Whereas you need tech skills or third-party assistance to set up your WooCommerce store and make customisations, Builder.ai handles all the technical requirements in house.
Read moreThis allows us to speed up the delivery of your online store to as little as 1 week, whereas you’ll wait for at least 3-4 weeks with WooCommerce.
What’s more, our Studio Store package comes complete with 24 months of aftercare, ensuring bugs and out-of-date software don’t harm your conversions.
To build a website or app using WooCommerce, you either need to do it yourself or hire third-party developers. So even though WooCommerce is a free open-source platform, you may need to pay setup and maintenance fees, while web hosting, domain registration, themes, plugins and payment processing all come at an additional cost.
Read moreBy contrast, with Builder.ai, there are no third parties involved. That means you know the total amount you’ll pay for your store before you make any commitments. This fee is then divided into 24 affordable monthly payments.
WooCommerce is an open-source platform, meaning you don’t own the code of your website or app. This makes it challenging to create custom functionality or migrate your store to another platform without starting from scratch.
Read moreBut with Builder.ai, there’s no vendor lock-in, and you keep your code once your payment plan is complete, meaning you have freedom to scale without us.
What’s more, you can add a range of ecommerce features through our StorePlus expansion pack to cater to emerging business needs. This includes everything from abandoned cart campaigns to advanced reporting, while loyalty and referral programs, custom forms and more are also available.
You can also customise your store template with Builder.ai at any time and bulk upload products to your inventory to save time.
