User Testimonials
	Laravel E Commerce	WooCommerce
Likelihood to Recommend	Well, in case of designing dynamic websites using core OOP concepts this framework is perfect. However, in case of integrating with web services and other API's and developing features for Android apps this might not be a good product. Incentivized HASAN SARFRAZ Web Develoepr Read full review	WooCommerce is best suited to customers whose website is built on the WordPress platform, and whose development team has a good understanding of plug-in implementation. If your website is not built on WordPress, but on Laravel or React (or any other non WordPress technology), then WooCommerce is not for you. WooCommerce is also great for customers who just need a simple online shopping experience. If your needs involve more complex or immersive features such as timed discounts, pick up locations, delivery reminders, or post shopping feedback surveys, know that you will need to purchase additional add-ons to make to get these features using WooCommerce set up on WordPress.

Pros	Version Controlling - It's on the top of my list that Laravel does great as its built-in features. As Laravel supports OOP concept, so it has made it much more easier for developers to developer apps in most recent languages. It supports a huge collection of free extensions which are easy available in its store. It supports a large number of latest programming languages. Incentivized HASAN SARFRAZ Web Develoepr Read full review	Free base package means I can use it when I need to and not pay for it when I'm not using it I can customize the e-commerce options and integrate the calendar booking Payment processing is quick and easy and I can choose my provider Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	In some cases developers need to integrate with third party apps. Laravel E Commerce needs to improve it in the form of a single package. It consumes a lot of system resources and sometimes gets stuck if multiple projects are open. Finding error is this framework is a quite difficult task. This mechanism needs to be improved. Incentivized HASAN SARFRAZ Web Develoepr Read full review	Does not provide everything out of the box, for certain features you will have to install additional plugins. Their own addon plugins are costly. The Order table uses wp posts meta table, For those who have good amount of orders coming in, the table will keep getting larger by time that it might hog the server. Incentivized Kaushik Somaiya Owner Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	Despite very rare glitches, more connected to an excessive number of plugins, that affect the speed of the site, we are extremely satisfied with the platform, the ability to import and export products, even though we just export them, as we have our proprietary system for updating inventories. We love the ease of upgrading, enhancing, innovating, and the freedom we have to do whatever we want, which is a plus, when you consider Shopify can take down your whole store as they please, if they think you aren't abiding to their TOS or their ever changing set of rules. Incentivized Rick Fitzgerald Owner/CEO Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	WooCommerce is highly customizable, feature rich, matured, ever evolving, and regularly updated plugin for WordPress. Since it is already extremely popular, you can find online tutorials to help you get started. Even if you face a problem, you can quickly get a solution from a helpful online community. You can use most of the popular payment gateways with WooCommerce. Besides that you have a full control over your website/shop.

Alternatives Considered	Laravel E Commerce is simple, elegant and robust. It is easy to use and customize websites even for a newbie. It does not require much effort as compared to other products. All the relevant data is available over the Internet which is a great advantage for beginners. It comes with a lot of stunning features. Incentivized HASAN SARFRAZ Web Develoepr Read full review	WooCommerce is cheaper and more customizable, making it easy to create a great-looking product and a polished purchasing and checkout experience. Our BigCommerce site required significant custom coding to get the desired functionality. That said, BigCommerce has been a very stable and reliable experience, whereas our WooCommerce site has had some security and reliability issues. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	With this framework, analytics can be set using PHP modules that helps to get more profit from your online stores. If payment securities can be further improved, it helps you to make most out of your investment. With Laravel E Commerce, Ecommerce solutions can be built for profit purposes. Incentivized HASAN SARFRAZ Web Develoepr Read full review	Being so easy to implement, I can design client websites and get their e-commerce store up and running easily. Because I turn over control of site management to my client after design is finished, WooCommerce is easy for them to learn and manage themselves. The customization options have allowed me to find solutions for most every business need. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
