WooCommerce Plugin & Extensions for WordPress Ecommerce Sites
WooCommerce is a product of Automattic, the creators of WordPress. It’s listed as the first specialty site plugin because ecommerce is the most common WordPress upgrade AND because other specialty upgrade plugins might use WooCommerce for product listings and shopping cart functionality. So WooCommerce might be used to create a traditional retail store online for selling tangible items, or it can be used in combination with an Events Calendar for selling tickets, or for selling memberships or digital downloads. There are multiple possibilities.
This is the first use of the word “extension” on our resources section. Think of an extension as a plugin for a plugin. Just like a WordPress plugin extends the funcitonality of WordPress, an Extension extends the basic functionality of the main plugin, though the Extension is installed the same way as any Plugin. Payment processing resources have their own section.
This is not meant to be a comprehensive list for WooCommerce. We are really just highlighting some of the important ones. There’s a lot that can be done, and when building an Ecommerce site for clients Mirex Marketing will help determine the full scope of your project and make sure every feature you need can be included before we start the project.

Some of the links to paid resources on this page might offer us a commission at no additional cost to you, if you click on the link on this page to get them. In some cases you might even get a discount by using our links. These are tools that we’d recommend even without the option to receive a commission. Paid or free, they were selected because either we’ve tried them or they have an outstanding reputation within the digital marketing community for being effective and well-developed. The only exception to that is when we provide links to other lists which we don’t control, but they may provide additional, useful resources.
