In some cases you may not even need to install extra plugins to your existing setup. So, for example, let’s imagine you want to sell physical items from your WordPress website. WooCommerce is easily a first choice for most of us, and is arguably one of the best WordPress e-commerce plugin solutions available.

However, let’s now say that you have a Printful store, or a smaller store such as a Sellfy. Basically, you want to sell your own products or creative services and you’re not necessarily seeking to build a full-on ‘Amazon’, although, you wouldn’t mind the capability at a later date. 

Anyway, in such cases WooCommerce may not be necessary or even applicable for your specific needs. 

Fortunately, you can still benefit from using WordPress with some form of integration between your Sellfy or Printful store. Printful and Sellfy, will allow you to embed “buy” buttons, product images and other code to your site.

Now, contrary to my previous comment, whilst I say you may not need additional plugins, most integrations will require some form of action from your end. Which indeed, may include you having to download and install a special plugin. Fortunately, by replacing and deleting redundant plugins, this may also result in better performance as well as using fewer plugins from different sources. 

However, ultimately the best choice for you really depends on, I would say, first your temperament, and secondly, what it is your specific business does or offers, plus why you actually need a website.

Assuming that you build client, or your own websites, if you can tick these boxes, then you’re probably in the right mindset for finding exactly what you want.

You see, ideally you’ll also want to use themes and plugins that readily accommodate all the functionalities necessary in order for your site to work in the way that you intended. 

You want to provide your audience with a user-friendly interface that will not easily fall apart due to incompatibility and other technical issues.

You want something reliable and complete, something intuitive enough to get your head around.
