Product Bundles

Grouping products together into bundles can help maximize your sales, encouraging customers to buy more items than they might otherwise have done.

The Product Bundles plugin from SomewhereWarm does just that. You can use this extension to create all sorts of different bundles, from bulk discounts to frequently-bought-together recommendations.

Its simplest function is letting you offer a discount when customers buy two or more products together. But it also lets you build pick-your-own bundles, where you give customers a list of suggested products and they pick the ones they want to add to their cart.

You can create bundles of products that are frequently bought together too, then display them as recommendations to customers who are considering one of the items in the bundle.

With Product Bundles, you have full control of the pricing and shipping setup of your bundles. It also integrates with your WooCommerce store’s inventory and will warn you when bundle products are running low.

Plus, you’ll find additional analytics to help you assess the success of your bundles and their impact on your revenue.

In short, upselling your products becomes much easier once you have Product Bundles installed on your WooCommerce site.

WooCommerce Zapier

WooCommerce Zapier

Need to connect other software with your e-commerce store but don’t have a native integration available? The WooCommerce Zapier plugin lets you connect your online shop with thousands of other cloud-based apps.

If you’ve been manually transferring data via CSV file, or even inputting it yourself, WooCommerce Zapier will save you many hours. Once the connection is set up, you can configure triggers so that data is transferred automatically.

For example, you could set up a trigger that adds a customer to your CRM database when they make a new order. Or that emails new customers a coupon when they purchase for the first time.

The plugin also integrates your store with a wide range of accounting software, such as QuickBooks, Xero, and Freshbooks.

There’s no coding required. Once you’ve linked your WooCommerce store to Zapier via the plugin, you can build workflows and automations using their intuitive editor. So, you won’t be reliant on the help of a developer when you want to set up a new automation.

Rating: 4.4/5
