JustSell vs WooCommerce
JustSell and WooCommerce both power online stores, but take different approaches. WooCommerce is a flexible, self-hosted WordPress plugin you assemble and maintain yourself, while JustSell is a fully hosted platform combining B2C retail with native B2B wholesale, EPOS, rental and appointments, with 0% commission and no plugins to manage. JustSell suits multi-channel and trade businesses that want it built in; WooCommerce suits developer-led, WordPress-based builds.

Trade accounts, quick-order pads, customer-specific pricing and credit terms are built in.

Built-in channels
JustSell builds EPOS, rental and appointments into the platform, whereas WooCommerce adds each of these through separate plugins.
JustSell
In-store EPOS, rental/hire and bookings share one catalogue, stock and customer base.
WooCommerce
POS, rental and bookings each require their own plugins, which you install, pay for and keep updated.
Total cost of ownership
JustSell is one predictable monthly subscription, while WooCommerce is "free" software with costs spread across hosting, themes and multiple paid extensions.
JustSell
A predictable monthly subscription, 0% commission, with core channels included, so fewer add-ons to buy.
