Trends That Are Coming Up!

WooCommerce Evolving with the Trends to Empower Ecommerce Store Owners in 2022

Woocommerce is the strength of the ecosystem as a whole – its flexibility, sense of ownership, and community draw people towards WooCommerce from other ecommerce platforms. More so because of the free migration that Cloudways offers to its customers.

Our guests expect WooCommerce to become even more focused on new beginners, i.e. new store owners on the platform, and improve their experience with the product in 2022. There has been an increasing trend of acquisitions – WooCommerce has acquired many tools to make a store become more efficient and effective, also from a marketing point of view.

There was also a discussion on how WooCommerce focuses on improving the onboarding of new store owners.   There are now many large store owners that are also using WooCommerce because of its open-source nature. It is also expected that WooCommerce will delve into AI-assisted upselling because AI prompts and layout with machine learning will certainly boost conversions and drive sales in 2022.

Helping Customers Make Intelligent Choices with Live Commerce

Our guests also discussed this topic in detail. From influencer hiring to help customers see how the product looks in real life, to using augmented reality to make cold customers develop a feel for the product, everything will be one step ahead in 2022.

They also talked about the growing need for hyper personalization to make better sales and aid revenue growth by increasing the lifetime value of customers. They also taught our online community the do’s and don’ts of personalization.

How WooCommerce is Preparing for the Upcoming Trends That Will Affect Shopping Experience

WooCommerce has an extension called Cart Magician Pro that lets you do AR inside your WooCommerce store, while Threekit, this 3D and AR company, has integration with WooCommerce.  There are a lot of things coming up in 2022 that you need to look out for to capture more leads.
