3,876,748 websites use WooCommerce which is 0.2% of all websites. 26% of the top 1 million eCommerce sites are using WooCommerce. That puts things into perspective a little and shows us just how popular WooCommerce really is.
In terms of eCommerce platforms, WooCommerce leads the way when it comes to eCommerce sites. It’s even ahead of Magento and Shopify which is saying something. WordPress coupled with WooCommerce is a market leader and I can only see them taking bigger slices of the pie as the years go on.
