common questions
Is WooCommerce free?
Yes, WooCommerce is a free, open-source ecommerce platform for WordPress. There is no cost for the software itself. It advertises selling without monthly platform fees.
Where does WooCommerce store my data?
By default, WooCommerce data is stored in your website host's database, like the rest of your WordPress installation. WooCommerce itself offers no default regional hosting or universal DPA.
Does WooCommerce have AI features?
Yes. WooCommerce AI adds an assistant to your WordPress admin. You can ask questions about your store, work on unpublished product drafts and review supported changes before applying them. Third-party AI extensions exist too.
Does WooCommerce handle 301 redirects?
Yes. Built-in canonical redirect functionality automatically 301 redirects old product URLs to the new canonical URL. Server-level redirects such as .htaccess and official redirect plugins also work.
Can I export my store from WooCommerce?
Only in part. Blueprints export settings, themes and plugins as a JSON file for another WooCommerce site. They do not include products, orders or customers, and the site is not exportable as a runnable copy.
