WooCommerce is the world's most popular e-commerce plugin for WordPress, powering approximately 25% of all online stores globally — including millions of independent retailers, digital product sellers, and subscription businesses. As an open-source WordPress plugin, WooCommerce is free to install with revenue coming from paid extensions for payment gateways, shipping carriers, subscriptions, and product types. It inherits WordPress's entire plugin and theme ecosystem, making it extremely flexible for complex e-commerce requirements. WooCommerce stores are identifiable through woocommerce and wc- prefixed CSS classes (wc-block-product-query, woocommerce-cart), wc- prefixed JavaScript globals, WordPress's /wp-content/ directory paths, and the WooCommerce generator meta tag. The window.woocommerce_params and window.wc_cart_fragments_params JavaScript objects are reliable browser-side detection signals.
