In fact, on the WordPress.org plugins repo alone there’s an incredibly inspiring 1,000+ plugins available that are centred around the lovely world of WooCommerce (and thats just scratching the surface).
With this in mind, we’ve pulled together the most comprehensive list of free WooCommerce extensions for 2015 that is sure to put a smile on your face and your wallet back in your pocket.

Just to say that the Table Rate Shipping plugin looks a bit, how shall I say, out of date…

It should help a lot of new WC devs (even if a lot of them a more “freemium” than “free”) 😉
Frédéric

With woo-commerce slider plugins , you can place a slider on your store as well as WordPress page as per you wish . You can define the number of products you want to show in the slider as well as place the Add to Cart button on a product slide . But for this you need most active and effective woo commerce slider plugins and some of them are narrated here . Any way i convey thanks a lot to author for sharing such important topic here with acceptable information .

Anyone know what happened to WooCommerce Poor Guys Swiss Knife? It seems to have disappeared from the repository, and I don’t see any explanation of what happened.
I noticed this too.. Lots of sites refer to this plugin but it doesn’t appear to be available anymore.. This is pretty recent because I did see it in the repository a couple of months ago.
When I was searching around a while back, I think I ran across a place to download it, but it seemed a bit fishy to me… and since it it isn’t in the repository and I can’t find any explanation why, I’m kind of wary to use it at this point.
Awesome Josh!
great list thanks – a lot of things to work towards.
There is one more plugin available to send SMS to wordpress woocommerce users http://springedge.com/wordpress-woocommerce-sms-plugin-free.html
Great list! I’ll mention another one here that we developed called Woo Credits which you can get at WP.org https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-download-credits/ or http://www.woocredits.com/
It essentially lets you create credit packages which customer buy, then use/redeem credits towards products in your store – very similar to how iStock.com and other credit based sites work.
Thanks and have a great day!
2. WooCommerce Poor Guys Swiss Knife
is not available at the given link please provide the new one if possible.
Thank you
keerthy
I’d be very careful at this point too, unless something is heard from the original author, or a reputable WP community member takes it over. I’ve seen it posted places, but not anywhere I’d trust.
Great list! A few weeks ago I also wrote about the best WooCommerce plugins for 2017.
https://www.cloudways.com/blog/must-have-woocommerce-plugins/
Great list!
The WooCommerce Sync https://goo.gl/FvxPHc is a must for anyone who uses QuickBooks Online!
My favorite plugin is “Woocommerce Force Product Shippings” In your store you can have a lot of products but some of shop items /products may be needs only one or few specific shipping methods : So using this plugin simply the shop admin can force the shipping method for the single product by checking the desired shipping method in the product backend . Force External shipping methods as (DHL , Fedex , UPS ,USPS, Roal Mail , Australian post , Canadian Post or many others) and Default Woocommerce shipping methods .
this is the link in case you want to test it
https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-force-product-shippings/9706211
Amazing! These plugins are looking really helpful for woocommerce. WooCommerce POS is one I liked the most in all these and also thinking to use it.
Great List! Thanks for sharing the list of best woo-commerce plugins.
Nice list. Really helps to run the store on daily basis.
