From themes to carts
By pivoting from commercial themes to E-Commerce, Woo quickly became the fastest-growing E-Commerce platform on the internet. After passing seven million downloads and hosting the first-ever WooConf in San Francisco for 320 attendees, there was an appetite to go even further.
We wanted to join forces with someone who shared our values, culture, and work ethic – a partner who could also help us grow our team and market share.
Joining Automattic, and looking ahead to the future
WooThemes was acquired by Automattic, the company best-known for WordPress.com and Jetpack, in mid-2015. Rebranded as WooCommerce and bolstered by a passionate community of partners, developers, and business leaders, we’ve continued our efforts to develop and democratise commerce to this day. Entrepreneurs around the world use WooCommerce to launch new businesses every day.
