Boostly – Conversion & Sales Booster for WooCommerce

Boostly is a modular WooCommerce plugin that adds Quick View, Sticky Add to Cart, Direct Checkout, Trust Badges, Free Shipping Bar, and more to your store — in one lightweight, performance-first toolkit. Enable only the modules you need. Disabled modules load zero CSS and zero JavaScript. 📖 Documentation Every disabled module contributes zero CSS, zero JavaScript, and zero database queries to your page. Active modules load assets only on the exact pages where they render. ⚡ 10 WooCommerce Conversion Modules — 100% Free 1. Quick View for WooCommerce Let shoppers preview full product details — images, description, price, variations — in a modal popup without leaving the shop page. Includes AJAX add-to-cart and variable product support with variation selectors. 2. Sticky Add to Cart for WooCommerce A floating sticky bar that keeps the Add to Cart button always visible as customers scroll. Shows product thumbnail, title, price, and quantity. On variable products, the bar's button scrolls shoppers back to the variation form so they can choose their options. 3. Direct Checkout / Buy Now Button Skip the cart entirely. One click sends shoppers straight to WooCommerce checkout. Works on simple and variable products. Reduces cart abandonment for high-intent buyers. 4. Free Shipping Progress Bar Animated progress bar showing how much more the shopper needs to unlock free shipping. v1.1.3: choose "Auto-detect" to read the minimum order amount straight from your WooCommerce Free shipping method (matched to the customer's shipping zone), or keep typing the amount yourself. v1.1.2: Updates in real-time via AJAX when items are added or removed — no page reload needed. Includes an optional 🎉 confetti burst when the goal is reached. 5. WooCommerce Sales Notifications Recent purchase popups powered by real WooCommerce orders, virtual demo entries, or mixed mode. v1.1.2: Clicking a notification now opens the product page directly — turning social proof into a navigation tool. 6. Stock Scarcity & Urgency Messages Two-tier urgency: a low-stock warning and a critical-stock alert with animated bar. Use {stock} in your message to auto-insert the live count — "Only {stock} left!" 7. Recently Viewed Products Horizontal product carousel powered by browser localStorage — zero server load, zero database writes. Encourages return visits to products customers were considering. 8. Trust Badges for WooCommerce 12 inline SVG payment and security badges — no external CDN, no privacy risk. Supports up to 5 custom badges — your own label with an emoji and/or an image from your Media Library ("Halal Certified", "30-Day Returns", etc.). v1.1.2: Optional checkout page placement below the Place Order button — the highest-hesitation moment in your funnel. 9. WhatsApp Order Button (new in 1.1.3) An "Order on WhatsApp" button on product pages and, optionally, shop listings. It is a plain wa.me link with a pre-filled message (product, price, link and — on variable products — the options the shopper picked). No API, no tracking, no script from WhatsApp; nothing is contacted until a visitor clicks. 10. Sale Countdown Timer (new in 1.1.3) Counts down to the real end date of a WooCommerce scheduled sale. No end date, no timer — there are no fake or evergreen countdowns. Counts client-side, so it works with page caching. ⚡ What's New in v1.1.3 Hide modules where you don't want them Every product-level module now has a Visibility tab to hide it in chosen product categories (sub-categories included), plus a Boostly — Visibility box on the product edit screen to hide modules on a single product. WhatsApp Order Button and Sale Countdown Timer — two new free modules (see above). Shipping Bar — auto-detect threshold Read the free shipping minimum from WooCommerce itself so the bar always agrees with checkout. Trust Badges — custom image badges Pick badge images from the Media Library (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP). SVG uploads are intentionally not accepted. Badges can also be shown after the Place Order button of the WooCommerce Checkout block. Tools — settings import / export Back up or copy your Boostly setup as a JSON file (Boostly → Tools). Imports are validated and every value is sanitised. ⚡ What's New in v1.1.2 Shipping Bar — Real-time AJAX Update The Free Shipping Bar now refreshes instantly when items are added or removed from the cart — in the mini cart, cart page, checkout, and sticky bar — without any page reload. This was the #1 missing feature compared to dedicated shipping bar plugins. Shipping Bar — Confetti Celebration When a customer unlocks free shipping, a lightweight confetti burst fires automatically. Pure CSS keyframe animation — no external library, no performance cost. Toggle it on or off in settings. Trust Badges — Checkout Page Support Enable badges on the Checkout page to display them below the Place Order button — the moment hesitation peaks just before payment. One checkbox in settings. Sales Notifications — Click-to-Product Clicking any notification popup now navigates the shopper to that product's page. Product URLs are pulled directly from real WooCommerce order data — zero configuration needed. 🏆 Why Boostly Outperforms Separate Plugins Most WooCommerce stores install 5–8 separate conversion plugins. Each loads its own scripts, stylesheets, and database queries — even on pages where nothing renders. Boostly is built differently:

• Modular toggle — disabled modules are completely excluded from page output
• Page-aware loading — Quick View scripts only on shop pages; Sticky ATC only on product pages
• Lightweight assets — each module ships its own small CSS/JS; average module weight under 15 KB (unminified), and nothing loads for disabled modules
• One settings dashboard — all 10 modules in a single admin screen with individual tabs
• WooCommerce-native hooks — no template overrides
• HPOS compatible — declared via WooCommerce FeaturesUtil API
• Translation-ready — .pot file included for GlotPress

1.1.3

• New: Visibility controls — per-category tab on every product-level module (sub-categories included) and a "Boostly — Visibility" box on the product edit screen. One central check (Boostly_Exclusions::should_render()) is used by every module.
• New: WhatsApp Order Button module (wa.me link, pre-filled message with product, price, link and chosen variation).
• New: Sale Countdown Timer module — driven only by real WooCommerce sale end dates, client-side countdown, cache-friendly.
• New: Free Shipping Bar — "Auto-detect" threshold source reads the minimum amount of the matching WooCommerce Free shipping method. "Manual" remains the default, so existing sites behave exactly as before.
• New: Trust Badges — custom badges (label + emoji and/or Media Library image; JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP only) and optional output after the Checkout block's Place order button.
• New: Boostly → Tools — settings export / import (JSON, schema_version 1, validated and sanitised on import).
• Change: Deleting the plugin now keeps your settings unless "Delete all Boostly data when the plugin is deleted" is ticked under Boostly → Tools. Per-product visibility meta is removed with the rest when that option is on.
• Change: Per-module "Reset to defaults" also clears that module's category visibility rules.
• Improvement: the Free Shipping Bar {threshold} placeholder now shows the threshold actually in use.
• Removed: the Pro upgrade card, topbar button, "Go Pro" plugin link and all related code, so the plugin no longer contains any upgrade promotion.
• Fix: Sales Notifications "Real orders only" no longer falls back to generated demo notifications when the store has no qualifying orders; nothing is shown until real orders exist. Generated entries appear only in Virtual and Mixed modes, which show the demonstration label.

1.1.2

• New: Free Shipping Bar — real-time AJAX update via woocommerce_add_to_cart_fragments. Bar now refreshes instantly in mini cart, cart page, checkout, and sticky bar without any page reload.
• New: Free Shipping Bar — optional confetti celebration animation when free shipping threshold is reached. Lightweight pure-CSS keyframe particles — no external library.
• New: Trust Badges — "Show on Checkout page" toggle. On the classic checkout, badges render directly above the Place Order button via the woocommerce_review_order_before_submit hook.
• New: Sales Notifications — "Clicking a notification opens the product page" toggle. Product URL sourced from real WooCommerce order data and set as a data-product-url attribute; JS handles the redirect on click.
• Improvement: Free Shipping Bar cart_fragments() now returns separate fragments for mini_cart, cart, checkout, and sticky contexts — each updates independently.
• Note: Stock Scarcity {stock} placeholder was already implemented in v1.1.1 — added to changelog for visibility.

1.1.1

• New: Trust Badges — custom text badges. Add up to 5 personalized badges with emoji icons and your own text.
• New: Translation template (.pot file) — 302 translatable strings for GlotPress.
• Fix: Trust Badges SVG output uses wp_kses() with explicit allowlist.
• Fix: Trust Badges admin — inline style values wrapped with esc_attr().
• Fix: Sales Notifications virtual/mixed mode shows "For demonstration purposes" disclosure on storefront.
• Fix: load_plugin_textdomain() added — translations load correctly.
• Fix: "Tested up to" updated to WordPress 7.1.

1.1.0

• New: Redesigned admin dashboard — two-column module grid with status indicators.
• New: Plugin and WooCommerce version display in dashboard.
• Improvement: Removed promotional UI from module settings screens.

1.0.3

• Fix: Colour picker values not saving correctly on second save in Quick View and Direct Checkout design tabs.
• Fix: "Saved" confirmation incorrectly shown when switching tabs without saving.

1.0.0
