Why? You'll kick yourself later when you dont have the features you need and you'll be spending more time developing software than running your business.
WordPress is half the 'net
Sure. But I mean that isn't unique to wordpress or woocommerce. I mean there are other CMS and e-commerce solutions. And this one isn't even closer aligned to my requirements than any of the other big platforms. Or did is miss something and woccomerce has more feature baked into its free software core than all the other platforms?
I'll have a closer look at it, but I'm currently still evaluating some of the other recommendations. I've kind of disregarded a solution like that at first, because in the past I've used CMSs for everything. But having a broad and general CMS with many features and then customizing it with several modules / add-on and customizations also gets complex and hard to maintain over time. Nowadays I kind of prefer solutions that are tailored to a use case instead of extending a CMS and I've replaced my wordpress installs with static sites. But I'm not set on it. If WooCommerce turns out to be good and usable without additional paid extensions, I might as well use that.
