Introduction


Built for WordPress: WooCommerce is built to integrate seamlessly with WordPress, making it the obvious e-commerce choice for existing WordPress users and connecting you to the fast-growing WordPress ecosystem.
Sell anything, anywhere: From real products and digital downloads to subscriptions, content and even your time, you'll be able to set up a WooCommerce store to sell worldwide (or by country, as you wish).
Mobile friendly: WooCommerce is designed to ensure your store and products look as good on a desktop computer as they do on your customer's mobile phones. You can even turn your existing WooCommerce store into a mobile app with no custom coding by using a few third party tools/services.
Scalability: WooCommerce can scale with you as you grow your business. From selling one product to thousands, and from your first order to your millionth, WooCommerce will be able to scale and ride the wave with you.
The BBA Plugin for WooCommerce allows the Store owner to seamlessly integrate and retrieve and send information to the BBA System
