WooCommerce: What Are the Must-Use Plugins?

Ah, if only there were a “simple” WooCommerce project! We would all use the same plugins, copy and paste the same content and the world would be all the same 🙂

So, let’s be clear about this question. There is no must-use plugins list for WooCommerce, as each website is custom and therefore needs different functionalities.

Having said that, many WooCommerce developers use a few identical plugins on almost every project, and this post contains an answer to that.

Most Voted Must-Use Plugins

1. Yoast SEO (free)
2. Contact Form 7 (free)
3. WooCommerce Google Analytics Integration (free)
4. WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips (free)
5. Akismet Anti-Spam (free / donation)
6. WP Rocket (link to WooCommerce integration) ($39/yr)
7. Gravity Forms ($59/yr)
8. WP Smush Pro
9. iThemes security (free)
10. WP All Import + Woo Add-on ($139 one-time)
11. Imagify (free)
12. Wordfence Security (free)
13. Booster for WooCommerce (free)
14. Really Simple SSL (free)
15. WP Super Cache (free)
16. SendGrid (free)

Once again, make sure not to use them ALL – this are just the top 16 results of a poll among a few selected people on a WooCommerce Facebook Group.

Hope this helps a little 🙂
