#353 WP-Tonic Show With Special Guest Adam Preiser of WPCrafter and the Joint Co-Founder of CartFlows

And the worst part is, if you are using the world's most widely used eCommerce platform, WooCommerce, you have zero control over any of this.

Sure you can hire an expensive coder to make you an unmanageable / inflexible solution that is prone to breaking, but for the majority of us, spending tens of thousands of dollars is just not an option.
