  Hi as shown in the subject. I would like to understand more on the difference. And what makes eCommerce plan special other that the things that shown in the website. Are there any special features that e-commerce plan has but not Business.

  Hi there,

  Can you please share the URL of your site?

  If your site is on WordPress.com, you can view the features of all the available plans by visiting the below link:

  You can also compare the features and pricing of all the plans here:

  Hope this will clarify your queries.

  Thanks!

  Hi there,

  The Business plan will help you power your business website with:

  All the features of the Premium plan
  The ability to use Google Analytics
  200 GB storage
  Unlimited VideoPress hosting
  The ability to use third party services, such as custom plugins, themes, and code.
  SEO tools
  Live chat support seven days a week.
  Two free Quick Start sessions with Happiness Engineers to learn how to get started with your site.
  SFTP and MySQL database access

  however, the eCommerce plan you can sell products, services, or collect payments online.

  You can read about both the plans here:

  hi,
  I was wondering this too.
  Great that ppl are posting links to WordPress site, but it doesn’t really answer the question.
  What’s the difference between taking a Business plan and installing Woo (other associated plugins) and doing it all yourself vs taking the eCommerce plan (which is nearly double the price).

  Because from what I can see there isn’t other than in eCommerce plan WP have done all the leg work.

  Am I missing something?

  Hi there,

  The eCommerce plan has the exact same features as Business, but it also comes with the WooCommerce plugin, the Storefront theme, and a number of free and premium add-ons for WooCommerce and Storefront pre-installed.

  So with the eCommerce plan we do a big part of setting up an online store for you, so you can just start creating products – on Business you can use exactly the same plugins, but you’d still need to install everything manually. And you get a number of features that would usually cost extra, at a cheaper price than it would cost you if you bought those add-ons directly from WooCommerce.com.
