WooCommerce Top Extensions

WooThemes` WooCommerce has been around for only a short time compared to other WordPress E-Commerce einvonments,
WooCommerce is my WordPress E-Commerce environment of choice and that`s no secret.

Currently there are 80 official WooCommerce extensions but this amount is growing every week!
Below is my personal selection of recommended extensions and why;

Genesis Connect

This plugin replaces WooCommerce’s built-in shop templates with its own Genesis-ready versions.

I`ve been using the Genesis Framework for over a year and been waiting for this since WooCommerce 1.1 arrived.
It`s totally free but you`ll have to have the Genesis Framework.

Piggy Lite / Piggy Pro

Piggy is a mobile sales statistics add-on for the popular WP e-Commerce, Cart66, Woo Commerce and Shopp plugins. When installed, Piggy allows access to a web-application on your iPhone or Android device that can be used to view up-to-date sales statistics for your WordPress e-commerce site.

This plugin allows customers/viewers to browse products in their own language.
To use this plugin you`ll need to have WPML.

This extension integrates with Facebook to create a tab on the left hand side of your page where customers can view your products and add them to their cart all from within Facebook. They are then taken to your site to complete their order.

This plugin makes life easier by integration your webshop with social media (Facebook).

Product Importer Deluxe earns its keep by populating the Categories, Tags and Product tables in WooCommerce with Products details from a CSV file.

This plugin allows a CSV file with products to be imported and fill your webshop. Works great with already-present store software.
