WooCommerce Shipping Integration with uAfrica

What is WooCommerce?

WooCommerce is a free WordPress plugin that adds eCommerce functionality to your WordPress website. This plugin turns your website into a fully-functional eCommerce website in minutes. WooCommerce is entirely open source, which means you can modify and customise anything and everything. Because you have complete control, you can add unlimited products and users, and integrate with almost any service. WooCommerce is developer-friendly and designed for small to large-sized online merchants using WordPress. From physical products and digital downloads, you can sell anything with WooCommerce. It’s also made to work alongside your favourite WordPress plugins, so you can keep the features you already love, or add additional features or plugins to create a truly unique experience for your customers. 

Unrestricted customisation. Seamless integration. Unique, streamlined, effortless.  

Why WooCommerce?

WooCommerce stores are free to create because both WordPress and the plugin are free. You may, however, need to spend a bit of money on things like web hosting.
