Although there are a number of membership specific plugins around, WooCommerce brings with it a number of benefits. First and foremost, WooCommerce is a trusted and well supported plugin, which is easy to setup and use. It&#8217;s currently estimated to be powering approximately 28% of all eCommerce sites. Other benefits include the number of available extensions, and in particular, payment gateways, which are ideally suited for membership sites. On top of that, if you want to sell products to your members, you automatically have the ability to do so, nice and easily.\u00a0Anthony will\u00a0outline the benefits of using WooCommerce, over dedicated membership plugins. He&#8217;ll also discuss which plugins (along with WooCommerce) would be required and how to go about setting them up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">During Anthony&#8217;s presentation he will\u00a0covering the following areas:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Benefits of using WooCommerce<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Benefits of WooCommerce over other popular membership plugins<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Plugins required (WooCommerce plus others)<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">How to set up and configure the various plugins<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Anthony runs a boutique\u00a0design &amp; development studio in the South-East suburbs of Melbourne. <a href=\"http:\/\/maddisondesigns.com\">Maddison Designs<\/a> works with a wide range of clients, from micro businesses through to large corporates, specialising in custom WordPress sites and WooCommerce stores.<\/p>\n<p>Anthony has been developing for the web since the late 90\u2019s.
