WordPress SaaS is a new and upcoming trend to help startups save costs by using complete solutions and integrating them together to build their own products.
The motto “There is nothing new under the Sun” is valid for WordPress’s 60,000 free plugins. In this WordPress SaaS tutorial, I will show you how I have built a complete SaaS clone for Wix.com using WordPress, WooCommerce, WPCS & Kubernetes. The demo can be used to sell subscriptions for customers to build their own websites, add custom domains and SSO.
