It is one of the options, yes. Generally, it's better for small stores than the large ones, from what I know.
It's not. Blog is the most popular type of WP site. Obviously, you'll need something else, like Magento. However, the most optimal option is to build a custom site
If by "WP" you mean WordPress, then the answer is yes, WordPress can be a good platform for e-commerce websites.
WordPress is a versatile and widely used content management system (CMS) that can be extended with a variety of e-commerce plugins and themes. WooCommerce is one of the most popular e-commerce plugins for WordPress, providing a robust set of features for setting up and managing online stores.
With Woo-commerce, you can easily add products, set up payment gateways, configure shipping options, and manage orders and customers. Woo-commerce also provides a range of customization options, including the ability to add extensions and plugins to enhance functionality.
However, as with any e-commerce platform, there are pros and cons to using WordPress for your online store. Some potential downsides include the need to manage updates and security patches for both WordPress and any plugins you use, as well as potential performance issues if your site experiences high traffic.
Overall, WordPress can be a good choice for e-commerce, particularly for smaller or medium-sized businesses that want a flexible and affordable platform. However, it's important to carefully evaluate your needs and consider factors such as scalability, security, and performance when choosing an e-commerce platform.

You have opinions about Wordpress from people making money selling wordpress and then you have the facts about wordpress and they are not the same...
2.) 70% of the WordPress websites currently online are hack-able.
3.) Just using WordPress makes you a target for the Largest malware/hacking group in the world.
And even keeping them updated isn’t enough, as most of the updates are caused because someone has already gotten hacked and in fact, many of the plugins used to protect WordPress have been used to hack it.
And each plugin makes the site load slower, and makes another way for the hacker to get in.
And the last thing you want is any custom code because then you have to hire a programmer to rewrite it 3, 4, or maybe 5 times per month. If you decide to longer keep the plugin up to date, go out of business, retire, or anything else your site becomes insecure and you may not even know about it for months, years, or until you are hacked.
About 75 Million Websites use Wordpress!
Most of them have no idea that it is the most hacked platform in the world.
And it has NOTHING to do with them being Popular.I’ve never heard of something being insecure just because it is popular.
1.) 3 out of 4 websites that get hacked are WordPress.2.) 70% of the WordPress websites currently online are hack-able.
3.) Just using WordPress makes you a target for the Largest malware/hacking group in the world.
WORDPRESS Can’t do ANYTHING Without Plugins.
If any plugins are not updated and patched 3, 4, or 5 times per month, as WordPress finds exploits in their code 3, 4, and 5 times a month, then you could get hacked, even if it is a plugin that is supposed to be protecting you.And even keeping them updated isn’t enough, as most of the updates are caused because someone has already gotten hacked and in fact, many of the plugins used to protect WordPress have been used to hack it.
Even when all the plugins were up to date.
The 5 minute install is good for nothing, not even SEO without plugins.And each plugin makes the site load slower, and makes another way for the hacker to get in.
