SEO is the main reason for choosing WordPress. It is very close to SEO with woocomerce. We also know it’s easy to develop. For example, compared with other platforms, WordPress can be developed in two weeks and takes two months. The third reason for choosing WordPress and woocommerce is that we know that extension requires a lot of space and there are not enough plug-ins and extensions to easily create it. Fourth, other platforms believe that server costs lead to higher maintenance costs. Therefore, in the long run, word press based deployment is more efficient.
We hope to start and run as soon as possible. Woocomerce is a good way to achieve this. Q. We only introduced the extended function on codecanyon. Why move to the woocommerce marketplace?

Therefore, we changed the codeanywhere profile to non exclusive and added products to the website and woocommerce marketplace, opening up multiple sales channels.

We work in the e-commerce industry and have developed more than 120 extensions for various platforms, so we know what’s available. Of course, we try to read the forum in order to better listen to customers and understand what people want.
If there is a pool of extended functions that looks promising, a marketing survey will be conducted on the extended functions according to their potential and uniqueness.
