Sellit vs WooCommerce
Sellit vs WooCommerce in Georgia
The WooCommerce plugin is free. The real question isn't price — it's who does the work.
Updated: August 20, 2026
The real gap: who builds it and runs it
The WooCommerce plugin itself really is free — that's a fair fact and we won't hide it. But "free plugin" isn't the same as "ready store": you (or your developer) choose and pay for WordPress hosting, you're responsible for security and updates, and you assemble payment and delivery integrations yourself through separate paid extensions.
With Sellit, all of that is already assembled — under one price, in a Georgian interface. Hosting, security, and updates are Sellit's job; card payments land directly in your own Bank of Georgia or TBC account — Sellit never holds your money.

Made for Georgia
Built for how Georgia actually sells.
Georgian cards, Georgian couriers, Georgian language, prices in lari. Not a universal tool you have to bend to fit — a ready shop where getting paid just works.
When WooCommerce is the better choice
Honestly: if you already run WordPress and have a developer on your team, WooCommerce is a sensible extension — you get full code ownership, no monthly platform fee (just hosting), and an enormous plugin ecosystem. If you'd rather someone else assemble hosting, security, and payments for you and start selling to a Georgian bank account right away, Sellit is the faster, cheaper path.

What's good
- Hosting, security, and updates are Sellit's job — you set nothing up.
- Card payments land straight in your own bank account, built in, with no extra fee.
- One price, everything included — no separate fees for extensions.
- A fully Georgian interface and support.
Real limitations
- The plugin/extension ecosystem isn't yet as large as WordPress/WooCommerce's decade-plus scale.
- If you want full, unrestricted code control (your own server, your own developer), WooCommerce gives you more freedom.
- Focused on the Georgian market.
Frequently asked questions
Isn't WooCommerce "free", so cheaper overall?
The plugin itself is free — but hosting, domain, SSL, security monitoring, and every payment/courier extension are billed separately, typically $29–299/year each. With Sellit, all of that is one monthly price.
Can I switch from WooCommerce?
Yes — your product catalog can be uploaded via Excel, or AI can help build products from photos. Your own domain moves with you too.
Does Georgian bank card payment actually work on WooCommerce?
WooCommerce has no built-in payment system — you (or your developer) choose and configure a processor via a separate extension; the result depends on that choice and its ongoing maintenance. With Sellit, card payments via Bank of Georgia/TBC are built in and land straight in your own account.
