# Mercemur vs WooCommerce

WooCommerce gives you ownership and capability, but you pay for it in operations. Mercemur is fully managed: no WordPress install, no hosting overhead, and integrations maintained as part of the platform.

## The trade every merchant is asked to make

Most platforms make merchants choose between three things they all need: ownership, simplicity, and capability. You can have any two, never all three.

WooCommerce: ownership and capability, no simplicity. You own everything because you operate everything: the WordPress install, the database, the plugin updates, the security patches, the hosting, the backups. The capability ceiling is high but the operational floor is heavy.

We wanted ownership, simplicity, and capability. We could not find it. So we built it.

## Mercemur vs WooCommerce, common questions

What makes Mercemur different from WooCommerce?

No WordPress to maintain and no hosting overhead. Integrations are maintained as part of the platform. It is fully managed, and the data and customizations are yours.

Can I migrate from WooCommerce?

Yes. Export your data from WooCommerce and bring catalog, customers, orders, and content in through the admin API. You keep your data and drop the WordPress hosting overhead.

Is Mercemur secure?

Yes. Tenant isolation at the storage layer. Encryption at rest for sensitive data. Signed and SSRF-hardened webhooks. Audit logs on every plan. Security is a baseline feature, not an Enterprise upcharge.

Do you take a cut of my sales?

No. Mercemur takes no transaction fee. Stripe, Razorpay, and Adyen settle through your own provider accounts; Dodo acts as merchant of record and remits according to its own terms. We never touch your funds, hold escrow, or take a revenue cut.
