## Notes

WooCommerce adds an online store to WordPress. Products, carts, checkout and orders are kept in the WordPress database and shown through the active theme, so the store runs inside a WordPress installation and does not work on its own. Store pages come from PHP templates in classic themes and from HTML block templates in block themes. Cart and checkout are also exposed through public REST endpoints and a Store API for customer-facing code. The plugin is installed from the WordPress admin screen and is published by WooCommerce, Inc., which describes itself as an Automattic production.

## Worth knowing

There is no paid edition of the core plugin. Commercial extensions are sold on the WooCommerce marketplace. The GraphQL endpoint exists only through an experimental plugin, so the documented developer interfaces are the REST API and the Store API.
