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.

Bulk Product Discounts:
Free: Dynamic Pricing and Discount Rules
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:

We love it when a plugin just works. Aelia has made something great here. We love their attention to detail when it comes to Caching Support. No need to set up your own API access for Exchange and GEOIP, they’ve got you sorted there too :)

Order Blacklist
Free: Woo Manage Fraud Orders
This is a pretty basic plugin, it just prevents the same email, IP address from ordering after too many failed payment attempts. You can also blacklist specific names and emails.
Order Exporting
Prevent Spam Orders
Product Badges
Free: WOO Stickers by Webline (Currently under review for lack of updates).
Currently trialing: https://en-au.wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-product-labels-for-woocommerce/ as an alternative.
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.
