Myddfai Trading Company, a Welsh social enterprise producing premium toiletries and home fragrance products, faced a critical problem: their WordPress site was running over 60 plugins. This extreme plugin bloat created constant conflicts and expensive custom development. When redesigning with a bilingual English/Welsh interface, they needed a complete rethink.
The challenge: reducing 60+ plugins to a manageable setup
By 2020, Myddfai's site was running over 60 plugins - creating constant conflicts and a maintenance nightmare.
"The level of custom development needed to keep everything working together had become too difficult and expensive to maintain," explains Paul Long, Retail & E-commerce Manager.
For their redesign, Myddfai sought a single provider whose tools would work seamlessly together and be fully compatible with WPML. Barn2's All Access Pass provided the solution, with five core plugins handling their retail and wholesale needs.
Results: streamlined operations and better customer experience
Barn2's integrated plugins transformed Myddfai's operations. Retail customers now see only retail products and pricing, while trade customers automatically access wholesale-specific pricing through WooCommerce Wholesale Pro.
WooCommerce Product Table revolutionised phone orders, enabling staff to process orders quickly with automatic order history recall. WooCommerce Product Tabs eliminated duplication by allowing standardised tabs (like "Candle Safety") to apply across multiple products.
Barn2's plugins are exceptionally well-designed, fully compatible with each other, and backed by excellent documentation and support.

Most importantly, the site became more stable and maintainable. By switching from 60+ plugins to Barn2's All Access Pass, Myddfai slashed development costs while improving functionality.
"We've found their tools both powerful and reliable - a rare combination that's made managing our retail and wholesale operations far more efficient," Paul notes.
This shows how businesses can dramatically simplify complex WooCommerce setups - especially when managing dual channels with multilingual support.
