WooCommerce is a blank slate for the stores that use it, allowing them to customize and adjust their site as they see fit. Part of making WooCommerce work for you is in the design.

Whilst the basic site is great and equipped with a lot of basic functionality, adding the right plugins, particularly those best suited to your store, will elevate your experience. 

With so many options available, it can be hard to find the best plugins for your store. 

In the spirit of making it things easier, here are some of the best WooCommerce plugins out there for marketing, customer experience, and payment solutions.

 

Best WooCommerce marketing plugins

 

OptinMonster

OptinMonster

Turn clicks into subscribers with OptinMonster, a plugin for WooCommerce (and many other platforms) designed to grow and monetize your website traffic. 

Whether you’d like to grow your email list or increase sales by decreasing cart abandonment, OptinMonster will help you do just that. There are a few plans to choose from starting at $14 a month.

 

Constant Contact

Constant Contact

For email marketing campaigns, Constant Contact comes highly recommended. 

You can use it to send targeted campaigns, recover abandoned carts and follow up with customers post-purchase. 

It also lets you segment customers based on their purchase frequency and history, making your email automation a lot easier. After all, you don’t want to send the same email out to everyone!

 

ReferralCandy

ReferralCandy

There’s a reason why almost every store has a referral system set up: referrals are a great way to make new customers! 

Studies show that positive testimonials encourage potential shoppers to purchase, and referrals happen along the same lines: when you trust someone, you’re more likely to buy based on their recommendations.

Take advantage of that with ReferralCandy, a plugin that lets you create a great, effective referral program. 

You can use it however you like, so whether you choose to reward customers with cashback or gifts when they successfully refer, or even to track referral engagement and new sale success, ReferralCandy can help.

 

Pricing Deals for WooCommerce

Pricing Deals for WooCommerce

Everyone loves a good sale. But, it isn’t always easy to mark products down in your store.

Take advantage of how much we all love a sale with Pricing Deals for WooCommerce, a plugin that helps you run sales, deals, and discounts store-wide with ease.

Best WooCommerce plugins for customer experience

 

WooCommerce Image Zoom

WooCommerce Image Zoom

Accessibility is important in all stores, be they in real life and online. You want everyone to be able to see your stuff and make a purchase.

To level up your store’s accessibility, give your shoppers the ability to take a closer look at your product images, without crashing your website with overly large images.

WooCommerce Image Zoom lets you do so. With 4 types of zoom, a customizable lens, and window size, your shoppers will be happy you’ve thought about their needs.

 

YITH WooCommerce Ajax Product Filter

YITH WooCommerce Ajax Product Filter

We’ve all used websites that are badly designed. 

We’re looking for an item that we know exists somewhere on the website, but we can’t seem to find it through search. More often than not, we leave the website without buying. 

YITH WooCommerce Ajax Product Filter helps you put an end to that problem. With it, you can help your customers easily find what they’re looking for, by helping them rate, filter, and sort your products.

 

LiveChat

LiveChat

Help your customers with whatever they may need with LiveChat, a plugin that allows you to chat with customers with ease. 

Not only does it allow your customers to reach out to you from a variety of platforms, including desktop and mobile, but it also gives you the opportunity to survey their experience afterward.

Keeping your existing and potential customers happy is the key to eCommerce success.

 

WooCommerce Currency Switcher

WooCommerce Currency Switcher

Increase your site’s accessibility by giving shoppers the opportunity to change the currency for the products they are considering. 

The Currency Switcher plugin allows visitors to not only switch currencies but also pay in their selected currency. 

It’s a win-win. They get your amazing goods and you get their cold hard cash.

 

The essential WooCommerce plugins

 

WPForms

WPForms

Staying in contact with your customers is essential to every store, no matter what it sells. 

WPForms helps keep you connected with your customers with their drag and drop WordPress form builder. 

Craft your ideal survey, contact, or payment form with them. If you aren’t sure what to include in a form, don’t worry—they’ve got over 100 templates that will help you get started.

 

WooCommerce Multilingual

WooCommerce Multilingual

The incredible thing about eCommerce is that it can connect us with people from all over the world. They can shop your store and find exactly what they want, as long as they can read it in their own language.

Help your global customers easily navigate your website with WooCommerce Multilingual, a plugin that helps you translate your pages into your customer’s preferred languages.

 

Stripe for WooCommerce

Stripe for WooCommerce

A store is not complete without some way of taking payment for the goods you are selling. You want something easy to manage for you and intuitive for your customers.

Accept payments directly with Stripe, a plugin that helps you accept payments online, without redirecting your customers to an externally hosted checkout page.

 

WooCommerce Checkout Manager

WooCommerce Checkout Manager

With WooCommerce Checkout Manager, you can customize your store’s check-out experience, so that it’ll be better suited to your customer and product needs. 

If you’d like to rename, extend, or hide certain fields in your Billing, Shipping, and additional checkout sections, the Checkout Manager plugin will be very useful.

It’s an all-important part of their experience, so make it simple for your customers.

 

Invest in professional help

While it’s great to personalize your store yourself, adding a variety of different plugins may cause a few technical problems. Not everyone is a tech whiz.

To avoid any technical snafus, it’s worth investing in a developer.

 That way you’ll have someone that’ll make sure your WooCommerce store is up to date, that your plugins won’t conflict with each other, and that everything will be running smoothly.

So, now is the time to create your perfect store with all the right plugins in place. Your customers will be so excited to see it!
