19 essential WooCommerce plugins to customize your checkout

Looking for the best WooCommerce checkout plugins? I've compared 14 of them, with the real pros and cons of each, to help you cut cart abandonment and boost conversions.

WooCommerce's default checkout works, but it's basic: a separate cart page, then one long form, with no popup option, no upsells and limited control over the fields. For a lot of stores, that friction quietly costs sales.

The right checkout plugins fix that, and reducing checkout steps alone can increase conversion rates by up to 35%. I'll group the 14 below by what they do best - speed, field customization, funnels, payments and extra features - so you can jump to whatever your store needs most.

If you want the short version, here are my top picks by use case:

• Best for international storesWPML Multicurrency lets customers pay in their own currency.

What are the benefits of using WooCommerce checkout plugins?

Even stores with efficient checkouts can gain from what these tools add. Here are the main reasons a checkout plugin is worth installing.

1. Enhancing the customer experience

A good WooCommerce cart plugin gives you control over which fields customers fill in, so you can drop unnecessary steps and keep only what you need. Every extra field can cost you conversions.

2. Simplifying the checkout process

Features like one-click, popup and direct checkout cut the steps between adding to cart and paying, which reduces abandonment.

3. Converting mobile users

With over 70% of shoppers now preferring mobile for shopping, these plugins give you responsive, touch-friendly forms that prevent drop-off on small screens.

4. Increasing conversion rates

By removing friction at each step, you turn more browsers into paying customers.

5. Option to add additional features

Beyond basic optimization, the best checkout plugins provide powerful features that transform the purchase experience:

• One-click checkout - Customers complete purchases without multiple forms or unnecessary steps.
• Customize checkout fields - Tailor the process by adding or removing fields per your store's needs.
• Abandoned cart recovery - Some WooCommerce plugins also let you recover abandoned carts by sending customers follow-up emails reminding them about their incomplete purchases.
• Multi-step checkout - Breaking the checkout into digestible steps makes the process less intimidating and easier to complete.
• Popup checkout - Customers place orders without leaving the product page, creating a smooth experience.
• Direct checkout - Orders initiate instantly without requiring cart page visits, simplifying the entire process.

Checkout plugins for speed and simplicity

Checkout speed optimization plugins focus on reducing the time and steps required to complete purchases. These solutions are ideal for stores prioritizing quick, low-friction transactions. Remember that the faster customers can complete their purchase, the less likely they are to abandon their cart.

1. WooCommerce Fast Cart

Best for: Complete checkout optimization without multiple plugins.

Cons: It's a premium plugin with no free version, and it adds a popup cart and checkout rather than redesigning your existing checkout page.

If you want to speed up and optimize your store's checkout, then our own WooCommerce Fast Cart is the perfect plugin for you. It lets customers add products and complete checkout in a popup, without ever leaving the page.

Because it updates with AJAX and shows upsells right in the floating cart, it speeds up buying and lifts order value. It also handles field customization itself, so you don't need a separate field plugin.

WooCommerce Fast Cart features

WooCommerce Fast Cart delivers multiple optimization features for creating swift, customized checkout experiences on your ecommerce website. Here are the plugin's most powerful capabilities.

• WooCommerce Fast Cart simplifies the standard checkout process to increase conversions with a popup cart and checkout mechanism.
• The Cart and/or Checkout can be loaded on any page without redirecting the users to a new page.
• You can fully customize the cart and checkout and make design as well as functional changes, such as changing button colors, displaying upsells, changing the layout, SEO, adding CSS, product image size, and more.
• You get support for almost every payment gateway, including PayPal, Stripe, Braintree, Amazon, and more.
• You can enable auto-open or display a floating cart button or icon on the website to launch the shopping cart and checkout instantly.
• For an even faster checkout process, enable the 'Direct checkout' option. This skips the cart and opens the checkout so that customers can complete their purchase straight away.

2. Jovvie Checkout

Best for: Accepting in-person payments securely without extra hardware.

Cons: It's built for in-person Tap to Pay and needs Stripe plus Fast Cart, so it won't optimize your standard online checkout on its own. The paid POS plans also run on a monthly subscription plus a small per-transaction fee, which adds up for higher-volume sellers.

Skip the bulky hardware and simplify your in-person payments with Jovvie Checkout. Whether you’re using a browser, phone, or tablet, Jovvie Checkout integrates smoothly with your existing platforms, letting you accept payments quickly and securely - no registers or complex setups required.

Jovvie Checkout turns a site running Fast Cart into a Tap to Pay in-person payment system. Open your site on a phone, tablet or laptop, add items to the cart, and check out with the same fields, taxes, coupons and shipping rules you already use.

When the customer is ready, take a contactless payment on a supported phone or Stripe card reader. WooCommerce creates the order and updates your inventory and customer records in the same place you already manage them, with no extra POS or manual syncing.

Jovvie Checkout features

• No-Code Integration: Get started in minutes without developers.
• Smooth Platform Setup: Works with plugins, apps, and your existing store setup.
• Tap to Pay on iPhone & Android: Accept payments directly with your device - no extra hardware needed.
• Multiple Payment Methods: Support for credit/debit cards, contactless payments, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and more.
• Terminal Readers or Tap to Pay: Use Stripe-certified readers or Tap to Pay on Apple and Android devices.
• Instant Sync: Keep all online and offline transactions up to date automatically.
  Secure & Compliant: Built-in PCI compliance, encryption, and protection for every transaction.

3. Direct Checkout for WooCommerce

Best for: Eliminating cart page for direct purchases.

Cons: The free version only skips the cart page; in-page checkout, upsells and the quick-purchase button need the paid version. It's also built around the classic checkout, so it doesn't support WooCommerce's newer block checkout.

Direct checkout functionality pushes customers straight to checkout, bypassing the cart page entirely. You can use the free WooCommerce Direct Checkout plugin to let your customers bypass the cart page and go directly to the checkout page.

The plugin adds a "Purchase" or "Buy Now" link that allows visitors to place an order without the need to review the cart. The plugin has other useful features, such as the option to remove checkout fields, AJAX add to cart, and a quick purchase button option.

If you already have WooCommerce Fast Cart, you won't need this plugin, since Fast Cart includes built-in direct checkout that skips the cart and launches an in-page checkout.

If you'd rather your customers check out on a separate page, the Direct Checkout for WooCommerce plugin does that job.

Direct Checkout for WooCommerce pricing

The free version of the plugin is available on the WordPress repository. There are premium versions of the plugin that comes with additional features like a quick purchase button, one-page checkout, and AJAX add-to-cart option. The paid version costs $49 for a single-site license, $99 for a 5-site license, and $149 for an unlimited sites license.

Checkout plugins for customization and control

Field customization WooCommerce checkout plugins give you precise control over checkout forms. This allows you to collect exactly the information you need while removing unnecessary friction.

4. Checkout Field Editor for WooCommerce – Checkout Manager (By Jcodex)

Best for: Complete checkout customization and compatibility with both block and classic checkout.

Cons: It only edits checkout fields, and advanced conditional logic and repeater fields need the paid version. It's also a young plugin with a small user base, and it was briefly pulled from WordPress.org over a security issue, so it's less proven than the bigger names.

The Checkout Field Editor for WooCommerce by Jcodex Technologies is one of the most powerful plugins available for customizing your WooCommerce checkout process. It enables you to easily add, edit, remove, and rearrange checkout fields on your WooCommerce store all through a simple, intuitive interface.

Unlike other plugins that only support the classic checkout, this plugin is fully compatible with both block and classic checkout layouts, ensuring your checkout customization remains future-proof as WooCommerce continues to evolve.

With advanced conditional logic, you can display or hide specific checkout fields based on customer selections, cart contents, or user roles. It also allows field validation and email integration so that all custom field data is automatically included in order details and confirmation emails.

Key features

Checkout Field Editor features

• Block & Classic Checkout Compatible: Works perfectly with both new WooCommerce block checkout and traditional checkout layouts.
• Add, Edit & Remove Fields: Easily manage billing, shipping, and additional fields from a user-friendly dashboard.
• Conditional Logic: Show or hide checkout fields based on product categories, cart contents, or user choices.
• Email Integration: Automatically include custom field data in order and confirmation emails.
• Multilingual Ready: Compatible with WPML and other translation plugins for global stores.
• Developer Friendly: Offers hooks and filters for advanced customization when needed.

Checkout Field Editor pricing

The Checkout Field Editor for WooCommerce is available for free on the WordPress Plugin Directory. The Pro version adds advanced conditional logic, repeater fields and priority support. It starts at $39 per year for a single site, $80 for 5 sites and $188 for unlimited sites.

5. Checkout Field Editor for WooCommerce (by ThemeHigh)

Best for: Stores needing specialized field management and advanced conditional logic.

Cons: It's focused on field management, so it won't speed up or redesign the checkout itself, and the most useful options (conditional logic, price fields) are Pro-only. It also shows frequent upgrade and review prompts in your dashboard.

ThemeHigh's Checkout Field Editor plugin customizes WooCommerce checkout forms through drag-and-drop field management. It provides complete field customization with over 20 field types including text, select, checkboxes, date pickers, and file uploads. Its drag-and-drop interface requires no coding knowledge, making it accessible for store owners of all technical levels.

This plugin excels at conditional logic support, allowing you to show or hide fields based on cart contents, user roles, or other field values. Custom validation rules ensure data quality, while order email integration automatically includes custom field data in confirmation emails.

Checkout Field Editor specializes in field management. Use it with Fast Cart to display the edited fields in a conversion-boosting WooCommerce popup checkout.

Checkout Field Editor features

• Drag-and-drop interface for easy field arrangement without coding.
• Conditional logic support to display fields based on specific criteria.
• Over 20 field types including custom validators and price fields.
• Create custom sections to organize related fields together.
• WPML compatibility for multilingual stores.
• Integration with order emails and admin notifications.

Checkout Field Editor pricing

The free version is available on the WordPress repository. The Pro version starts at $99 per year for a single site and includes advanced features like repeater fields, field conditions, and priority support.

For sales funnels and upsells

Sales funnel plugins help you maximize order value through strategic upsells, cross-sells, and optimized conversion paths.

6. FunnelKit

Best for: Stores focused on conversion optimization through complete sales funnel creation.

Cons: It's a full funnel builder, which is more than you need if you only want to adjust the existing checkout. It's also the heaviest tool here, so it can add load time, and the conversion features (upsells, A/B testing and order bumps) are in the paid plan.

FunnelKit builds high-converting sales funnels with advanced checkout customization capabilities. The plugin provides a complete funnel building solution with drag-and-drop editor functionality, allowing you to create opt-in pages, landing pages, checkout pages, and thank you pages without coding.

FunnelKit specializes in complete conversion funnels, while Fast Cart focuses on immediate popup optimization for your existing checkout. If your goal is order bumps and one-click upsells across a full funnel rather than a quicker version of the checkout you already have, FunnelKit is the stronger fit.

FunnelKit features

• Drag-and-drop editor for creating complete sales funnels.
• A/B testing capabilities to optimize conversion rates.
• Order bump functionality for increasing average order value.
• One-click post-purchase upsells to maximize revenue.
• Pre-built conversion templates for quick setup.
• Multi-step and one-page checkout options.
• Integration with popular page builders and email marketing tools.

FunnelKit pricing

The free version provides basic funnel building features. Pro pricing starts at $99.50 per year for a single site, including advanced features like one-click upsells, A/B testing, and priority support.

7. CheckoutWC

Best for: Stores wanting complete checkout design transformation inspired by Shopify's interface.

Cons: At $139-$149 a year it's the priciest option here. It also replaces the block checkout rather than working with it, and it's deliberately narrow - it redesigns the checkout but doesn't build funnels or upsells.

CheckoutWC replaces WooCommerce's default checkout interface with a Shopify-inspired design. The plugin transforms your checkout into a clean, conversion-optimized three-step process that reduces cart abandonment through proven design principles.

Features include address autocomplete for faster form completion, mobile-first responsive design and a conversion-optimized layout. The distraction-free environment removes elements that might cause customers to abandon their purchase.

CheckoutWC focuses on a complete design overhaul, while Fast Cart keeps your existing design and adds popup functionality. Use them together and the CheckoutWC checkout appears inside the Fast Cart popup.

CheckoutWC features

• Address autocomplete functionality for faster checkout.
• Mobile-first responsive design for optimal mobile conversions.
• Conversion-optimized three-step process based on Shopify's design.
• Distraction-free checkout environment.
• Express checkout support for Apple Pay and Google Pay.
• Trust badge integration and social proof elements.

CheckoutWC pricing

CheckoutWC Lite is free with basic features. The Pro version starts at $139 per year for a single site and includes advanced features like side cart, local pickup options, and premium templates.

8. WooCommerce One Page Checkout

Best for: Consolidating product selection with checkout completion.

Cons: It's a premium extension ($79/year) aimed at combining product selection and checkout on one page, not general checkout optimization. It's also an older official extension that reviewers rate poorly, so it feels dated next to newer tools.

As the name WooCommerce One Page Checkout suggests, the plugin helps you set up a one-page checkout mechanism on your WooCommerce store. So, with the plugin in place, your customers can choose products, checkout, and complete the payment all on the same page.

The plugin displays both product selection and checkout forms on a single page. This way, customers can add or remove products from their cart and pay without leaving the page and waiting for another page to load.

WooCommerce One Page Checkout features

• Let your customers select the products, review the cart and complete the payment all from the same page.
• The plugin is super simple to set up and comes with a detailed knowledge base.
• You can also create a custom, unique landing page for special promotions and occasions.
• With built-in and custom templates, you can choose a suitable layout for your store.
• You get support from the WooCommerce team.

To create a more structured checkout, you can pair WooCommerce One Page Checkout with our own WooCommerce Product Table plugin. Together they display the cart in a table format and let customers check out from the same page.

For the full walkthrough, see my guide on creating a one-page checkout for WooCommerce. It shows how to build a simple, organized checkout with a product cart table like this:

WooCommerce One-Page Checkout pricing

The plugin costs $79 per year and comes with all the features. You get updates and support for a one-year subscription, and you also get a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Checkout plugins for payment integration

Payment integration plugins expand your checkout's payment options and simplify the payment process for better conversions.

9. PayPal Payments for WooCommerce

Best for: Express payments and customer trust through familiar interface.

Cons: It's a payment gateway rather than a checkout-layout tool. It also has a mixed reputation, with recurring reports that updates can break checkout, so test it on a staging site before updating a live store.

PayPal is one of the leading payment gateways and one of the highly preferred payment alternatives for online shoppers. With PayPal Checkout for WooCommerce, you can easily add PayPal as a payment gateway to your WooCommerce Store.

By adding PayPal as a payment gateway, you can allow your store shoppers to make payments to you through PayPal, which is a well-known gateway currently being used by millions of people worldwide.

Adding PayPal Payments is not the same as just offering PayPal as a payment option at checkout. With PayPal Payments, the plugin adds the PayPal interface and buttons earlier in the purchase process, such as the single product page or the popup cart in WooCommerce Fast Cart. It effectively replaces the WooCommerce checkout with PayPal.

By integrating the familiar PayPal checkout process into your online store, you can boost more conversions as people know the interface, thus removing any roadblocks.

Features of PayPal Payments

• The plugin lets you integrate the PayPal checkout interface into your store to help build trust and boost conversions.
• The plugin also lets your customer pay using Venmo (US), Pay Later, and credit & debit cards at no additional cost.
• You get additional benefits such as instant access to funds, fraud detection, global compliance, and more.
• With PayPal checkout, you can target international audiences as well as most other emerging markets.

PayPal Payments is available for free to download. You can get it here.

10. WooCommerce Buy Now

Best for: Immediate purchases bypassing cart review process.

Cons: The button comes as part of the Cashier suite (around $149/year), so you're buying the whole checkout bundle even if you only want Buy Now. There's also little public review history to vet it against.

If you wish to add an immediate checkout option on your website, the WooCommerce Buy Now plugin is a very good option. With WooCommerce Buy Now, you can add a one-click checkout mechanism on your store that skips the cart page and redirects users to checkout / any other predefined page.

While the plugin's function is pretty straightforward, it comes with a few additional features that can help you make the checkout more smooth.

WooCommerce Buy Now features

• WooCommerce Buy Now can help you increase conversions by letting your customers quickly place orders without the need to visit the cart page.
• You can embed coupons with the WooCommerce Buy Now plugin, where the discount will automatically be applied when a user initiates a checkout.
• Not just the checkout page; you can redirect the users to any other page using the buy now links.
• You get compatibility with all payment gateways. With popular payment gateways like PayPal and Stripe, you get a one-click order completion option as well.
• With the Quick Checkout feature, you can let your non-logged-in users or guest users place an order without logging in.

WooCommerce Buy Now pricing

The WooCommerce Buy Now feature is part of the Cashier plugin. You can get the Cashier plugin for $149. You get updates and support for one year and a 30-day money-back guarantee with this plugin.

Plugins for additional checkout features

These plugins add specialized functionality to enhance specific aspects of your checkout process.

11. WooCommerce Extra Fees

Best for: Dynamic fee calculation based on customer selections.

Cons: It only manages fees and surcharges, so it's a companion to a checkout plugin rather than a standalone solution, and some users have found free features moved behind the Pro paywall in updates.

The WooCommerce Extra Fees plugin lets you charge extra fees at checkout, remove the shipping fee, or add a custom fee based on the cart value or the quantity of products added.

With a simple and easy-to-use interface, the plugin is lightweight and helps modify the store set by adding rules and conditions.

WooCommerce Extra Fees plugin key features

• Create dynamic pricing rules based on user selection such as packaging fee, quick delivery, secure order, heavyweight, user role, and more.
• Set up surcharges and other types of fees based on your business needs.
• Easily merge or rename the fees as per your requirements.
• High degree of flexibility with support for multiple types of extra fees, such as percentage-based fees, fixed fees, per-product fees, and more.
• Refine your pricing structure with advanced rules. Charge additional fees for specific products, categories, cart subtotals, weights, shipping classes, or quantities. Set recovery costs for substandard carts.
• Plan ahead with scheduled fees. Set start and end dates, specify days of the week, and schedule fees for precise times. Ideal for holiday surcharges or limited-time service adjustments.
• Offer flexibility with optional fees. Allow customers to select additional services like gift wrapping or expedited delivery. Customize fee types, titles, and descriptions to suit your offerings.
• Adjust fees based on the per additional quantity. Set charges per additional item, whether for the entire cart or specific products. Simplify pricing for bulk purchases.

WooCommerce Extra Fees pricing

Pricing starts at $139/year for 1 site.

12. WooCommerce Multiple Email Recipients

Best for: Automated order notifications to multiple departments.

Cons: It's a premium, niche tool for routing order emails to extra recipients, not a general checkout optimizer.

Our own WooCommerce Multiple Email Recipients lets you display extra customer email fields on the checkout page, so you can send confirmation and order-status emails to several recipients at once.

This is particularly useful for businesses that notify multiple departments or team members. For example, you can copy in the billing department instead of forwarding emails manually.

WooCommerce Multiple Email Recipients features

• The plugin will automatically notify all the set recipients about the order confirmation depending on the products ordered.
• You can control the additional email fields and display them on the account or checkout pages.
• The plugin is super easy to set up and takes less than 5 minutes to complete the setup process.
• You can also control the order notification emails based on WooCommerce products or categories.
• The plugin also helps with email marketing by automatically forwarding emails to necessary accounts.

WooCommerce Multiple Email Recipients pricing

The WooCommerce Multiple Email Recipients plugin costs $49 for a single site license, and you can get the license for upto 20 sites for $179. If you are planning to buy the WooCommerce Fast Cart plugin as well, you can get the two plugin bundle for just $99. You also get a 30-day no questions asked money-back guarantee.

13. Social Login for WordPress

Best for: Reducing registration friction through social authentication.

Cons: The free version is closer to a limited trial than a full free plugin, with in-dashboard ads and upgrade prompts, and a recurring complaint that the main login providers need a paid plan.

Often users abandon the checkout process due to the need to fill in too many checkout fields and one way to reduce this requirement is by enabling social media login on your WooCommerce store. With Social Login and Register for WordPress, you can let your potential customer place orders by simply logging in using a social platform.

The free version of the WordPress Social Login lets you integrate with 11 social platforms such as Facebook, Google, Discord, Twitter, LinkedIn, Snapchat, and more.

WordPress Social Login features

• You can choose from 10+ popular social platforms to let your customers log in and complete the purchase.
• The plugin's setup process is pretty straightforward, and you can complete the setup process in minutes.
• Set assigning user roles to users logging in from particular social platforms on automation.
• Set up auto redirects to any page of your choice to redirect users to any page after logging in or logging out.
• You can also control the design and display aspects, such as the color of the social icons, positioning, and more.
• You can display social login icons anywhere on the WordPress website using shortcodes.
• You also get additional social features such as social sharing options, replying to Facebook comments, Disqus comments, floating social share widgets, and more.

WordPress Social Login pricing

The WordPress Social Login plugin is available for free on the WordPress repository. There is also a paid version, which starts at $89 and comes with the option to choose from 40+ social login apps.

14. WPML WooCommerce Multilingual Currency

Best for: International stores requiring multi-currency checkout support.

Cons: It only helps international stores rather than checkout speed or design, it's powerful but complex to set up, and the multi-currency side has had price-calculation bugs worth testing before you go live.

If you are selling and shipping to multiple countries with different currencies, WooCommerce Multilingual and Multicurrency (WPML) can help you with any currency conversion-related issues.

You can set up and manage products in multiple currencies to start selling internationally. Customers pay in their own currency without having to convert prices themselves, which makes checkout easier for international shoppers.

Before choosing which currencies to add, it's worth checking your store's geographic traffic in Google Analytics so you focus on the right ones.

You can add a currency switcher so customers choose their preferred currency from a dropdown. Other features include custom prices and exchange rates per currency, automatic rate updates and currency formatting.

For a closer look, see my detailed review of WPML multi-currency.

WPML WooCommerce Multilingual Currency features

• Display multiple currencies and cater to an international audience even if customers are checking out digital products such as software or bookings.
• You can set your own custom exchange rates or connect with an automatic updating service.
• This plugin allows you to set custom additional shipping rates in your secondary currencies.
• You can also add and display currency swithers to your ecommerce site.
• The plugin can automatically change the currency based on the location of the customer.
• When used with WPML, you can translate and customize all content on your WooCommerce store.

WPML WooCommerce Multilingual Currency pricing

You can download the WPML free plugin from the WordPress repository. If you want the premium version, you can get it for $39 for a single site 1-year license. If you want more features, you can go with the Multilingual CMS plan, which costs $99 per year and has every feature WPML has to offer.

Which WooCommerce checkout plugin should you choose?

The right choice depends on your main goal. With 14 options to weigh up, here's how I'd narrow it down by what you're trying to fix.

I recommend starting with these key decision points:

Speed optimization: Choose Fast Cart for a complete popup solution or Direct Checkout for simple cart-skipping. These plugins work best when checkout speed is your primary concern.

Field customization: Choose Fast Cart for an integrated approach or the Checkout Field Editor for specialized management. Consider whether you need basic field adjustments or advanced conditional logic.

Sales conversion: Choose FunnelKit for complete funnels with order bumps and upsells. The plugin helps maximize order value through product recommendations.

Payment options: Choose PayPal Payments for a familiar express checkout. Whichever gateway you add, check it's compatible with your existing setup.

Checkout redesign: Choose CheckoutWC for a polished, Shopify-style checkout without touching code.

International sales: Choose WPML Multicurrency so customers can pay in their own currency.

Additional factors to consider include:

• Technical skill level determines complexity needs. If you're comfortable with advanced configurations, plugins like FunnelKit offer extensive customization. For simpler needs, Fast Cart provides powerful features without technical complexity.
• Budget affects available features. While free versions exist for many plugins, premium features often justify their cost through improved conversions.
• Existing setup influences compatibility. Check that new plugins work with your current theme and other installed plugins.
• For stores needing multiple improvements, Fast Cart provides speed, customization, and upsell capabilities in one complete solution. This eliminates potential conflicts between multiple plugins while simplifying management.

Choosing your WooCommerce checkout plugins

You don't need all 14 of these plugins. Most stores do best with one or two that target their biggest checkout problem, and many of these tools combine well, so you can layer on a second one later if you need it.

Almost all the plugins in this list come with 14-30 day money-back guarantees, so you can test one risk-free and request a refund if it doesn't fit.

If you want the biggest impact from a single plugin, I'd start with WooCommerce Fast Cart, which speeds up checkout, adds upsells and customizes fields in one place. To send order emails to more than one person, add WooCommerce Multiple Email Recipients, and if you sell from a large catalog, our own WooCommerce Product Table pairs well with one-page checkout.
