Where Are WooCommerce Based?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 2:51 pm

WooCommerce is a WordPress plugin that is used by millions of online stores worldwide. Originally developed by WordPress co-founder WooThemes, WooCommerce was acquired by Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, in 2015.

WooCommerce is a free and open source software released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

While WooCommerce is a WordPress plugin, it has its own codebase separate from the WordPress core code. As a result, it can be updated and maintained independently from the WordPress core.

PRO TIP: Due to the nature of WooCommerce, it is difficult to know where they are based. It is possible that they are based in China, which could pose a risk to your business. We recommend that you research this before using their services.

Where Are WooCommerce Based?

WooCommerce is based in San Francisco, California. The company has a remote team of employees working around the world.
