You may have noticed Jay and I shouting about all the cool WooCommerce goodies we’ve been releasing at WooThemes (we now have a whopping 45 extensions and 15 themes) but what hasn’t had as much attention is all of the cool stuff the community has been releasing. Here’s a list of my favorite third-party plugins/themes currently available.
#10 – Local Pickup Shipping Method
This simple plugin adds a free, local pickup option to your shipping methods. Simple, but useful. Garmantech have also made a ‘delivery’ shipping option simular to the built in flat-rates here.

#9 – DropDown cart widget
This plugin quite simply adds a new cart widget which, unlike the built in cart, drops down when clicked to reveal the cart contents.
This is a good space-saver if you have a long sidebar, and it’s easy to implement.

#8 – WooCommerce Exporter
This free plugin lets you export your products into a CSV file. A handy thing to have at your disposal should you want your data in CSV format, potentially for re-importing using Visser’s Product Importer Deluxe.

#7 – WC All in one SEO Pack
Another from Visser Labs, this plugin adds compatibility for the All In One SEO Pack plugin to WooCommerce. Once installed it shows the Title/Meta options in a write panel on the edit product screen.

#6 – Pronamic iDEAL
The Pronamic iDEAL plugin allows you to easily offer the iDEAL payment method within your WordPress website.
Available for free via WordPress.org, the Pronamic iDeal plugin works with WooCommerce, Gravity Forms and Shopp supporting several iDeal variants, including ING, Rabobank, Mollie, and ANB AMRO.
Dutch users may also appreciate their NL translation for WooCommerce, also available on WordPress.org.
#5 – Clean Cut
Clean Cut is a clean, minimal WooCommerce theme available on ThemeForest. As you can see from the demo, the theme has a large slider containing featured products and a flexible, widgetized homepage.
#4 – Piggy
Piggy is a great little plugin/web-app which works on iOS and Android and is used to display sale stats and orders from your store.
It supports the best WP eCommerce plugins, including WooCommerce of course, and provides you with push notifications for new orders, and gives you access to all kinds of data such as live sales stats and sales forecasts.

#3 – WP Sharp
WP Sharp is a highly customisable corporate/portfolio style theme with support for WooCommerce and BBPress baked in. There are lots of options built into this theme such as SEO, layout options and a homepage slider. The product pages themselves also look very clean.

#2 – WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition
The WooCommerce admin bar plugin adds a new menu to the WordPress Admin Bar with links to all of the WooCommerce settings pages. It also adds some useful links to other WooCommerce resources, for example, the user guide and codex.
This plugin is a great timesaver if you frequently visit the WooCommerce admin pages, and is freely available from WordPress.org.

#1 – Abundance
Abundance is a WooCommerce theme created by Kriesi which is available from Themeforest.
The theme has an plethora of features, layout options, and colour variations. The built in mega-menu is a particular highlight of this theme; store owners may find this useful if they have many product categories. Check out the demo here.
We’re really happy that Kriesi (the first Themeforest author to sell $1 million worth of items) has chosen WooCommerce to power his theme – I think that proves we’re doing a good job
