What do I need to do about Strong Customer Authentication?
WooCommerce
WooCommerce is an Open Source (GPL) eCommerce plugin for WordPress.
Note that the “W” and the “C” are both capitalized (like the W and the P in WordPress) are.
Why’s it good?
WooCommerce is scalable, has unlimited customizations and some very well supported extensions you won’t find on other eCommerce CMS‘s such as subscriptions. It’s also free to get started and the hosting, support and other costs are entirely up to you – there’s no contract.
When did WooCommerce launch?
The platform was officially launched on September 27, 2011, and in a short space of time has grown to be the most widely used eCommerce platform on the web.
Silicon Dales and WooCommerce
After a few years working with the plugin as “ordinary” developers, Silicon Dales became accredited WooWorkers in 2014, and, after WooCommerce was acquired by Automattic, joined the official WooExpert program as Silver experts, before moving up to Gold standard in 2016.
The tiered Gold, Silver, Bronze system was ended in late 2017, when Silicon Dales renewed accreditation into 2018 and beyond, continuing a good partnership and delivering excellence to WooCommerce store owners and managers.
