They just vanish. No purchase, no goodbye, nothing.

It happens to all of us that run online stores.

If you’re wondering what’s going wrong between “add to cart” and “purchase complete”, you’re not alone.

But the solution isn’t one magic plugin (or maybe it is).

It helps to understand which plugins solve which problems and how they work together to create the seamless experience your customers crave.

The Components of a High Converting eCommerce Cart

If you start observing successful eCommerce stores, you’ll notice they share certain cart characteristics.

Here’s a distillation of the most important components:

  • Instant visual feedback – When customers add items, they need immediate confirmation without page reloads or delays. That split second of uncertainty while pages load is enough to break the buying “flow”.
  • Visible progress – Customers should be able to see their cart contents, item counts, and running totals at all times. When progress is visible, completion feels inevitable rather than optional.
  • Effortless cart management – Adjusting quantities, removing items, or applying coupons should be fluid and effortless to not distract the customer.
  • Smart revenue optimization – The best carts don’t just hold items, they actively increase order values through well-timed product recommendations and incentives like free shipping thresholds.
  • Recovery systems76% of customers abandon their cart on average. High-converting stores have systems in place to bring back interested buyers who left mid-process.
  • Mobile-first experience – With most traffic coming from mobile devices, cart functionality needs to work flawlessly on smaller screens without compromising features.

The WordPress shopping cart plugins we’ll walk you though, each handle different pieces of this conversion puzzle.

Some focus on one specific element, while others provide comprehensive solutions that address multiple components simultaneously.

All you need to do is figure out what problems or limitations your store currently has, and put the right plugins in place to give your customers the smoothest experience.

1. Modern Cart: The Focused Solution

Best for: Stores wanting immediate cart improvements without overwhelming complexity.

Modern Cart is a new premium WordPress shopping cart plugin from the CartFlows team.

These are the same developers behind some of the most successful conversion tools (like CartFlows, Cart Abandonment Recovery, and now Modern Cart).

Fortunately, in our experience, Modern Cart exceeded all expectations.

When your customers add items, instead of redirecting them to a separate cart page, a sleek floating cart slides into view.

Modern Cart: The Focused Solution

Customers can:

  • See what items they’ve added
  • Adjust quantities
  • Apply coupons
  • Track their progress toward free shipping

You can also add smart product recommendations in the sidebar cart, further increasing the chances of conversion and increasing average order value.

To make the shopping experience more compelling, Modern Cart lets you show a persistent cart value in the menu bar.

This reminds customers there are products in the cart if they haven’t checked out yet.

ModernCart lets you show a persistent cart value in the menu bar

Modern Cart has all the features you’d need to help customers stay in a shopping mindset instead of switching to checkout mode.

And the best part is, you can try without committing. Not in the traditional sense where you sign up, install the plugin and play around.

Just go to the Modern Cart homepage and hit the Try Modern Cart button.

Within a couple seconds, CartFlows will spin up a complete website with demo products, some demo data, and with Modern Cart installed.

You can test out all the features in this sandboxed environment before you even consider signing up.

Pros

  • Free sandboxed environments to try the plugin in a live environment before you commit
  • Complete floating cart system with instant loading
  • Dynamic free shipping progress bars and coupon management
  • Built-in cross-sells and upsell recommendations
  • Full customization of labels, colors, and styling options

Verdict: If you want a cart solution that’s reliable, straightforward, and effective without overwhelming features Modern Cart is what you need.

2. CartFlows: The Complete Funnel Solution

Best for: Stores ready to replace their checkout experience with an experience designed to convert

CartFlows takes a different approach than the other plugins on this list.

Instead of just improving your cart, it replaces your entire checkout process with conversion-optimized sales funnels.

You get landing pages, checkout pages, thank you pages, upsell pages, and downsell pages all working together.

The plugin includes order bumps that let you offer related products right on the checkout page, plus unlimited upsells after purchase.

If you’re serious about maximizing revenue from every customer, CartFlows gives you the complete system to do it.

Pros:

  • Complete sales funnel system, not just cart improvements
  • Order bumps can increase purchase values immediately
  • Unlimited upsells and downsells after checkout
  • Works with any page builder you’re already using

If you need even more advanced features, CartFlows Pro offers A/B testing, analytics, conversion optimization funnel templates and more at $299/year.

3. Ajax Add to Cart

Best for: Stores that need to just let customers add to cart without the page refresh.

Ajax Add to Cart

Every time you add an item and the page reloads, there’s that momentary disorientation.

If that’s the only problem you have with WooCommerce, this plugin eliminates that experience completely.

Products are added to cart instantly. A slideout cart from the right gives your buyers a visual confirmation that the product has been added to their cart.

Customers stay exactly where they are, maintaining their shopping momentum.

Pros:

  • Eliminates jarring page reloads when adding items
  • Works with variable products and product variations
  • Universal theme compatibility
  • Completely free with no premium pressure

Cons:

  • Only handles add-to-cart functionality
  • Limited cart management features
  • Limited customization options or styling controls
  • No upsell, cross-sell, or revenue optimization features

Pricing: Completely free

Verdict: If all you need is the ability to let users add to cart without the WooCommerce refresh, this plugin solves your problem.

4. WooCommerce Menu Cart

Best for: Store owners who only want customers to see their cart progress in the menu bar.

Jeroen Sormani’s Menu Cart solves a single problem – cart visibility.

When customers can see what they’ve added or how much they’re spending, they’re more likely to continue with their purchase to get that feeling of finishing something.

With this plugin, you get a cart icon to your menu showing item counts and totals. Customers can hover over it to see their cart contents without going anywhere.

It’s a simple plugin that adds a simple but effective solution.

Pros

  • Always-visible cart status in navigation
  • Flyout preview shows cart contents on hover
  • Real-time updates when items are added
  • Works with most navigation menu systems

Cons

  • No cart management capabilities
  • Limited to menu-based navigation only
  • Basic functionality with minimal customization

Pricing: The base plugin is free. The pro version costs $29.

Verdict: Not flashy, but essential. With 200,000+ installations, it’s become standard for a reason. Visibility creates commitment.

5. WooCommerce Cart Abandonment Recovery

Best for: If your only problem is losing customers who showed genuine buying intent, install this one plugin.

WooCommerce Cart Abandonment Recovery

Sometimes people genuinely need to leave and come back later. Life happens.

But stores that don’t follow up with customers who showed genuine buying intent, lose those customers.

WooCommerce Cart Abandonment Recovery by CartFlows operates in the background, automatically keeping track of customers that left midway through checkout.

The plugin then auto-activates the email sequences you’ve set to bring customers back without any manual work.

Pros:

  • Automated email sequences for cart abandonment
  • GDPR compliant with privacy features
  • Professional email templates included
  • Completely free with no premium pressure

Cons:

  • Email-only recovery (no SMS or other channels)
  • No real-time cart intervention features

Pricing: Completely free.

Verdict: This plugin is useful even if you have excellent conversions. It’s a lightweight addon to your eCommerce setup and any recovered cart is more profit for you.

6. FunnelKit Cart

Best for: Stores that need a fully functional WooCommerce shopping cart experience with more features.

If Modern Cart doesn’t fit your needs, FunnelKit Cart is a similar (but heavier) alternative.

It offers a sliding cart system with additional revenue features built in.

Similar to Modern Cart, when customers add items, FunnelKit Cart shows a sidebar cart that includes milestone-based rewards, cross-sell suggestions, and progress tracking toward goals like free shipping.

One of the things we like about this plugin is the gamification elements, where customers can unlock discounts or gifts by reaching spending thresholds.

Pros:

  • Milestone-based reward system that encourages customers to buy more
  • Customers can add recommended products without leaving the cart
  • Clean, professional-looking sliding cart
  • Works with popular payment methods

Cons:

  • Costs $99/year for advanced features
  • Takes time to set up rewards and milestones properly
  • You need to understand customer psychology to use it effectively

Pricing: From $99 per year.

Verdict: The plugin delivers advanced cart features for stores ready to invest time and money in conversion optimization.

7. YITH WooCommerce Checkout Manager

Best for: Stores requiring custom checkout field collection and management

YITH WooCommerce Checkout Manager

YITH WooCommerce Checkout Manager specifically handles checkout field customization.

You can add custom fields like text boxes, dropdowns, checkboxes, and date pickers to collect additional customer information during checkout.

The drag and drop interface lets you rearrange fields, and conditional logic can show or hide fields based on what customers select or what’s in their cart.

If you need to gather specific data beyond standard WooCommerce checkout fields, this covers that need.

Pros:

  • Add as many custom fields as you want
  • Easy drag and drop to rearrange fields
  • Fields can appear or hide based on what customers do
  • Customize how fields look and what error messages say

Cons:

  • Only handles checkout fields
  • Costs $69.99/year for all features

Pricing: From $69.99 per year.

Verdict: Does exactly what it promises for checkout field customization. If that’s your specific need, it handles it well, but won’t improve your overall cart experience.

The Success You’ve Been Working Toward

Three weeks after installing some of these plugins, your analytics will reflect something different.

Cart abandonment dropping. Average order values climbing. Customers actually completing purchases instead of vanishing.

Six months from now, you’ll likely be that store owner other people ask for advice. The one who figured out why customers were abandoning carts and actually fixed it.

And you’ll know better that customers were always ready to buy. They just needed you to make it easy.

That’s all you did. Made it easy for them.

Still figuring out what tool is best for you? Why not use one that has all the features (and more) packaged in a single plugin. Try Modern Cart completely risk-free for 14 days!

Break Free! Best Gumroad Alternatives For Unstoppable Growth https://cartflows.com/blog/gumroad-alternatives/ https://cartflows.com/blog/gumroad-alternatives/#respond Tue, 25 Feb 2025 17:57:37 +0000 https://cartflows.com/?p=56714 Selling digital products? Then you need a platform that helps you maximize profits, not one that holds you back.

Gumroad is popular, but let’s be real – it’s far from perfect. High transaction fees, limited checkout customization, and missing sales-boosting features can hurt your earnings.

The good news? You have better options.

Whether you want lower fees, more flexibility, or advanced selling tools, there’s a Gumroad alternative that fits your needs.

In this guide, we’ll explore the best Gumroad alternatives, from WooCommerce + CartFlows to SureCart, Payhip, and Sellfy, so you can sell smarter and keep more of your money.

Let’s take a closer look at why you might switch.

Why Do You Need a Gumroad Alternative?

Gumroad makes selling easy, but if you’re serious about growing your business, its limitations start adding up.

Here’s why many creators make the switch:

  • High fees eat into profits: Gumroad takes 10% per sale – before transaction fees. That’s a big cut, especially if you’re selling consistently.
  • Limited customization hurts branding: Your store looks like everyone else’s. You can’t fully customize checkout, product pages, or branding.
  • Fewer payment options = fewer sales: Gumroad doesn’t support Stripe in many countries and lacks Apple Pay and Google Pay. More payment options mean more conversions.
  • AI-based support can be frustrating: Delayed responses, missing payments, and no real human support when you need it most.
  • Weak analytics make scaling hard: No detailed reporting means guesswork when trying to optimize sales and grow.

If these sound familiar, it’s time to find a better alternative.

Key Considerations for a Gumroad Alternative

If you’re serious about selling smarter and keeping more of your earnings, here’s what to look for:

  • Pricing – Keep more of what you earn: Some platforms take a big chunk of every sale. Go for one with lower or no transaction fees.
  • Payment options – Let customers pay their way: Not everyone uses PayPal. More payment methods mean more sales and happy customers.
  • Customization – Make your store truly yours: Your brand should stand out, not blend in. Pick a platform that lets you control the look and feel.
  • Sales and marketing – Sell more without extra work: Upsells, order bumps, and cart recovery can turn one-time buyers into repeat customers.
  • Product flexibility – Sell your way: Whether it’s digital products, memberships, or subscriptions, make sure your platform fits your business model.
  • Analytics – Know what’s working (and what’s not): Clear insights help you track sales, understand customers, and make smarter decisions.
  • Customer support – Real help when you need it: AI bots are frustrating. You need human support that actually solves problems. You can also use a Residential Proxy to securely manage multiple accounts or access geo-restricted platforms when selling digital products.

Now that you know what to look for, let’s dive into the best options available!

We’ve picked the best Gumroad alternatives in two categories: WordPress and SaaS.

Check them out and see which one works best for you.

Note:

Remember, platform fees and payment gateway fees aren’t the same. A selling platform might not take a cut, but payment gateways still charge a fee to process your transactions.

Gumroad Alternatives: WordPress

WordPress is a versatile platform that gives you complete control over selling your products online.

These are the best options as far as we’re concerned.

1- SureCart

surecart homepage

If you want a fast, flexible, and no-hassle way to sell digital products, memberships, subscriptions, or physical goods, SureCart is a fantastic Gumroad alternative.

2- WooCommerce

woocommerce homepage

WooCommerce is a powerful, open-source eCommerce solution built for WordPress.

If you want full control over your store’s design, pricing, and checkout, this is it.

Sell digital downloads, subscriptions, memberships, or physical products – without platform restrictions or hidden fees.

And the best part? You call the shots. Want a custom checkout? More payment options? Easy shipping rules? There’s a plugin for that.

With WooCommerce, you get the freedom to build your store your way.

Unlike platforms that take a cut of every sale, WooCommerce lets you keep 100% of your earnings – no surprise fees, no limits.

That said, the default WooCommerce checkout is pretty basic. It gets the job done but doesn’t do much to boost conversions.

That’s where CartFlows comes in.

Pair CartFlows with WooCommerce, and suddenly, your checkout goes from “just enough” to a full-blown sales machine.

Think one-click upsells, order bumps, and abandoned cart recovery – all designed to boost sales without extra hassle.

It effortlessly replaces the standard WooCommerce checkout with one that’s designed to sell.

Let’s discuss the features that make WooCommerce and CartFlows one of the best Gumroad alternatives.

Optimized checkout for higher conversions

WooCommerce’s default checkout has way too many unnecessary fields, which isn’t great for conversion.

CartFlows helps you simplify checkout pages and boost conversions. But when you combine it with Modern Cart, you create a checkout experience that feels unstoppable. Stick around, we’ll show you how Modern Cart takes it even further.

One-click upsells and order bumps

A/B split testing to maximize sales

Not sure if a one-step or two-step checkout works better? CartFlows lets you test multiple versions of your checkout, upsell, and order bump pages so you can fine-tune your funnel for maximum sales.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, an eCommerce business owner, or a WordPress enthusiast, there are tools out there that give you more bang for your buck.

Let’s dive in!

1. CartFlows – The Superior Alternative to ClickFunnels

ClickFunnels Alternatives CartFlows

Looking for a funnel builder that gives you more flexibility and value than ClickFunnels?

CartFlows is the ultimate solution for anyone who loves WordPress.

While ClickFunnels is an all-in-one platform, it can feel restrictive—especially with its high costs and lack of customization.

CartFlows flips the script by working seamlessly with WordPress and WooCommerce, offering unmatched flexibility, affordability, and features.

Even better? CartFlows offers a Free Plan! You can get started without any upfront investment and still access essential funnel-building features.

Let’s break down why CartFlows is a better choice:

Key Features That Make CartFlows Stand Out

WordPress Integration

  • CartFlows is built to work directly with WordPress, the world’s most popular website platform.
  • This means you can use your favorite tools, themes, and plugins without restrictions.
  • ClickFunnels, on the other hand, locks you into its system, limiting your ability to grow and customize.

One-Click Upsells

  • Boost your revenue by offering additional products after the initial purchase.
  • With CartFlows, adding upsells is effortless and integrates smoothly with WooCommerce.
  • ClickFunnels offers upsells too, but it requires a more expensive plan and is less flexible for eCommerce stores.

Order Bumps

  • Add small, complementary offers directly on the checkout page to increase average order value.
  • CartFlows makes it simple to add order bumps without extra coding or complications.

A/B Split Testing

High-Converting Templates

  • CartFlows offers a library of professionally designed templates for every stage of your funnel—landing pages, checkout pages, and thank-you pages.
  • Customize these templates easily with page builders like Elementor or Divi to match your brand.
  • ClickFunnels templates are useful but limited in customization without extra coding.
CartFlows High-Converting Templates

Modern Checkout Design

  • Say goodbye to outdated checkout pages!
  • CartFlows provides sleek, high-converting checkout layouts designed to reduce cart abandonment.

Even better? 

When you combine CartFlows with Modern Cart, you unlock a frictionless, supercharged cart experience.

Modern Cart replaces the default WooCommerce cart with a faster, smarter, and mobile-optimized cart that keeps your customers moving smoothly to checkout.

No refreshing pages. No frustrating edits. Just a seamless flow that reduces abandonment and boosts sales.

Dynamic Offers

  • Create personalized offers based on user behavior or purchase history.
  • This helps you increase conversions by showing the right offers at the right time.

Lead Generation Tools

Why CartFlows Stands Out

  • Affordability: CartFlows starts at just $69/year, while ClickFunnels’ pricing begins at $97/month—saving you over $1,000 annually!

Wondering which free WooCommerce theme to install? New to WordPress or eCommerce and want to know a little more about it?

If you’re creating an online store, installing WooCommerce is the logical choice. It’s the most popular eCommerce platform around and can easily convert your WordPress website into a full-fledged online store.

The features, flexibility, and functionality that WooCommerce offers are on par with the best store platforms around, if not even better.

And the best bit is that WooCommerce is totally free!

When it comes to the overall look and feel of your store, you’ll need a WooCommerce theme. One that’s easy to install, compatible, customizable, responsive, and above all, makes your store look great.

There are hundreds of WooCommerce themes on the market. While there are a good number of premium themes available, there’s an equally good number of free WooCommerce themes too.

This article will cover the best free WooCommerce themes you can use right now.

Are all free themes the same? Or is there something that you need to watch out for?

We’ve got it all covered here!

What Is WooCommerce?

With well over 5 million installations, WooCommerce is the most popular open-source eCommerce plugin. You can use it to convert any WordPress site into an online store.

The flexibility that WooCommerce offers is second to none, and allows you to customize your store any way you like.

With an intuitive dashboard, you get to track your inventory, fulfill orders, and track your store performance with in-depth analytics and reporting.

Additionally, you can market your store and boost sales by listing products on Google Shopping, Facebook, or even email them to customers with Mailchimp integration.

Want to enhance your store’s functionality? Choose from hundreds of free and paid extensions available on the official WooCommerce marketplace.

Did you know that as of mid-December 2021, WooCommerce has been downloaded well over 300,000 times in a single day?

Long story short, WooCommerce is the best eCommerce solution for starting an online store!

What Do You Need to Build a WooCommerce WordPress Store?

Building a WooCommerce store is pretty straightforward. It’s as simple as 1-2-3!

Step 1. Domain and Hosting

The first step is to get a domain name and a hosting account.

There are a lot of options out there in the market. One that we recommend is SiteGround.

WordPress managed hosting by SiteGround

SiteGround offers a host of features, such as unmetered traffic, free SSL, daily backups, free CDN, and a lot more.

And what’s most impressive about SiteGround is their world-class customer support. It’s always reassuring to have a team backing you up just in case you need them.

Step 2. Setting Up WordPress

Another impressive feature of SiteGround is how easy it is to install WordPress.

Using SiteGround’s auto-installer, in a matter of a few clicks, you’ll have your WordPress installation up and running in no time.

Once you’ve successfully completed the registration process, you’ll be directed to your SiteGround dashboard.

While you could select the WordPress + WooCommerce option, we’ll install WooCommerce in the next step.

For now, select WordPress and complete the straightforward registration process. Just make sure you keep note of the details you enter while installing. You’ll need them later to log into your WordPress admin dashboard.

Step 3. Install and Set Up WooCommerce

So, the next step is to install WooCommerce.

Once the WordPress installation is complete, you’ll find yourself on the dashboard.

Use the left menu to navigate to Plugins > Add New.

Search for WooCommerce in the search field provided at the top right.

Install the WooCommerce WordPress plugin

Install and activate WooCommerce.

And that’s it. You’ve successfully installed WooCommerce!

You’ll find new links, such as WooCommerce, Products, Marketing, and Analytics, added to your left sidebar.

What to Look For in a WooCommerce Theme?

There are tons of free WooCommerce themes around. One look at the WordPress themes repository, and you’ll find well over 9000 of them.

WordPress themes page

You also have some available on the WooCommerce themes store.

So, are all themes the same? Is there something to look out for?

Here’s a checklist that should help you find the best free WooCommerce themes.

Recent Updates

Regular updates ensure your theme is continually developed to remain compatible with current versions of WordPress and WooCommerce.

It’s also a sign that the developer still values the theme and you as a user.

Theme updates can include bug fixes, compatibility fixes, security updates, feature improvements and a whole lot more.

You can easily see when the theme was last updated on its page in the WordPress repository.

Astra WordPress theme details

Mobile Responsive

In 2021, 54.8% of website traffic came from mobile devices. With eCommerce sales projected to reach $3.5 trillion, ensuring that your store is responsive to mobile devices has never been more critical!

Considering Google gives more importance to mobile-friendly sites that load fast, you’ll surely want to have a mobile responsive theme installed.

While all websites built on WordPress are mobile-friendly by default, it doesn’t hurt to ensure your WooCommerce theme is fully responsive.

Customization Options

The last thing you want is to land up with a theme that’s difficult to customize or requires you to learn HTML or CSS.

When considering customization, clarity is key, just as in writing an argumentative essay. If you ever find yourself stuck with organizing your thoughts or building a persuasive argument, an argumentative essay writing service can provide expert help to structure your ideas logically and effectively.

Even with the best theme in the world, there will be aspects of it you’ll want to change. Whether that’s the colors, fonts, where the logo is positioned or something else.

How easy a theme is to customize is a measure of how easy it will be to live with. Look for page builder compatibility or WordPress Gutenberg compatibility to ensure it’s easy to customize.

SEO and Performance Optimization

Speed equals sales! At least that’s what we believe here at Brainstorm Force. It’s the basis around which our Astra theme and all our Starter Templates were created. According to UppercutSEO, a leading SEO Services Agency, Ensuring your website loads fast is not optional, it’s essential. Aside from enhancing the user experience, it’s an important Google ranking factor.

Ensuring your website loads fast is not optional, it’s essential. Aside from enhancing the user experience, it’s an important Google ranking factor.

Look for a theme that loads fast and uses the least resources. Ideally, you’ll want it to score highly on page speed scores too.

For instance, Astra is a lightweight theme that loads in under 0.5 seconds and uses less than 50KB of resources.

Free WooCommerce Themes vs. Premium Themes

Now that you know what to look for in a WooCommerce theme, you’ll now be facing an important question.

Should you go with a free or premium theme? Is there much of a difference between the two?

We get it. You’d like to be sure before going ahead and installing a WooCommerce theme.

Just because a theme is free, it doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t be a great fit. It all depends on your specific requirements.

You probably may not require the premium theme’s additional features. The features that a free theme comes with may just be what you’ve been looking for.

Here are some key differences between free WooCommerce themes and premium alternatives.

No Cost

When you install a free theme, you don’t pay anything. It’s completely free with no strings attached. While free themes would typically have fewer features than the premium ones, it’s probably all that you’ll need while starting or experimenting with WooCommerce.

If you later feel the need for additional features, you could always consider upgrading to a premium version of your free theme.

More Effort to Customize

All themes offer the flexibility to customize them to suit your needs. While some free themes provide a lot of customization, it’s fair to say that premium themes offer way more customization possibilities.

Some will be compatible with leading page builders while others will require some HTML and CSS knowledge to customize them.

When you are starting out, your focus will probably be on having a robust online store up and running as quickly as possible. Most free themes with even limited customization options should work just fine.

No Support

Premium themes offer premium support. Free themes offer you little to no support.

There may be a user forum or discussion somewhere, but it’s unusual to receive personal support with a free theme.

Having a support team to assist you when you need it the most is reassuring. So, if you require premium support, you’ll want a premium WooCommerce theme.

Not Always the Latest Design

Theme developers keep the best reserved for their premium versions. Be it updates or the latest in designs. Partnering with expert Shopify developers is an option too. After all, they want paying customers to have the very best experience.

Want more advanced features and design elements? Upgrade your theme to the paid version!

Long story short, a free theme should work just fine when you’re just starting out. As you grow in size and popularity, you’ll probably want additional features to enhance user experience and increase conversions.

The good news is that you needn’t undergo an entire overhaul of your website design.

Your free theme will likely have a paid upgrade option to include all those extra features without making you start over.

How to Install a WooCommerce Theme

Now that you have a fair idea of the free WooCommerce themes available, we’re guessing you are impatient to install one on your WordPress website.

Let’s install a free WooCommerce theme!

Step 1: Install a WooCommerce Theme

Before we start, we’re assuming you have WordPress and WooCommerce installed.

With your WordPress and WooCommerce installation in place, head over to Appearance > Themes > Add New.

You could install any free WooCommerce theme mentioned above. However, we’d like to go ahead with the Astra theme.

It’s used by over 1.6 million users worldwide and checks all the boxes as far as an ideal WooCommerce theme is concerned.

Search for Astra in the search field if it doesn’t feature among the popular themes.

Install the Astra theme

Install and activate your theme.

Step 2: Import a Starter Template

Want a professional-looking online store ready in a minute? That’s exactly what our next step involves.

Head over to Appearance > Astra Options and click on Install Importer Plugin.

Install Importer Plugin for Astra Theme

Once you’ve installed the importer plugin, you’ll need to select a page builder of your preference. You’ll then be directed to a library of professionally designed website templates.

Select a Starter Template

Select any template for the Elementor page builder based on the type of store you want to create. While many of the templates are free, some will require the Pro version of Astra.

Import a template of your choice, and your store is ready to be launched!

Step 4: WooCommerce Settings

Like we mentioned, installing a WooCommerce theme is pretty straightforward.

From adding your products to fulfilling the orders, WooCommerce makes the entire process of handling an online store relatively easy.

However, before you launch your store and open it up for sales, there are a few settings you’ll have to complete.

From your WordPress dashboard, navigate to WooCommerce > Settings.

WooCommerce General Settings

You’ll find yourself on the General tab. This section includes all the basic store details, such as store address, country, preferred currency, and more.

Similarly, you’ll notice tabs for products, tax, shipping, and payments.

You must complete all the tabs before launching your store.

You will likely have filled in many of these if you followed the setup wizard. If not, now is the time to go through them.

For instance, you can accept payments on your online store by integrating a payment gateway under the Payments tab. Want to add taxes? Head over to the Tax tab.

Check out beginner’s guide on how to set up WooCommerce to go about each of the WooCommerce settings.

Once you’ve completed the tabs, you are ready to launch your store!

Building an online store seems more accessible than ever, with plenty of software as a service (SaaS) products like Shopify, Wix or BigCommerce.

If you want full control over your store or don’t want to be tied to a particular service, WordPress is the answer.

WordPress eCommerce plugins are designed to get your store up and running with very little cost or effort.

This article consists of the best WordPress eCommerce plugins you can use to set up your online store.

Each offers a range of functions and can be genuinely useful in eCommerce.

Before that, let’s take a quick view of eCommerce and why you should build an eCommerce website.

What is eCommerce?

eCommerce is the process of buying and selling goods and services on the internet.

The history of eCommerce began when the first-ever online sale was made on 11th August 1994 by a man who sold a CD by the band Sting to his friend through his website NetMarket (an American retail platform).

This was the first example of purchasing a product online.

There are four major types of eCommerce models:

  • Business to Consumer (B2C): A company sells goods or services to an individual consumer. Example: Alibaba, ThomasNet
  • Business to Business (B2B): A company sells goods or services to another business. Example: Costco, General Electric and IndiaMart
  • Consumer to Consumer (C2C): A consumer sells a good or service to another consumer. Example: eBay, Amazon Marketplace, Etsy
  • Consumer to Business (C2B): Consumers sell their product or service to a business or an organization. Example: Google Adsense, Commission Junction, and Amazon Marketplace

Why build an eCommerce website?

The internet influences every aspect of our lives. We use it for entertainment, work, research, and for pretty much everything.

The generation who are well known to the world of the internet uses it to shop. Around 43% of shoppers use the internet and social networks to research products before purchasing them.

By 2026, the eCommerce revenue is estimated to be worth $1540 billion in the USA alone.

Building an online store allows you to control every aspect of customer experience, from branding to shipping to customer self-service. You get to learn about the process and make an informed choice.

Moreover, exploring headless ecommerce platforms can offer enhanced flexibility and customization, elevating your ability to deliver a seamless and tailored customer journey.

It’s also relatively easy to set one up and doesn’t cost much either, lowering the barrier to entry significantly.

What do you need to build an eCommerce website?

In order to build a reliable and secure eCommerce website, you must build upon your WordPress site.

These are the must have elements apart from plugins to build an online store:

Powerful WordPress web host

A web host is the place where your website is accessible from the internet. The host enables your website to be visible to everyone on the web.

You can pick any cheap hosting plan and get online without a second thought. But Google and other search engines prioritize the site’s page speed as a significant ranking factor.

Visitors also want to experience fast and smooth performance regarding page load time.

If you want to show your products and rank on a search engine, you need to invest in reputable web hosting, such as Hostinger, that delivers the speed you and your customers deserve.

Domain name

The domain name reflects your brand and your company and is your store’s online name. It’s the ‘www.’ name you type into a browser and choosing a domain name is important.

Domain names are an important part of setting up a store and requires a lot of thought and planning. This guide goes into domain names in a lot more detail.

An SSL certificate

eCommerce stores process private information such as addresses and zip codes and online financial transactions. Therefore the security of such a website is a top priority.

It’s also a legal requirement in many countries.

Having an SSL certificate keeps user data secure and verifies your website’s ownership. If your eCommerce website doesn’t have an SSL certificate, customers are more likely not to make a purchase.

Most payment gateways require SSL certificates in order to work on a website.

Inventory

So, what will your eCommerce website be selling? Is it a physical product, digital product or an online course?

You need items to sell on your website. You can sell any (legal) kind of goods but you’ll need a reliable supplier.

Efficient inventory management plays a crucial role in running a successful eCommerce business. WordPress, Shopify, or any other platform, considering a comprehensive inventory management guide or using apps like Prediko’s Inventory Management, can help streamline your operations, avoid stockouts, and improve customer satisfaction.

That’s outside the scope of this guide, but is definitely something you’ll need to consider.

Responsive eCommerce WordPress theme

What do you want your visitors to see when they click on the link to your website? How would you like your products to be displayed? What do you want your shopping cart icons to look like?

The layout of your website totally depends upon the theme you select.

Selecting a theme that is lightweight and fast provides a better user experience and smooth performance. Astra tops the list for the fastest and most responsive theme and is definitely worth considering.

You can also use a WordPress theme detector to help you decide what theme to use based on your competitors. And if you’re a college essay writer, platforms like EssayHub can serve as a useful model for building a content-rich, service-oriented site that converts well.

I have a separate article that includes the list of best WooCommerce themes to boost your website.

What are eCommerce plugins?

Your typical WordPress website is not built to process the functions of an eCommerce website. You’ll need eCommerce plugins to turn your regular website into an online store.

Partnering with a business WordPress development company can further enhance your eCommerce capabilities, ensuring that your online store is fully optimized and integrated with the best plugins for seamless performance and customer satisfaction.

eCommerce plugins include everything from WooCommerce to provide the framework, to CartFlows to minimize cart abandonment, SEO plugins to help visibility in search results to form plugins to enable customers to contact you and WordPress donation plugins for nonprofits or businesses that want to accept donations directly on their website.. Partnering with a Shopify SEO agency can further optimize your online store for search engines, ensuring that your products rank higher in search results and attract more organic traffic and potential customers.

Also, keep in mind that using these plugins can slow down your device. To avoid this, you should use special applications to optimize your computer. They will help not only clear the cache and speed up your device but also help with the fact that your computer is not updating or the sound does not work well.

How to select the best WordPress eCommerce plugins

You can find dozens of WordPress eCommerce plugins on the market that claim to help you easily build an online store.

While some WordPress eCommerce plugins can help with selling digital goods like photos, music, ebooks, and courses, others can be useful for selling physical products that require shipping.

So, how do you select a plugin for your eCommerce website?

I have listed a few things you need to evaluate while considering the use of the particular plugin on your website.

Price

You should definitely consider the pricing of WordPress eCommerce plugins.

While WooCommerce and many other plugins are free, there are lots of premium options that add features, for a price. Some charge annually and some monthly. A few have a one-off cost.

Check pricing carefully so you know what you’re getting into!

Customization

You install and activate a plugin on your website, but can you customize it? Can you change what it looks like on the page? Can you brand it to your favorite colors or add your own design?

Not all plugins will be visible on screen, so customization is less of an issue.

Those that are should ideally work with your existing branding or be customizable enough so they don’t stand out for the wrong reasons.

For example, the Astra theme’s online store Starter Template is fully customizable when integrated with WooCommerce.

Reviews and installations

We all know the power of effective marketing so I always recommend reading plugin reviews.

This way, you get to know what it is like to use the plugin from people like you, in similar situations.

We use reviews for everything, so it’s a good idea to use them here too.

The number of downloads and active installation is another factor to consider. A usable plugin rich in features is going to have far higher installation numbers than a less useful version.

Best WordPress eCommerce plugins compared

If you wish to make money from the 2.77 billion estimated buyers, one of these eCommerce plugins could help.
