WordPress WooCommerce Cons
Maintenance Costs – If you ever have issues with your WordPress store you have to hire a developer. Find a cheap developer and you might have more issues. This can be a snowball affect.
Managing Plugins – Yes, so all the plugins are great on WordPress. Sometimes those plugins conflict with each other. Activating a plugin might break something on your WordPress store. It is hard to troubleshoot to find out the conflicting plugin and you might have to pay a developer to troubleshoot.
Adding Features – You will need to know how to find and add plugins and features to your WP store. Sometimes we have seen where someone adds a plugin and the feature does not show up. Once again, you will have to reach out to your friendly developer that will love to invoice you a bill!
