WooCommerce alternative: PORTWARE
WooCommerce is an e-commerce plugin for WordPress. If you are looking for a system that runs every process in one place, speaks Turkish and adapts to your company, instead of or alongside WooCommerce, consider PORTWARE.
For companies looking to replace or complement WooCommerce, PORTWARE is a web-based business management system that runs every process, including catalogue, orders, dealer portal and stock, in one place. It is built on the world's most widely used open-source business-management core, speaks Turkish and English, is ready for Turkish e-invoicing, is tailored to your company and keeps its database on your own server. You can move one process at a time.

For businesses searching for WooCommerce, integrating the online shop separately with stock, invoicing and shipping is a heavy load. In PORTWARE the website, shop, stock and accounting are one system: there is no integration to build, it is already there.
The dealer channel works on the same catalogue with its own prices; a basket becomes a request and a request becomes an order.
The first question a company using WooCommerce asks about PORTWARE is its data: customers, products, stock and open balances move with import templates, and processes are set up and tried in a demo account first.
You do not have to switch everything at once. Most companies start with one process (for example sales and quotations, or projects) and move the others into the same system later.

Frequently asked questions
Is the online shop in sync with stock?
Yes. The shop and the warehouse share one database; stock drops at the moment of sale.
Can we sell B2B to dealers?
Yes. Dealers create order requests on the portal at their own prices.
Can a physical store be connected?
Yes. The point of sale runs on the same products, stock and accounting.
What is PORTWARE's licence model — is there a per-user fee?
PORTWARE's core is the world's most widely used open-source (LGPL-3) business-management core; the modules PORTWARE writes are licensed LGPL-3. No closed-source per-user licence fee is required. The cost is in setup, tailoring, training and support services, quoted to your scope.
Where is our data kept, and whose server is it on?
The database runs wherever you want it: on your own server or on one PORTWARE manages. The schema is open and the whole dataset can be exported at any time. Backups are taken daily and kept on a separate server.
Does it integrate with the other programs we use?
Yes. PORTWARE exposes REST and XML-RPC APIs and talks to banks, e-invoice providers, e-commerce and shop-floor systems through them. For bulk data, Excel/CSV import and export is available on every screen.
How are training and support provided?
The system ships its own handbook, application guides and per-screen help. On top of that PORTWARE trains the team during go-live and provides upgrades and support afterwards.
