20 Best WooCommerce Plugins to Boost Sales in 2026

Your WooCommerce store is live, products are up, and still the orders come in slowly? Don’t worry, almost every store goes through this. The good news is that you don’t need a new platform. Most of the time, a few of the best WooCommerce plugins, placed in the right spots, fix exactly the leaks that cost you sales.

I started working with WordPress back in 2014, and several of my own eCommerce websites still run on WooCommerce. One thing holds for every store, though. Installing every “sales booster” you find only makes it slower and messier. So this list is short on hype and long on checking.

For this guide, I set up two brand new test stores on WooCommerce 11.2.1 and WordPress 7.1.3, installed the free version of all 20 plugins, and made sure each one activated without a single PHP error. The install counts and star ratings below come from each plugin’s WordPress.org page, as they stood on 26 October 2026.

The Footfall-to-Regulars Ladder

Think about a busy shop in your area. First people have to walk in, that’s footfall. Then they need to trust the shop. Then paying has to be quick, nobody likes a long queue at the billing counter. A good shopkeeper also adds one more thing to the basket. And the shops that do really well? Their one-time buyers become regulars.

Your online store climbs the same five steps. I call it the Footfall-to-Regulars Ladder, and I have grouped the 20 plugins by the step they help with. My suggestion: spot the weakest step in your own store and fix that first, instead of installing everything in one go.

Step 1: Footfall (Help Shoppers Find You)

1. Google for WooCommerce

Want your products to show up when someone searches on Google Shopping? This official plugin from the WooCommerce team is the simplest way I know. Connect it once, and your products go to Google Merchant Center with prices and stock kept in sync on their own, so there’s no second catalog to update by hand. Ads are optional; you can set those up from here too if you want.

One honest warning. Its WordPress.org rating is just 2.7 out of 5 right now, so do go through the recent reviews before you depend on it. On my test store it installed cleanly and appeared under Marketing → Google for WooCommerce. The plugin is free; ads cost money only if you choose to run them.

2. FiboSearch (Ajax Search for WooCommerce)

Here’s a simple test. Go to your store and search for a product by its SKU. With plain WooCommerce, you probably got nothing useful. FiboSearch fixes that with a live search bar that shows suggestions as people type, and it can search titles, descriptions and SKUs.

A shopper who knows what they want and can’t find it in five seconds simply leaves. So a better search box is one of the cheapest sales wins I know. After activation, the settings live under WooCommerce → FiboSearch. There is a free version and a Pro one with extra features. If you want to compare other options, see our list of search plugins for WordPress.

Step 2: Trust (Give People a Reason to Believe You)

3. Customer Reviews for WooCommerce

New shoppers trust other shoppers far more than your product description. The problem is that happy customers rarely leave a review on their own. This plugin sends them an automatic reminder email after the order, asking for one. It also adds a Q&A section to product pages, so people can ask questions before they buy.

Inside the dashboard you get a new Reviews menu, with Reminders and Q&A inside. The core plugin is free, and it offers an optional outside service to verify reviews. Want more choices? Our list of review plugins for WordPress has plenty.

4. NotificationX

You must have seen those small popups that say someone from another city just bought something. That’s social proof, and NotificationX is one of the most popular ways to add it. Recent WooCommerce sales, announcement banners, a floating bar for your Diwali or Black Friday offer, it handles all of these.

But go easy with it. A popup every few seconds feels pushy, and fake ones can hurt your brand badly. Show real orders only, keep it slow, and it works nicely. It has its own NotificationX menu with a setup wizard, and a Pro version is available.

Step 3: Easy Buying (Make the Billing Counter Fast)

5. Variation Swatches for WooCommerce

Selling T-shirts in six colors? By default WooCommerce shows those as a plain dropdown, which is boring and easy to miss. This plugin turns them into color, image and button swatches that people can tap. On a phone especially, it just feels like a real shop.

With 300,000+ active stores, this is one of the most installed plugins in the list. The settings sit under a GetWooPlugins menu, in Swatches Settings. The free version covers the basics, and a Pro version is available.

6. WPC Smart Quick View for WooCommerce

Every time a shopper opens a product page and comes back to the shop, you risk losing them on the way. A quick view popup lets them check the product details without leaving the shop page. For stores with big catalogs, it saves a lot of back and forth.

WPClever makes it, the same team behind two more plugins in this list, so all three share one WPClever menu. You can show it as a button or a link, and the free version is enough for most stores.

7. TI WooCommerce Wishlist

Very few people buy a costly item on their first visit. They look, they think, they compare. If your store has no wishlist, they simply forget you. TI WooCommerce Wishlist lets them save products for later and even share the list with family, which comes handy around birthdays and festivals.

I picked TI over other wishlist plugins because of its strong rating, 4.7 from 500+ reviews. After activation you get a TI Wishlist menu with a setup wizard, and the wishlist can sit inside the customer’s My Account page.

8. Checkout Field Editor (Checkout Manager) for WooCommerce

Ask for too much at checkout and people quit. Do you really need the company name and a second address line from every buyer? With this plugin you can hide fields you don’t need, rename labels, reorder them and add new ones, like a delivery note or a GST number.

Ratings don’t get much better than this: 4.9 from more than 1,000 reviews. After activation, look for WooCommerce → Checkout Form. A Pro version is available too.

9. Fluid Checkout for WooCommerce Lite

Is your checkout page one long, cluttered form? Fluid Checkout cleans it up. You can pick a multi-step or one-step layout made for phones, ask for shipping details before billing, tuck optional fields behind a small link, and keep the coupon box from pulling attention away.

Fluid Checkout, CartFlows and FunnelKit all change the checkout, so choose only one of them. All three did activate together on my test store, but I would never run two checkout plugins on a live store. The Lite version is free; a PRO version adds more.

10. WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway

The payment step is where a sale is won or lost. Stripe and WooCommerce built this one together. With it, buyers can pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Stripe’s Link, and in many countries also with buy now, pay later options like Klarna and Afterpay. Think about it: tapping a saved wallet is so much easier than typing a 16-digit card number on a phone.

You don’t pay for the plugin. Stripe takes its fee from each payment. Its WordPress.org rating is 3.1, so test your checkout properly in Stripe’s test mode before going live. For other gateways, see our list of payment plugins for WordPress.

Step 4: Make Every Basket a Bit Heavier

11. CartFlows

With most themes, the normal checkout page still shows your menu, sidebar and footer. That’s a lot of exits for someone who is about to pay! CartFlows cleans it up and gives you a simple checkout page. If you want, you can also link pages one after another into a funnel: a landing page first, then checkout, then a one-time offer, then the thank you page. The part I like most is the order bump. It’s a tiny tick box on the checkout itself, something like “add gift wrap”, and the buyer sees it when the wallet is already open.

After I activated it on my test store, a new CartFlows menu showed up, and inside it I found Funnels and Store Checkout. For a start, the free version is fine. But before you plan a big upsell campaign, do check which of those features sit behind Pro. And yes, same rule as before: only one checkout plugin.

12. FunnelKit Funnel Builder

FunnelKit, earlier called WooFunnels, is the main rival to CartFlows and has a perfect 5.0 rating from over 1,000 reviews. It gives you ready-made templates for checkout pages, opt-in pages and landing pages, and it is built around higher-converting checkouts and upsells.

Honestly, CartFlows and FunnelKit do a very similar job. Try both on a test copy of your store, keep the one whose editor you enjoy, and delete the other. FunnelKit adds its own FunnelKit menu, and a Pro version is available.

13. WPC Frequently Bought Together for WooCommerce

You have seen this on big marketplaces: “customers also bought” with a checkbox list and one Add to cart button. This plugin brings the same idea to your product pages. Here you pick the products that go together by hand, and you can even knock a little off the price when someone takes the whole set.

Does it work for every product? Not really. It shines when the pair is obvious, like a phone and its cover, or a mug and a pack of coffee. You’ll find its settings in the same WPClever menu as Quick View, and the free version covers the main features.

14. WPC Product Bundles for WooCommerce

Bundles are different from “bought together” suggestions. With a bundle you make one new product out of several, say a starter kit, a gift box or a combo pack, and give it its own price. Buyers save the effort of picking things one by one, and you sell three or four items where you would have sold one.

You can set default quantities and drag items into order. It also lives in the WPClever menu, and a premium version is available. If you sell gift sets during Diwali or Christmas, this one is worth a try.

15. Discount Rules for WooCommerce

Want “buy 3, save 10%” or a lower price for bulk orders? This is the plugin. Quantity discounts, tiered prices, percentage deals, offers on just one product, you can set all of that up here. My favourite bit is the bulk discount table it can show on the product page. Buyers see right there that buying more saves money, which is the whole point.

Nearly 1,400 people have rated it, and the average is 4.9. You will find it under WooCommerce → Discount Rules. Note that buy one get one (BOGO) deals are part of the PRO version here.

16. Advanced Coupons for WooCommerce

Need BOGO deals without paying? Advanced Coupons gives you buy one get one coupons, URL coupons that apply from a link, cart conditions, role restrictions and store credit, all in the free version. That makes it a nice partner to Discount Rules if you run lots of promotions.

You get a separate Coupons menu with a getting started screen, which also points to paid add-ons like gift cards and a loyalty program.

Step 5: Regulars (Bring Buyers Back)

17. Abandoned Cart Lite for WooCommerce

Think about your own shopping for a second. How many times did you add something to the cart, then the phone rang, and you just forgot? Same thing happens to your buyers. A gentle reminder email a few hours later often brings some of them back. Abandoned Cart Lite watches for these left carts, from guests and logged-in customers both. It sends the reminders for you (you can edit the text) and shows a report of the carts it got back.

You’ll find it at WooCommerce → Abandoned Carts. Lite costs nothing, and there’s a Pro version if you outgrow it. One request from my side: don’t spam. Two polite emails at the right time do more than five pushy ones.

18. MailPoet

Email is still the one channel you own. Facebook or Instagram can change their rules overnight, but your email list stays with you. With MailPoet you make newsletters, sign-up forms and automations from inside the WordPress dashboard itself, and the subscriber list is saved in your own WordPress database.

You can start on the free plan and move to a paid one later when your list gets big. After activation I got a full MailPoet menu with Emails, Automations and Forms. For more options, read our list of email plugins for WordPress.

19. Back In Stock Notifier for WooCommerce

An out-of-stock page is a sale you already lost, unless you capture that visitor. This plugin shows a small “email me when it’s back” form on out-of-stock products and emails every subscriber the moment you restock. The emails use WooCommerce’s own email system, so they look like the rest of your store emails.

In the dashboard, the Instock Notifier menu lists every subscriber. The core plugin is free, with paid add-ons if you need more.

20. WPLoyalty

And finally, give people a reason to come back again and again. Every supermarket near my home has a points card, and there’s a reason for that. WPLoyalty works the same way. Customers earn points when they buy, and later they turn those points into a coupon for their next order. Depending on the plan you pick, you can also give points for other things, say signing up, leaving a review, referring a friend, even on a birthday.

It’s the smallest plugin in this list at 3,000+ active installs, but it has a perfect 5.0 rating from 300+ reviews, and it comes from flycart, the same team behind Discount Rules. Look for the WPLoyalty menu after you activate it.

How I Picked These 20 Plugins

I started with about 30 popular WooCommerce plugins and checked each one’s WordPress.org page. My rules were simple. Updated in the last few months? Tested with WordPress 7.1.3? Has a free version? Fixes an actual sales problem? Four yeses, and it stayed. Where two plugins did the same job, I usually kept the better-rated one. CartFlows and FunnelKit are the exception, because store owners compare those two all the time.

Then came the hands-on part. I installed WooCommerce 11.2.1 and the free version of all 20 plugins on two fresh test stores with PHP 8.3 and debug logging switched on. Every plugin activated, the shop and the dashboard loaded fine, and the logs showed zero fatal errors and zero PHP warnings. That doesn’t guarantee they will behave on your store with your theme, so always test on a staging copy first.

A few big names didn’t make it. The official Meta, TikTok and Pinterest plugins all had ratings between 1.8 and 2.3 when I checked, so I left them out for now.

Your Questions About the Best WooCommerce Plugins

What are the best free WooCommerce plugins to increase sales?

If I had to start with just five, I would pick FiboSearch for search, Customer Reviews for WooCommerce for trust, Variation Swatches for easier choosing, Abandoned Cart Lite for lost carts and MailPoet for email. You won’t pay a rupee for any of them to get started.

Which plugin can recover abandoned carts in WooCommerce?

I would go with Abandoned Cart Lite for WooCommerce. The Lite version is free. It catches carts from guests as well as logged-in buyers, sends out the reminder emails for you and tells you how many carts came back.

How many plugins is too many for a WooCommerce store?

There’s no magic number. One badly coded plugin can slow a store more than ten good ones. What matters is that each plugin earns its place. If you can’t say which sale it helps with, remove it. A good caching plugin and decent hosting also make a big difference.

Do these plugins work with WooCommerce 11?

All 20 activated without errors on WooCommerce 11.2.1 with WordPress 7.1.3 and PHP 8.3 in my tests in October 2026. Plugins update often though, so check the “Tested up to” line on WordPress.org before you install.

Can I use CartFlows and FunnelKit together?

You can install both, but I wouldn’t run both on a live store. They both take over the checkout. Choose one, and that includes Fluid Checkout too.

Summing Up

So there you go, the 20 best WooCommerce plugins to boost sales in 2026, sorted by the step of the ladder they fix. My advice? Go slow.
