TRANSCRIPT
Both osCommerce and WooCommerce are popular and widely used shopping carts. They both
have their fans. But choosing an e-Commerce solution is often a matter of taste.
One of the distinguishing features of WooCommerce is the fact that it is not a separate platform,
but actually a plugin for WordPress, a leading content management system (CMS). This feature
gives you an opportunity to extend your online store in many ways. Also, there is a number of
WooCommerce extensions and themes, intended to equip a WooCommerce shop with new
features and change the way it looks. You may be attracted by the platform’s design, its high
functionality, user-friendliness or promotional tools. Whatever your reasons are, if you are going
to migrate from osCommerce to WooCommerce, Cart2Cart will help you with this task.
