Best free plugins for Woocommerce
WooCommerce itself is a free plugin for WordPress based websites. Thanks to this plugin, we can add an online store to the existing site and start selling products online.
WooCommerce is an extremely convenient solution especially for those who already have a WordPress based website because launching an e-commerce store, in this case, requires very little effort. However, we also recommend it to people who don’t have a WordPress website yet and need to build it to be able to use WooCommerce. That’s because this platform is one of the simplest and most effective solutions available on the market.
At the same time, the range of customization options of the WooCommerce store is very wide, mainly due to a large number of plugins and extensions. Many of them are paid, but some are completely free (or are available also in a free plan) and yet, still very effective. Today we recommend a few which we believe are the best.
