You Have Been Challenged

Beach Ball In Pool

WordCamp Jacksonville can only happen because of the generosity of our sponsors. Those that can afford to, give back to the community by sponsoring WordCamps (in both small and large amounts), keeping the costs lower for those that cannot.

As the date draws near, we have created a STRETCH GOAL for our Microsponsors. If we can reach 50 Microsponsorships by June 20th, every Microsponsor will receive a Collectible Name Badge (TBA).

Take the challenge and give a little extra support to your WordPress community. A Microsponsorship is $75, just $35 more than a General Admission ticket. If you have already purchased a ticket, check your email for the special coupon code to switch from General Admission to Beach Ball Sponsor.

If you have not yet purchased your ticket, just go to the ticket page.

Remember: T-shirts are only guaranteed for those registering by June 14th.

So, what exactly is WooCommerce?

WooCommerce is a WordPress-based eCommerce solution used by millions of stores and hundreds of agencies. WooCommerce is fully customizable and allows you to build a store tailored to specific business needs and objectives. Sell anything, anywhere, with no restrictions. And because it’s developed and supported by a distributed team across the globe, it’s accessible, flexible, and constantly improving.

WooCommerce lets you sell physical and digital products, offer subscriptions and memberships, and accept payments for services, reservations, and tickets. It integrates seamlessly with major payment gateways like PayPal and Stripe. There is an official marketplace of WooCommerce extensions plus hosting options for new, growing, and enterprise-level businesses.

How much does it cost to use WooCommerce?

WooCommerce core is free to download, install, and use — and because it’s based on WordPress’s structure and values, you maintain complete ownership of all your data, forever.
