I won’t comment on all features, but I will say take a look through the changelogs for WooCommerce, our blog, and our public GitHub repository to get an idea of the features we’ve added, what we’re currently developing, and the over-all direction we’re taking with WooCommerce.
A few of the features we’ve added to our dev version (1.5) include:
- Quick/bulk editing of products
- Improved digital downloads + permissions management (new panel/feature in 1.5)
- Purchase notes (notes sent to purchasers of products, useful for giving access to resources etc)
- Download links which expire after x days
Theres plenty of geeky stuff too which I won’t go into. I can’t comment on whether or not Jigo has these features in their dev version (it seems its now developed privately whereas our development is all done publicly on GitHub for all to see).
Plugin/theme wise, not including those sold on third party marketplaces such as themeforest WC has more than double the amount of themes, and triple the amount of plugins. This list grows weekly during our thursday drops.
WC has had great feedback from some well known WP people and blogs – Alex King, WPCandy, Brian K to list a few.
While I’m sure that the two projects will diverge even further over time – I know that WC has already benefitted from a massive code overhaul and has a (soon to be expanding) team dedicated to improving it further 🙂
