Best WooCommerce Plugins in 2026

WooPayments is the payment gateway built by WooCommerce, the Automattic-owned company behind the WooCommerce plugin. It was first listed on WordPress.org on 8 April 2020 and reported more than 800,000 active installations in November 2026; version 11.3.0 was released on 11 November 2026.

The plugin accepts major credit and debit cards and lets merchants see payments, refunds, disputes, chargebacks and payouts in the WordPress dashboard rather than in a separate processor's portal. It also powers in-person sales through WooCommerce POS in the free WooCommerce mobile app, using Tap to Pay on iPhone or Android or a card reader. WooPayments has no setup or monthly fee and charges per transaction instead; in the United States the published rate for cards is 2.90% + US$0.30, with surcharges of 1.50% for international cards and 1.00% for currency conversion, and a US$15 dispute fee. Availability is limited to the countries listed in Woo's documentation, and support is provided through woocommerce.com tickets. Merchants outside supported countries need a separate gateway such as Stripe or PayPal.

WooCommerce PayPal Payments is the official PayPal integration for WooCommerce, published under the WooCommerce author account. It was first listed on WordPress.org on 15 October 2020 and had more than 800,000 active installations in November 2026.

The plugin offers PayPal buttons on product pages, in the cart and at checkout, PayPal Pay Later instalments, Venmo for US shoppers, standard and advanced card processing, and country-specific payment methods. It supports subscription payments, provides fraud detection and Seller Protection on eligible purchases, and is designed to meet PCI, PSD2, SCA and 3D Secure requirements. The plugin description cites PayPal-commissioned figures, such as shoppers being "nearly three times more likely to buy" when PayPal is offered; these are the vendor's own claims. The plugin itself is free; transaction fees are set by PayPal according to the merchant's PayPal account and country, so they are not published on the plugin page. It replaced older PayPal integrations for WooCommerce, and merchants using legacy PayPal Standard are prompted to upgrade.

Google for WooCommerce, published by WooCommerce and first listed on WordPress.org on 10 May 2021 under the slug "google-listings-and-ads", had more than 800,000 active installations in November 2026.

The extension synchronises a store's product feed with Google Merchant Center through an API connection, so that prices, promotions, inventory and other product details stay up to date in Google's free listings and Shopping ads. From the same dashboard merchants can launch Google Ads Performance Max campaigns, which use Google's automated bidding and placement across its network. The plugin page advertises a US$500 Google Ads credit for merchants who spend their first US$500 within 60 days, subject to Google's terms. The extension is free; advertising spend is paid to Google. The integration is published by WooCommerce itself, and version 3.10.0 was released on 20 October 2026. Merchants who need detailed feed rules for several channels at once often use dedicated feed plugins, since this extension is designed for Google only.

WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway is described on its plugin page as "the official plugin created by Stripe and WooCommerce". First listed on 25 May 2016, it had more than 700,000 active installations in November 2026.

It accepts cards in more than 135 currencies and adds wallets such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, Alipay and WeChat Pay, buy-now-pay-later methods including Klarna, Affirm and Afterpay/Clearpay, and local methods such as ACH Direct Debit, Bacs, BECS, BLIK, Boleto, Cash App Pay, iDEAL, OXXO, Przelewy24 and SEPA Direct Debit. Stripe's Adaptive Pricing lets customers pay in their local currency across more than 150 countries. The plugin is free; Stripe's standard US pricing is 2.9% + 30 cents per successful domestic card transaction, with no setup or monthly fees, and a US$15 fee for each dispute received. Compared with WooPayments, the Stripe plugin gives merchants a direct Stripe account and dashboard, which suits stores already using Stripe for other products.

WooCommerce Tax is a free WooCommerce extension that calculates sales tax automatically at checkout. It was first listed on WordPress.org on 28 January 2017 as WooCommerce Shipping & Tax (slug "woocommerce-services") and had more than 500,000 active installations in November 2026.

Shipping-label features have since moved to a separate plugin, WooCommerce Shipping, which was first listed on 30 July 2024; the original plugin is now named "WooCommerce Tax (formerly WooCommerce Shipping & Tax)". Once enabled in tax settings, the extension calculates how much sales tax to collect by city, country or state based on the store address. It relies on external services: requests to WordPress.com endpoints, proxied through api.woocommerce.com, fetch the tax calculations, and usage statistics are sent once the user accepts WordPress.com's terms. The extension calculates tax but does not file returns or manage nexus registration, so larger multi-state sellers typically pair or replace it with a dedicated sales-tax compliance service.

YITH WooCommerce Wishlist is developed by YITH (listed as YITHEMES), a Spanish developer of WooCommerce extensions. It is the oldest plugin in this list, first listed on WordPress.org on 29 May 2013, and had more than 400,000 active installations in November 2026.

The free version lets shoppers save products to a wishlist page, add items from the shop page as well as product pages, keep variation details such as size or colour, and share wishlists, while store owners can choose which columns appear in the wishlist table. The premium version, sold on YITH's website, adds multiple named wishlists per user, a view of popular wishlisted products, promotional emails to users who saved a specific product, an "Ask for an estimate" button that turns a wishlist into a quote request, price-change tracking and PDF downloads. The plugin page states that the plugin once had "more than 900,000 active installations"; the current WordPress.org count is lower, at more than 400,000.

Checkout Field Editor (Checkout Manager) for WooCommerce is developed by ThemeHigh. It was first listed on WordPress.org on 23 October 2015 and had more than 400,000 active installations in November 2026.

The plugin lets store owners add, edit, hide, delete, relabel and reorder WooCommerce's default checkout fields, validate them and attach custom CSS classes, with developer hooks for further changes. It supports both the classic checkout and WooCommerce's block-based checkout; for block checkout the free version supports text, select, radio, checkbox and six other field types, with email, phone and URL validation. ThemeHigh sells a Pro version, priced at US$49 per year for one site, US$99 per year for up to five sites and US$199 per year for up to 25 sites, billed annually until cancelled. Because checkout data feeds orders, emails and payment gateways, changes to required fields can affect other plugins, so testing on a staging site is advisable before changes go live.

Meta for WooCommerce, distributed under the WordPress.org slug "facebook-for-woocommerce", is the official integration between WooCommerce and Meta's platforms, published under the Facebook author account. It was first listed on 22 February 2019 and had more than 400,000 active installations in November 2026.

The plugin installs the Meta (Facebook) pixel, uploads the store's product catalog to Meta so it can be used in carousel and dynamic ads, and tracks advertising results across devices. Dynamic ads let a merchant show shoppers on Facebook and Instagram the products they viewed on the store. The plugin also connects a WhatsApp Business account to send customers order updates, although the plugin page notes that part of this functionality is planned for a future release. The plugin is free; ad spend is paid to Meta. Catalog synchronisation errors and pixel configuration are frequent support topics, and the plugin's development is hosted publicly on GitHub, where issues are tracked.

PDF Invoices & Packing Slips for WooCommerce is developed by WP Overnight, a WooCommerce extension studio. First listed on WordPress.org on 17 January 2014, it had more than 300,000 active installations in November 2026.

The plugin automatically attaches a PDF or XML invoice to the WooCommerce emails the merchant chooses, and lets staff download or print invoices and packing slips from the order screen, in bulk if needed. Customers can download invoices from their account page, and invoice numbers can be sequential. It supports several structured e-invoice formats used in Europe, including UBL 2.1, Peppol BIS 3.0, CII D16B, Factur-X 1.0 and ZUGFeRD 1.0 and 2.0, which matters as more countries mandate electronic invoicing. Templates are HTML and CSS and can be fully customised, and the interface is translated into nearly 20 languages. WP Overnight sells a paid Plus Bundle with extra templates and features, priced in euros at €99 for one site, €199 for three sites and €399 for 25 sites.

Variation Swatches for WooCommerce is developed by Emran Ahmed and sold in a Pro edition through GetWooPlugins. It was first listed on WordPress.org on 20 December 2017 and had more than 300,000 active installations in November 2026.

The plugin replaces WooCommerce's default variation dropdowns with colour, image and button or label swatches; on activation dropdowns convert automatically to button swatches, and each attribute can then be set to colour, image or button type. The plugin page states that it has been downloaded more than 9.4 million times. The Pro version is sold as yearly licences at US$49 for one site, US$149 for five sites and US$299 for unlimited sites, or as lifetime licences at US$149 for one site and US$449 for five, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. A separate plugin with the same name by Woosuite also exists on WordPress.org with about 40,000 installs, so merchants should check the author when installing.

Mailchimp for WooCommerce is the official integration between WooCommerce and Mailchimp, published by Mailchimp. It was first listed on 6 October 2016 and had more than 200,000 active installations in November 2026. The plugin page describes Mailchimp as having 17 million customers.

The integration syncs customers and their purchase data to a Mailchimp audience and adds subscribers who opt in at account creation. Merchants can then send targeted campaigns, set up automations for abandoned carts, browse abandonment, win-back and post-purchase follow-up (which the page says are now available on free Mailchimp accounts), show product recommendations, segment by purchase history, and run Facebook, Instagram and Google remarketing ads. WooCommerce discount codes can be inserted into emails through a promo-code content block, and the plugin can embed a pop-up sign-up form. The plugin is free, but Mailchimp's own plans and contact limits apply, so costs depend on the Mailchimp subscription.

CartFlows is a sales-funnel and checkout plugin developed by Brainstorm Force, which also develops the Astra theme. It was first listed on WordPress.org on 30 November 2018 and had more than 200,000 active installations in November 2026.

The plugin replaces the default WooCommerce checkout with a distraction-free checkout page and builds multi-step funnels with landing, checkout, upsell, downsell and thank-you steps. It supports one-click upsells, dynamic order bumps, one-page checkout, A/B testing and analytics. CartFlows positions itself as an alternative to software-as-a-service funnel builders, quoting their price range of US$97–US$297 per month on its plugin page. Several key features, including one-click upsells and A/B testing, sit in the paid Pro edition. CartFlows Starter costs US$99 for the first year (renewing at US$149), Pro US$199 for the first year (renewing at US$299) or US$699 one-time, and the Suite US$299 for the first year (renewing at US$449) or US$999 one-time.
