WP EasyCart: Shopping Cart and eCommerce Store

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

256 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 199 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

   I have researched many eCommerce solutions and WPEasyCart is by far the best. I have installed it on more than one site. The documentation and how-to videos are super helpful. When I’ve had a particular question that wasn’t answered by the documentation, I submitted a support ticket and the problem was seen through to resolution. The pricing is also highly competitive. Many plugins appear affordable until you find out you need multiple add-ons, which also incur monthly or annual costs, to achieve particular functionality. WPEasyCart has a free option where there is a simple flat fee on top of the payment processing fees. If you purchase a plan, Pro or Premium, those fees are eliminated. Thanks for everything EasyCart!

   About 4 years ago I switch to Easycart because almost everything that cost extra in woocommerce is included in easycart. It has saved me a lot of money and so easy to use and config. Their support has always been top-notch, and they always respond within 24 hours, sometimes within an hour. Not only do they fix a problem/issue, but they also point you in the right direction when the issue is being caused by something else. Instead of saying the problem is not caused by us, they actually tell you who or what may be the problem.

   I’ve used WPEasyCart a couple of times and just enjoy how easy it is to get things going. There are so many configuration options that it can take a while to work out what is what but straight out of the box you can have a basic shop up and running very quickly. I’ve used WooCommerce a few times and while it is ‘free’ you quickly need to add plugins to support and these are often subscription based. WPEasyCart has a free component but you’ll pay for it with a 2% transaction fee. You’re better off to buy a PRO subscription and knock that on the head. Plus you support the developer. and…. you’ll most likely save money on all the woo plugins you would otherwise buy. The product is really solid, it has a tonne of options. The support team are very good and very thorough. Just make sure you provide them login details early on, just in case. My only gripe at the moment, is about further customisation to the store front products. But this is probably more a ‘me’ issue. I’ll keep looking at ways to improve the look and feel. Its fine out of the box and looks fantastic with the demo products. But with my books it looks a bit janky. and I think this is down to images and the way they are displayed. Big thumbs up for this product. I hope it continues to prosper and grow. I hope the bigtime WP Builders take note and start building integrations to it.

   the plugin is quite good, but far away from being a competitor for woo.easy to install, easy to use. If you desire a small onlineshop, this could be your choice, as it is really nice looking. I have no issue that you restrict the free version, but only 2 Images??? really? Beside of this, the plugin has performance issues, it is lacking especially in terms of mobile speed. Which is key these days. In relation to others is this plugin quite good. But for me is the amount of pictures and the mobile speed a no-go.

   I, a retiree created my own photography website all alone to show off the harvest of my new hobby, nature photography using WP and a few plugins that catered to my needs . I had plans to sell my photographs as Printed/Framed and as Downloads. But adding ecommerce was a humongous task with the basic knowledge I had on the subject. It was hard for me to learn it either with the time I needed to be outdoors. I had been procastinating the adding of ecommercewhile trying out different ecommerce plugins till I came across WPEasycart Plugin that I am indebted forever. I did an overhaul and completed the basic structure of the website with a few of my thousands of images to go online. I tried the free version and decided to buy the Pro version to appreciate this marvellous creation. As and when I came across a specific need, I contacted the developing team for a unique custom solution. To my suprise, each and every feature I was looking for was already incorporated into the pllugin under various modules. It was my not studying the plugin in full or my impatince that prompted those questions. Adjusting the plugin interfaces ioncluding text colour to suite my dark theme was just one of the issues I had. The solution was just one click away in the Design Module! To appreciate this product, I struggled with my limited knowhow on WP and Neve to give footer credit to WP Easycart on the theme of my siite, with no help from the Plugin developers. Last week, citing the fact that I spent already on buying the plugin, they turned down my request to make a donation for the plugin. ( I got a lot for the price I paid for it though.) I am planning to mention about this plugin and my experience with it in a few fora to help WP EasyCart as well as novice WP site developers. Honestly, I believe WP easycart deserves more exposure.. Wishing all the Best to WP Easycart.

   I was able to get my WP EasyCart store up and running quickly and easily. The templates and information on their knowledge base was very helpful as I had to troubleshoot some minor configuration issues. I did have to submit a couple technical work order requests for help with the shipping application that interacts with FedEx, UPS, and USPS External sites and the technical support team was very quick to answer and help me with some answers to help with my integration. Overall, the product and support has been a great experience.

   I have always used woocommerce for e-com sites. And it’s always a huge pain getting things to look right. And if you want any flexibility at all, it’s also costly to buy all the necessary add-ons. I found EasyCart when I was looking for a solution to a basic customization for Woo – that literally is not possible without writing js. Not only does EC solve my original issue, but it is feature-rich and easy to set up and customize. I had a question about how to make something work a certain way, so I emailed EC support, and they replied quickly and understood exactly what I needed. In a world where it often seems like nothing works the way it’s supposed to, EasyCart is a breath of fresh air.
