How has moving your store to WooCommerce with Betheme impacted your e-commerce?

What made you switch from a SaaS platform to your own store on WooCommerce?

On the SaaS platform, we kept hitting limitations - we wanted to add a new feature or change the page layout, and it turned out we had to pay extra for that or it wasn't even an option. On top of that, there were sales thresholds that raised the monthly costs of running the store. We decided it was time for something that would give us full control and scale with the business, so we moved to WooCommerce, using Betheme.

What was the process of building the new store on Betheme like? Was it difficult?

Surprisingly simple and quick. Betheme offers plenty of built-in templates for online stores, so we basically had the framework ready right away. Then, it was just a matter of uploading products, adjusting the colors, adding the logo, and we were good to go. The entire process took just a few days - and we didn't need to involve any developers.

What gives you the most satisfaction when working with your own store on WooCommerce?

Above all, it's complete freedom. Now, if we want to add a new category, change the layout, or add another module, we can do it ourselves, without asking anyone for permission and without extra costs. Plus, we no longer have those ridiculous sales thresholds that increased costs as the number of orders grew. Our store is expanding, and costs remain under control.

Did Betheme make it easier for you to present your products and create an attractive store?

Yes, that's a big advantage. Betheme has great product layouts - from product lists to single product pages, and even sections for recommendations or promotions. Everything can be easily customized for your industry. Customers often praise how much more transparent and user-friendly our new store is compared to the old one on SaaS.

Have you noticed any changes in website traffic or sales results since the move?

Definitely. The site loads faster, which has a positive effect on SEO. Also, the new, more intuitive layout makes it easier for customers to find products and complete purchases quicker. Additionally, thanks to SEO integrations available in WordPress, our rankings on Google began improving within a few weeks. Today, we have more organic traffic and lower advertising costs because the site is now ranking well on its own.

Would you recommend moving to WooCommerce with Betheme to other store owners?

Absolutely. If someone wants full control over their store, make changes themselves, and avoid being limited by a platform's constraints, this is the perfect solution. The costs of running the store are predictable, there are no hidden fees, and the possibilities for growth are virtually unlimited. For growing stores, I believe this is the best option.
