• Booster for Woocommerce is a nice plugin that gives a wide variety of options that will all work reliably.

    The ‘problems’ however start when you want to really start customizing your Woocommerce installation and you find out that while all these functions are great, the ability to adjust the styling really leaves a lot to be desired.

    I will give a few examples;
    *Product swatches, great idea but there’s no option to display the colors name when a color is selected eventhough you have to write like three descriptions for each color variation. It’s also not possible to have your swatches displayed in your dropdown as other color swatches offer.

    * Wishlist, offers wishlist functionality however, again, the way it’s set up does not lend itself to styling. Buttons can only be injected in the meta boxes for items (along with title add to cart button and such) and there is no option to replace said button for lets say a heart icon or to place to button over the product image.
    On the page where the wishlist is displayed they use some weird way to create the checkbox(they dont use radio button but some kinda square and added the letter ‘x’ as a link that removes item from wishlist). Instead of just using Woocommerces’ own “remove from cart” styling as a default.

    * The one page checkout, is a mess. It works but, your checkout form won’t be loaded until the bottom of the page, this makes the whole point of being able to check out on one page useless. Creators need to replace the add to cart section on single page into instant checkout area to not defeat the purpose.

    You will run into these small issues that make you feel limited all around this plugin, however, if you’re just looking at this plugin for all it’s functional additions, it’s really good. Bulk editing, upselling, cross selling, PDF’s, Custom statuses, you name it and it’s implemented and working near flawlessly. In short, could be easily made into my favorite plugin ever if more attention would be paid to styling options. In it’s current state, none of the areas of the plugin that serve you with something on the front end (visual additions like the swatches) to interact with are customizable enough and so won’t lend themselves to create the website you want to create.

    Some pre-existing knowledge of woocommerce and wordpress taxonomy are required if you want to most optimally use this plugin.
