The best thing about WordPress is that you can launch your online store almost immediately. The platform is very simple. You do not need to be a specialist to use it and sell through it. Even on your own, without assistance, you can create a store and start your small business in just a few days. You only need to pay for hosting and a domain.

Once you have created your store, or if you already have one, you will probably also need retail software to make the sales process considerably easier. I-Cash is exactly this kind of software.
