Stripe is usually better for WooCommerce if you want the smoothest online checkout, strong subscription support, and broad payment methods like Apple Pay and Google Pay. It has excellent developer tools, reliable webhooks, and often better global coverage. Square is better if you sell both online and in-person, because it unifies POS, inventory, and payments in one system. Square can simplify retail operations, but some WooCommerce features and extensions work more naturally with Stripe. Fees are similar, so decide based on your workflow: online-first stores usually pick Stripe, while physical shops or pop-up sellers often pick Square. Also check availability, ...Read more

You can change WooCommerce product and cart layouts in three main ways. First, use a WooCommerce-ready theme and adjust layout settings in Appearance > Customize or the Site Editor (columns, sidebar, gallery, blocks). Second, use a page builder like Elementor/Divi with WooCommerce widgets to redesign single product, shop, and cart templates without coding. Third, customize templates and hooks: copy WooCommerce template files into a child theme, edit them, and use hooks to move price, tabs, upsells, and cross-sells. For carts, you can edit the Cart block layout or override cart.php. Always test mobile and clear cache on a staging site.

Customize WooCommerce product pages by starting with a child theme, so updates stay safe. Use the WordPress Site Editor or your theme’s WooCommerce templates to adjust layout, gallery, and blocks. For no-code design, use a builder like Elementor, Divi, or Gutenberg product blocks to rebuild sections. Add custom tabs, badges, and trust elements using WooCommerce hooks or lightweight plugins. Use Product Add-Ons for extra fields, options, and upsells. Edit typography and spacing with CSS, not heavy plugins. Test variable products, mobile view, and checkout flow. Always work on staging, then push changes live. Track conversions and speed after every change.

Wix is better if you want a quick, all-in-one website with hosting, templates, and simple drag-and-drop editing. It suits small catalogs and service businesses that don’t need complex store features. WooCommerce is better if you want full control, stronger SEO with WordPress, advanced product options, flexible checkout, and endless extensions. It scales well, but you must manage hosting, updates, and security, or hire support. Costs: Wix is predictable monthly; WooCommerce can start cheap but grows with plugins and hosting. Choose Wix for simplicity and speed. Choose WooCommerce for flexibility, ownership, and long-term growth. Both can sell online; your needs decide.

WooPayments isn’t the same as Stripe, but it is powered by Stripe. WooPayments is a WooCommerce payment solution built by Automattic that uses Stripe’s infrastructure for card processing, payouts, and fraud tools. You manage everything inside your WordPress dashboard (payments, disputes, refunds, deposits), while Stripe runs the behind-the-scenes processing. The separate “Stripe for WooCommerce” plugin connects your store directly to a Stripe account and gives you more Stripe-specific controls. WooPayments can be simpler for WooCommerce users, but availability, features, and linking an existing Stripe account can vary by country. Fees are usually similar, and both support Apple Pay and subscriptions.
