With WooCommerce dispensary web design, you may develop your online dispensary website using H32B’s dispensary theme and suite of WooCommerce plugins.
In this article, we’ll review WordPress, WooCommerce, web hosting, WooCommerce web design and custom WordPress plugin development for dispensaries using WooCommerce.
WordPress
WordPress is a content management system which can be used to rapidly develop a website with an administrative dashboard.
WordPress is an open-source PHP/MySQL web application which has thousands of themes and plugins to extend its functionality and provide security, notifications and advanced user management. WordPress can be expanded into an e-commerce website with the WooCommerce plugin.
WooCommerce
The WooCommerce plugin for WordPress provides extensive e-commerce features in a WordPress-focused shopping cart right out-of-the-box.
Medical marijuana dispensaries may use the WooCommerce plugin to list data-rich products, populate shipping and delivery areas, create promotional coupons and manage payment gateways for deliveries and/or in-dispensary pick up.
WordPress Dispensary Website
With self-hosted WordPress website, you have complete control over your dispensary website features, functionality and integrations with third-party services.

Using third-party hosted dispensary software for your medical marijuana dispensary is effectively renting your platform. Similar to renting a home, you are restricted in what you may do and your tenancy is based on the discretion of the property owner. To be fair, basic maintenance for the existing platform may be provided as a built-in benefit for the third-party dispensary hosted solution subscription fee(s).
With a self-hosted WordPress/WooCommerce dispensary website, you have complete control to modify/access/download your website files and database(s). With a catalog of over 56,000 free plugins to extend an open-source content management system’s already impressive and SEO-friendly features to establish your brand and domain.
