Webito vs WooCommerce
WooCommerce is flexible, but building a real business on it means juggling dozens of separate plugins for wholesale, weights, scale settlements, speed, and invoicing. They conflict on updates, slow down your site, and add costly annual renewals. Webito delivers these capabilities built right into its core platform.
Ending the plugin conflict nightmare
On WooCommerce, every essential capability — from payment gateways and official invoicing to wholesale pricing, SMS alerts, and site caching — requires buying and maintaining a separate plugin from a different vendor. The result is recurring plugin conflicts, a sluggish website, and the risk of checkout breaking during your biggest sales campaigns. In Webito, these capabilities are built into one unified platform that works reliably with zero plugins to install or update.
Real commerce doesn't work in whole numbers: Decimal selling & scale settlement
WooCommerce was designed for retail items sold in single integer pieces (like clothes or shoes). If you trade in food products, produce, steel, textiles, building supplies, or raw chemicals where you quote per ton or meter, sell in bags or cartons, and reconcile bills against certified scale tickets, WooCommerce hits a brick wall. Webito natively supports 4-decimal precision, multiple packaging options for one product, and two-phase scale ticket settlement so inventory and accounting always balance perfectly.
Wholesale, RFQs, and customer credit on one unified catalog
Serving commercial partners on WooCommerce usually means stacking several bulky B2B plugins that slow down checkout and fragment the buyer experience. In Webito, retail shoppers and business clients share a single catalog. When verified corporate buyers log in, they automatically see tiered bulk discounts, can submit requests for quote (RFQ) with negotiation history, and check out using approved credit limits or net terms.
AI built for real store operations, not just drawing a website
On WooCommerce, AI is typically limited to generating product descriptions. Webito puts AI to work inside day-to-day operations: customer AI shopping assistants (like corporate procurement bots) can search stock and place orders directly without passwords or captchas; orders received via emails or messages can be automatically converted into official store orders; and your team can manage inventory and pricing faster with intelligent assistance.
Compare the true cost of ownership: 0% platform commission
WooCommerce appears free at first, but running a serious store requires high-performance hosting, dozens of annual plugin licenses, theme fees, and ongoing developer retainers to fix crashes. With Webito, you pay one predictable monthly subscription with 0% platform commission on your sales, while high-speed cloud hosting, security, automatic SSL, and daily backups are fully managed for you.

Moving from WooCommerce
What changes, what carries over, and what to check before you switch.
Yes. You can display headline prices per ton, meter, or kilogram and let customers purchase in bags, cartons, or pallets. Webito automatically tracks base inventory and calculates exact totals with decimal precision.
Regular retail shoppers only see standard retail pricing. Once a verified business buyer logs in, tiered volume pricing tables, minimum order quantities (MOQ), and invoice credit terms automatically appear.
Webito equips your store with a standardized channel so customer AI assistants can check live stock, request wholesale quotes, and generate secure checkout links without getting blocked by captchas or complex forms.
Yes. Products, variants, customer profiles, and order histories can be imported smoothly via Webito's migration tools, while maintaining existing URL structures to protect your Google search rankings.
A serious WooCommerce store typically spends substantial sums annually on premium hosting, renewals for wholesale, SEO, and invoice plugins, plus technical maintenance. Webito includes these in one transparent subscription with 0% sales commission.
