WooCommerce is known for being compatible with a world of plugins and extensions, which is why we love it so much! We’ve listed some excellent WooCommerce extensions previously, but this time, we’re discussing integrations with WordPress plugins.
This post contains some affiliate links. We may receive a commission for purchases made through these links. See the disclosure for more details.
Integrations deal with third party software that combines—integrates—with the plugin or software in question in order to widen the plugin’s range of functionality.
In terms of WooCommerce, there’s a boatload of WordPress plugin integrations available, so we dug a little deeper to see what quality, interesting and useful ones are out there that may have gone unnoticed.
The Plugins
In this list we give a variety of plugins that serve different purposes, attempting to provide a holistic approach to bolstering your WooCommerce business.
1. TrustPulse
($39/yr-$349/yr)
Category: Marketing
Notable Features: Real-Time Event Tracking and On Fire Notifications
Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) is a real motivator when it comes to social networking and TrustPulse helps alleviate the FOMO fever! From the company behind the lead generation service OptinMonster, this plugin includes a wide variety of marketing features, but it’s big selling point is live updates from your WooCommerce store.
Called “On Fire” notifications, a notification will appear on the screen explaining who, or how many people, recently purchased a certain item. Then there is Real-Time Event Tracking, which you may have noticed on other websites, that gives you a live stream of certain website actions, such as demo registrations, purchases, newsletter signs, etc.
All plans offer the same features, but the bigger the plan you purchase, the more “sessions” you can maintain.
2. MonsterInsights
($199/yr.-$799/yr.)
Category: Analytics
Notable Feature: Enhanced eCommerce Tracking
MonsterInsights is an analytics plugin that focuses on making marketing decisions easier. It also is incredibly user-friendly, doesn’t require any code, and you’ll receive reports on your WordPress dashboard.
It does offer insights and analytics, as with other marketing tools, but what makes this plugin standout from the rest is its thorough tracking features and real-time stats once you integrate with WooCommerce.
The eCommerce tracking is made specifically for WooCommerce stores and only takes a click of a button to activate. It will show you the number of transactions made, revenue, best selling products, and even cart activity. The reports are also easy to interpret.
3. AdvancedCoupons
($97/yr.-$147/yr.)
Category: Coupons & Offers
Notable Feature: Coupon Type Variety
Coupons are not just for the physical world, anymore. The AdvancedCoupons plugin encourages you to ditch the “boring”—yes, their website calls them boring—coupons WooCommerce comes with, and switch over to the AdvancedCoupons side.
The WooCommerce integration with this plugin will offer you the following coupon upgrades: BOGO deals; Add Products, which automatically adds free or specially discounted items to a customer’s cart; Loyalty Program; Shipping Coupons, for shipping discounts; URL coupons, which apply discounts upon visiting another site.

Category: Customer Support
Notable Feature: Live Chat Forum
Need better customer service for your WooCommerce store?
With LiveChat, you can provide either automated or personalized support for all of your customer’s questions. The name of the plugin is self-explanatory; the plugin offers a live chat customer support line. With personalized support, you can connect with customers on a deeper level and create customer fidelity with custom problem solving. Managers can also easily keep track of their sales and customer service teams.
Another great perk of LiveChat is its security features, so secure that they are HIPAA ready and have Privacy Shield Certification. They offer a 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
5. RafflePress
($49/yr-$449/yr.)
Category: Giveaways & Contests

This is a high-quality giveaway and contest plugin that has an easy-to-use drag-and-drop builder, is mobile responsive, helps your giveaways go viral, and offers fraud protection and insights.
The viral features, Viral Giveaway Templates and Viral Sharing put this plugin on the list. With the templates you can personalize subscription opportunities and how the contest will go viral, and with the sharing you can automate refer-a-friend services.
Unfortunately, the viral features only kick in with the purchase of their Growth plan, but the benefits of having a plugin that generates effective contest and giveaway campaigns is even worth the basic plan.
6. Breeze
(Free Download Available. Plans begin at $22/mo.-$80/mo.)
Category: Caching
Notable Feature: Optimized site performance
Operating a WooCommerce store means that you are putting up a lot of data and server instructions on your site. This can ultimately slow down site performance, and given humans’ patience levels for loading browser pages, a slow site can mean a lost customer. Picking the right WordPress host and thinking about caching is a must.
Breeze is a caching plugin that integrates seamlessly with WooCommerce in order to solve performance issues.
Its installation is easy and you can configure the plugin from the WordPress dashboard. With all the other flashy plugins out there one may not consider the importance of eCommerce store performance right away, but once that website starts to slow down, you’ll need a plan. Think plan Breeze.
7. Query Monitor
(Free Download)
Category: Web Development
Notable Feature: Debugging
This one’s for the developers. Query Monitor is the developer’s debugging tool, looking at database queries, PHP (personal home page) errors, hooks and actions, block editor blocks, HTTP API calls, and lots more.
It also will help you separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak, showing you which plugins aren’t performing well. This is great for speeding up your WooCommerce site. If there is a plugin integration that’s doing more harm than good, Query Monitor will be able to tell you.
There is also plenty of documentation so if you’re fairly new at using this kind of plugin or need to figure out how to work the application, Query Monitor has you covered.

10. Order Delivery Date for WooCommerce

The Order Delivery Date plugin allows customers to choose their delivery date and administrators to sync those delivery dates and times to their Google calendar. This doesn’t mean the customer can choose a “now” option for each delivery, though you can have that setting available!
You can control the delivery settings, specifying minimum and maximum delivery time. For same and next day deliveries you can customize cut-off times for orders.
