Integration: You NEED a WooCommerce Store!

If you want to sell custom apparel and accessories online, you have to make sure that you're doing it effectively, efficiently and above all profitably! There are lots of platforms on which to build a store and then build an audience; examples include Shopify, TikTok, Etsy and Order Desk. Stores on all of these platforms can be connected and integrated with Texprint. 

Another integration we offer is with WooCommerce, which is the subject of this week's edition of the Texprint blog. 

WooCommerce is a leading open-source commerce solution that was built for WordPress. It was founded as WooThemes back in 2008 by Mark Forrester from the UK, Adii Pienaar from South Africa and Magnus Jepson from Norway.

WooCommerce was their first plugin which, after being released in 2011, soon became the internet's fastest-growing ecommerce platform. Today, WooCommerce boasts over 400 team members located all over the world.  

Whether you're right at the start of your journey or are planning to expand your existing business, integrating a WooCommerce store with Texprint is a great idea. Let's take a look at some of the platform's big advantages... 

WooCommerce was created with the express intention to 'democratise commerce' and so its interface has been designed to be simple to use for everyone, regardless of their level of experience. Each user gets access to a detailed, fully-personalised dashboard that enables them to manage every aspect of their store.

Setting up a WooCommerce store doesn't cost a penny and a huge proportion of its many powerful features are also provided free of charge. As your business grows, you can start using premium add-ons to increase the functionality of your store. It's not pay as you go, it's pay as you GROW! Lots of competitors charge fixed fees and subscriptions but with WooCommerce you only need to pay for the premium features that your store really needs.

As the world of ecommerce grows, so too does the number of people acting dishonestly. Scammers are always trying to attack, stealing money and sensitive data; this has made consumers much more concerned with security. WooCommerce operates some of the strongest security measures, helping to protect your store and its users, which helps to foster a sense of trust and loyalty. Operating on the WordPress platform, WooCommerce benefits from crucial security updates and code reviews on a regular basis.

No matter how good your products are (and when you get them from Texprint, they're amazing!), you're never going to sell any if people don't find your store in the first place. WooCommerce offers you an array of tools that help you to optimise your store, ensuring that it achieves high rankings on search engine results pages.

It's easy to integrate your WooCommerce store with Texprint and our interface can be accessed from the moment you've registered for an account with us. To help you through the process, we've created a step-by-step guide which you can view on the Texprint YouTube channel. Connect your store TODAY!
