WordPress and WooCommerce


What is WordPress?
WordPress is a content management system.
WordPress is therefore analogous to “Windows” on your PC
WordPress has core functionality in allowing you to edit and design a website, but lacks the functionality to create a fully functional eCommerce store.
What is WooCommerce?
WooCommerce is a “Plugin”.
WooCommerce is therefore analogous to “Microsoft Office” on your PC or Mac – and operates as a piece of software inside your WordPress Content Management System.
How else are WordPress and WooCommerce Different and Related?
Both WordPress and WooCommerce are developed and owned by Automatic.
Automatic is like the “Microsoft” in our Analogy – both owning and developing the operating system (Windows) and the software (MS Office)
Automatic started with WordPress and over the course of time have acquired various other well known brands of opensource software.
WooCommerce was one of those acquisitions.
Why isn’t WooCommerce just integrated into WordPress?
Not all WordPress users are eCommerce store owners.
But ALL WooCommerce users are WordPress users.
A bit like all thumbs are fingers, but not all fingers are thumbs!
Bloating the core WordPress content management system with unnecessary eCommerce functionality wouldn’t make for a great user experience for WordPress users who aren’t eCommerce store owners.
WordPress is the most used content management system online. Hell, even BBC America use it to run their website and host all of their content provision – yes it’s THAT powerful.
WordPress can be used to create websites that run online courses, directories, video sharing, photo sharing, membership sites – there’s a whole bunch of things you can install on WordPress to make it do what YOU need it to. Just like installing software on your computer.
WooCommerce is just one of those pieces of Software – albeit one of the more powerful and more fundamental pieces of software.
What Is The Difference Between WordPress and WooCommerce?
In short, WordPress is a content management system, whilst WooCommerce is a piece of software (a plugin) that is designed FOR the WordPress Content Management System (or CMS for short)

You may have wondered is it possible to have more than one checkout page for different products and product categories on a WordPress website using WooCommerce?
The answer is yes – it’s completely possible and in many cases makes a lot of sense to do so.
Your next question might be “Can you create multiple checkout pages in WooCommerce without customizing the code?
The great news is – YES!
You don’t need to touch the WordPress or WooCommerce code to be able offer a different checkout page for each product with WooCommerce.
This is contrary to almost all the reading you’ll do out there on this topic. The top Google Search Result for the query “woocommerce multiple checkout pages” is a WordPress.org support thread on the WooCommerce plugin referring to custom coding being required – with no offer of an actual answer.
