If you're still wondering which platform is right for you, you can read the article above to learn the reasons and strengths and weaknesses of different platforms!
In this article, I will write about a list of 10 plugins that I often use to help turn WordPress into a professional sales website. Those are also the Plugins that I chose for my website after many times of testing.
I will provide a list and installation instructions that you can find online or ask questions in the comments section. If a plugin is requested by many people, I will write a separate article for that plugin.
1. Woocommerce
This is the backbone to turn WordPress from an open source blog into a professional sales website. There are a number of other plugins that also support WordPress to make a sales website, but when thinking about making a sales website, the only option that pops up is Woocommerce, which is popular, professional, and constantly updated.
Almost all sales themes for WordPress and supporting plugins are for Woocommerce. And the plugins below that I use are mostly Woocommerce support plugins. You can absolutely sell all kinds of products using Woocomerce such as selling products, selling ebooks, digital products, etc.
Some Vietnamese shipping and payment units also support connecting to Woocomerce such as Giaohangtietkiem, Quick Delivery, Onepay, VTCpay
2. Yoast SEO
Yoast SEO is a plugin that supports SEO optimization that almost all wordpress websites use to help you SEO onpage your website more easily thanks to the support for editing Title, Meta tags, Link, Sitemap, ... Yoast SEO will score. and display suggestions for you to edit your page content to be more on-page SEO standard.
Not only pages and articles, Yoast SEO also helps you edit tags in categories, tags, etc.
And many other features help you not worry about on-page SEO, and especially the free version is enough for you to use.
3. WooCommerce Checkout Manager
By default, Woocommerce will have many fields for customers to enter purchase information. But in Vietnam, most shoppers are lazy and just want to be quick. So this plugin will help you delete unnecessary fields and arrange them properly.
I find this plugin very useful because it helps increase the rate of customers ordering. That is also the main goal of a sales website.
4. WPSMTP
This is not really a plugin for sales websites. But it helps you install SMTP to send mail even if your email is Google, Yahoo, etc. Installing this plugin will help you receive an order notification email from Woocomerce when a customer orders so you can "meat" immediately. no matter where you are. Just install this plugin and install Google's gmail app on mobile and you can immediately receive order notifications with full information.
If you have not installed it yet, you can comment below and I will guide you!
5. BJ Lazy Load
If you are late to show many products and banners on the homepage or other pages, you should use this plugin to feel the page load speed is faster. This plugin works when you drag the page to where it starts loading images, helping customers when they start entering the page to load faster. (Some statistics show that if your website loads more than 3 seconds, customers will leave to go to another page)
6. Google Analytics Dashboard for WP
Plugin used to integrate Google Analytics into the website and view Google Analytics reporting statistics directly in the Website administration.
7. All 404 Redirect to Homepage
Redirect all non-existing pages to your homepage. Helps you avoid having dead links evaluated by Google, which reduces the website's ranking.
8. WooCommerce AdWords Conversion Tracking.
If you run Adwords ads to sell products. This will be a great plugin to help you measure the conversion efficiency of your campaigns. The order comes from which ad, which keyword and how much money is converted,...
There are many more paid plugins to help your website become more professional, I will update later. This time is so busy!
I would like to ask you that when I buy the re-hub sales theme, it is all in English. I work in Vietnam, what should I do? I hope you can share..
You use the Loco Translate plugin to translate English words in the theme. This plugin is free.
Oh, woocommerce is not compatible with wp 5.8, what should I do?
I downgraded wp to be compatible but after 2 days wp updated itself.
And the woo compatible theme has too many font errors.
How many questions want you to answer!
I'm still using 5.8 normally, right? Are you having any incompatibility issues while using it?
The font error is probably due to the theme you choose, they set the default font to a font that does not support Vietnamese. You can go to the theme settings and change to another font.
Do you do web and trading at the same time?
Before, I did marketing related to the website field. I quit marketing to trade full time a long time ago.
