Here is a list of 12 new and free WooCommerce plugins to boost your online shop and sales in 2019.
1. Offers for WooCommerce
Who doesn’t like a good bargain with a salesman to gain a discount, fun or simply a feeling of satisfaction, right? eBay and Amazon have been offering this feature for years because it drives additional sales.
Offers for WooCommerce provides similar functionality and allows you to:
- Start receiving offers from customers who are interested in buying, respond with counter offers or decline them.
- Receive and send automated email notifications about new offers, counteroffers, etc.
This is an excellent solution for shops that specialize in selling fine art, collectible items, used items, and bulk orders since you can allow your potential customers to make an offer and get a discount on those orders.
2. WooCommerce Live Checkout Field Capture – Save Abandoned Carts
Abandoned carts, just in the United Kingdom alone, yearly result in about 18 billion pounds of lost sales (according to a Barclaycard survey). It’s a rich and fruitful garden just waiting for you to start harvesting. This plugin is an excellent way to open the gates to this garden.
The WooCommerce Live Checkout Field Capture – Save Abandoned Carts plugin is capturing abandoned carts as soon as the user enters their phone number or email address at the Checkout without even submitting the form. Those users who are signed in do not even have to do that – their carts are captured from the moment the first product is added to their carts. What I love about this plugin is the:
- Ability to display a popup when users try to leave your shop (Exit Intent) that contains an email field to capture and later recover additional Abandoned Carts.
- Simplicity and ease of use – no setup required, just install, activate and start sending out abandoned cart reminders.
- Clean code that is added just where and when necessary without affecting your store’s speed.
The Save Abandoned Carts Pro plugin will allow you to integrate with MailChimp and use it to send automated Abandoned Cart recovery emails.
If you are currently not tracking and recovering your Abandoned carts, then you should definitely reconsider your sales strategy because this is a field where you can increase your sales big time.
3. Customer Reviews for WooCommerce
According to research by BrightLocal, 86% of consumers read reviews for local businesses and 91% of 18-34-year-old consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations.
Customer reviews are essential when it comes to showing off and selling online products. WooCommerce offers customer reviews by default, but it lacks many features that the Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin provides:
- The ability to display a review histogram (one that Amazon also uses for their reviews).
- Automated review reminder to those who have purchased a product.
- Offering discounts for leaving a review to increase engagement.
- Enabling image attachments to reviews which is an amazing feature since images tell so much more than words and you can later use those to showcase real customers appreciating your products.
I have used this plugin and it has got both great support and features that will increase your sales.
4. Currency Switcher for WooCommerce
There have been quite a few times when I come across…
