Do you know what an online auction is? I bet you do, and you probably already considered selling products on the Ebay network, the number one name in the field who built an empire on this method of sales and got millions of people used to buying online for their best offers, taking part in a sort of race to the purchase. Users who are interested in auctions are moved by the chance to get items at low prices and motivated to make a bid which in most cases turns into an immediate raise as soon as they are outbid.

You obsessively take care of your site every day, you control everything, from the smallest expense to the pleasant income. Then, while you are checking every single order, you find out that you have to delete some of the sales because they are fraudulent purchases. Scams.

You have designed a modern and functional e-commerce shop where you sell quality products at competitive prices. Yet, no one knows your website and visits are running low as well as the orders: in practise, you are the owner of a wonderful shop hidden in a low traffic street. What you need can be summarized in one word: visibility. Think of third parties sharing your products on their sites, thus giving them more visibility: you would certainly turn more visits into a huge increase in sales, with no effort and in exchange of a commission – that you set – on the price of sold items. A partnership that only makes winners!

Reviews are the key element of any e-commerce site: feedback from customers that have already bought a product or service from your website are vital for your activity to obtain online credibility. Consider the importance that the world’s leading sales platforms such as Amazon give to reviews. It’s easy to understand why: each review is made by a customer that ensures the quality of your products, a selfless opinion that will undoubtedly affect sales more than anything else vendors might say. Thanks to YITH WooCommerce Advanced Reviews you can provide your reviews with that extra touch that will give them extra visibility and boost your sales.

Product variations don’t always satisfy the customers’ needs. Imagine selling wedding rings. The one who purchases them has a specific need, such as the possibility to add a brief sentence or to choose weight, color, size and sparkle. These parameters are difficult to be implemented in a product and they would cause a price change according to users’ chosen combinations. Thanks to YITH WooCommerce Product Add-ons you can offer custom products based on your customers’ need, in order to give them a chance to see and purchase exactly the product they are after, immediately increasing your sales and improving customers satifsfaction.

You will have set in motion all the nuts and bolts to make them happy and satisfied, but...there is something else you could do and you probably don't know about yet. Have you ever thought that your regular customers could also pay before purchasing a product or a service? Do you think this is absurd?

In the online business era, where always more stores and companies offer their products and services in a network, the way to launch a commercial activity also evolved. Sometimes, to start an online business, all you need is the right idea and one or more partners with whom you are sharing the same point of view. So, when your e-commerce is ready to be launched and you took everything into account, here's the problem arising: alright, you have planned to share by 50%, but how will you put it into practice? Who will receive the payment when the first customer purchases one of your products with a credit card? How will it be split based on the commissions you have agreed upon?

Selling products all over the world implies having to deal with different shipping fees for each state, region or city. Luckily, by using the native WooCommerce options, we can easily fix this issue, but it won’t be so easy in case the shipping fees need to be edited for each single product. WooCommerce doesn’t allow that. What if you need to sell products that require different shipping fees? Imagine selling a product that might require higher or lower shipping fees according to where in the world it needs shipping. WooCommerce would not be able to help in any way, not without a substantial amount of editing in the code, which would be costly.
