Hello Warriors,

surfing aroung, I ended up with the following question/issue: once installing WP+Woo as main part of an online store, what else do you consider to have as minimum for a stable operating online store? Which plugins or modules would be good to have to run operations? Somewhere here in Shopify thread there was a list of "good-to-have" plugins for a Shopify store, but what about WP?

Thank you for sharing!

    I also run my online store on WC. Added AddToAny Share Buttons, Captcha, Sitemaps and WP-Mail-SMTP. That's it basically.

      What about payment gateway? Today I did a loooong research about payment gateways, which should be: a). European (to accept Euros and SEPA-payments without any additional conversions from USD to EUR) b). Be free (the most of plugins/modules cost about 79usd) c). Have good rating/support/updates etc. I don't talk about 2CO, stripe, authorize and most other common gateways as they are US origin or are not supported in my country. So I have found so far two more or less good options: Mollie and Paywill. Will these days compare them and then decide.
      P.S.I have mentioned here solution for credit card acceptance. I have already PayPal and wanted to increase the conversion rate by adding cc processing.

    Forgot that I also installed some WC tweaks, such as custom cross-sells etc.

    Does anyone have any site security plugins which protect your business from hackers/spammers? Do you need an SSL certificate for the entire store, or external SSL protected shopping cart would be enough? Any ideas?

    I like Product Bundles, CSV Import, UPS/FedEx and USPS extensions, a Rewards extension and a coupon extension. There are lots of extremely useful extensions. Just depends on what you want to do.

      Hi jayparkinson, the aim is simple: to have a running online store based on WP+Woo + some plugins which make it possible to secure everyday's operations: orders, payments, store security, delivery, client satisfaction and many more others whatever it is.

      3. WooCommerce Payment Gateway (With cost+ pricing)

      Helcim, whatever that is, is not a required gateway. There are tons of payment options for WooCommerce. Is that your product?

        A WooCommerce gateway I am happy with, similar to the great product ratings plugin suggested for #4! It's always nice to hear recommendations for a product, there's such a flurry of under-maintained apps. Which payment gateways and product review plugins have you happened to have positive and negative experiences with?
