Introduction
Choosing a WordPress plugin to supercharge your WooCommerce store can often seem like searching for a needle in a haystack. With myriad options on the table, zeroing in on the best can quickly become a day-long task.
To expedite your quest, we’ve cherry-picked an array of outstanding WooCommerce plugins, with a nod towards those integrated with Elementor Pro. At Snug Site, we prioritize a blend of ecommerce efficiency, peak performance, and budget-friendly solutions. Harnessing the prowess of the Elementor Page Builder often lets us forgo the need for multiple plugins, sticking to the golden rule – “minimal plugins spell maximum performance.”
The ensuing list houses the crème de la crème of WooCommerce plugins as per Snug Site’s standards, each singled out for its top-notch quality and unparalleled features. While plugins designed for similar functions might differ, our collection offers an impeccable starting point. If you’re left wondering about the absence of a specific WooCommerce booster, it’s possibly undergoing our meticulous evaluation.
Note: The ‘Paid’ version is spotlighted only if it trumps its ‘Free’ counterpart or originates from a different developer.

IMPORTANT NOTE!
There are two notable plugins: Booster For WooCommerce and Merchant for WooCommerce that each add extra features and functionality into WooCommerce. Each one has Free and Paid versions, and each is a great modular system that has too many features to showcase here. Before seeking any “WooCommerce Addons” see if it’s available in These plugins first – as it’s likely that it may even have more than a few Modules included that you are looking for.
Accordion Menu
Free: Iks Menu – WordPress Category Accordion Menu & FAQs
Really good! Also does Taxonomies etc. so great for WooCommerce Product Category Sidebar.
Abandoned Cart Recovery
Free: Recover Abandoned Carts for WooCommerce by ShopMagic
Not as great as some Paid options out there, but Shop magic is offering a lot for free here.
Paid: YITH WooCommerce Recover Abandoned Cart
It’s hard to split the many Paid options, but this solution is a little bit more accessible, not requiring accounts on third-party sites with APIS etc.
Ajax Search

Australia Post Shipping
Free: Were looking for a free plugin that has everything you’ll need, but so far they all want you to upgrade to a Pro version to get Custom Boxes and other things you’ll likely need.

Bulk Product Discounts:

Just going to try and save you some time here. We tested every free Bulk Discount Plugin we could find, and all of the free ones were limited in terms of conditional rules, to the point of being unusable for most use cases and here I will name and shame them:

Stripe as a Payment Gateway, and this Stripe Plugin (not the official one) is the best solution for you WooCommerce site, no contest.

Product Quantity Selector Number
Paid: WPC Product Quantity for WooCommerce
These are quite a niche plugin, but when you need it, it’s great! Choose a min and max for each product, but also provide a drop-down quantity selector, plus and minus buttons, with optional increments. Good stuff.
