WooCommerce should be filling the role of viable self host alternative to Shopify, but it falls short. Even with the plugin ecosystem, it is much harder to run an quality cart and checkout.
Congrats on your launch!
Have you tried it with Stripe Link? This reduces the entire checkout process to just four (4) clicks; no need to fill out forms as long as your details have been saved from a previous purchase elsewhere on the Internet.
Thank you for the kind words!
WooCommerce itself is mostly fine as a backend, but the themes for it (including the built-in/free ones) are mostly awful. Ugly layouts, huge bloated payloads, and checkouts that look so unprofessional most people will think they're fraudulent.
There are good themes out there but you'll be paying decent money for them.
we're also working on themes, which will be based on shadcn UI.
