Is WooCommerce a Private Company?

Last updated on January 16, 2023 @ 2:48 pm

Yes, WooCommerce is a private company. It is not a subsidiary of WordPress, though it is developed by the same team that built WordPress.com (Automattic, Inc).

WooCommerce is an eCommerce plugin for WordPress that enables you to turn your WordPress site into an online store. It is the most popular eCommerce platform on the web, powering over 30% of all online stores.

While WooCommerce is free to use, there are also premium extensions and themes available for purchase. These can be used to add additional functionality and customization to your store.

WooCommerce is a private company owned by Automattic, Inc. Automattic is also the company behind WordPress.com, Jetpack, and Gravatar. As a private company, WooCommerce does not have to disclose its financials or business operations to the public.
