The Top WooCommerce Plugins for 2020 – How to Get the Most from Your WooCommerce Installation
WordPress continues to dominate web publishing, and, as a result, WooCommerce now owns well over a quarter of the eCommerce space. With so many web stores running on WooCommerce, a sea of third-party applications have been developed to help those merchants get the most out of their online efforts. The following are four of the best third-party apps available in 2020, covering everything from on-site search to drop shipping to analytics, and beyond.

AliDropship
Dropshipping is an extremely popular avenue for online commerce because it doesn’t require merchants to hold any expensive inventory themselves. But finding and adding drop-shipped products to a store is time-consuming. The AliDropship plugin aims to make that process faster and easier by integrating the user’s WooCommerce store with AliExpress. The plugin allows merchants to import products directly from AliExpress, including all important reviews, eliminating most of the manual work involved in adding new items and building out sales pagers. The app also enables users to set pricing rules so that prices are automatically set on all new imported products.

The natural result is a better shopping experience and boosted sales. Doofinder’s predictive search uses search data to tailor the search experience for new users based on previous behavior.
