Open-source plugin for WordPress
Pesanle vs WooCommerce
WooCommerce is free and endlessly customisable, but little is included: you supply the hosting, domain, security, updates and every feature as a paid extension. Pesanle is a hosted platform where the storefront, till, stock, WhatsApp and books are maintained for you.
The difference
Where Pesanle pulls ahead
Maintained for you
Pesanle is a hosted app with updates, security and backups looked after; WooCommerce is a plugin you host, update and secure yourself — or pay an agency to.
A till and stock, not just a website
Pesanle includes a POS, multi-warehouse stock and a WhatsApp assistant; on WooCommerce each is a separate extension.
Books in the same place
Accounting ships with Pesanle; WooCommerce needs a plugin, and even then the stock and the books sit apart.
In their favour
Where WooCommerce is a good fit
Free and open source
The core is free with no revenue share, you own the code, and there are no product limits or platform fee.
Total control and flexibility
You can shape every part of the stack and pick your own host and gateway — powerful with a developer, and a real cost without one.

The short version
So which one?
WooCommerce is the most flexible and the cheapest on paper, if you have the time or a developer to run it. Pesanle is for the seller who would rather have the whole shop working on day one than assemble it from plugins and hosting.
