Overview

CartFlows is a funnel builder for WooCommerce made by Brainstorm Force, the company behind the Astra theme. It replaces the default checkout with its own layouts and lets you build multi-step funnels with landing, checkout, upsell, downsell and thank-you steps. The free plugin is on WordPress.org; CartFlows Pro adds the revenue tools.

How it works

You can override the store checkout globally or create funnels for individual products. Steps are pages that you can design with Elementor, Spectra/Gutenberg, Bricks, Divi, Beaver Builder and others, or use the distraction-free Instant Checkout and Modern Checkout layouts. A checkout field editor lets you add, remove and reorder fields, including file inputs.

Free vs paid

The free version includes the modern and instant checkout layouts, single-, two- and multi-step checkouts, ready-made funnel templates, the field editor, thank-you steps, pixel tracking and a basic analytics dashboard. Paid plans (Starter, Pro and Suite) add dynamic order bumps, one-click upsells and downsells, A/B split testing, advanced analytics, smart funnel routing, Google address autocomplete, auto-applied coupons, product options and premium templates. Abandoned cart recovery is a separate plugin, free on WordPress.org with a Pro version bundled in the Suite plan.

Strengths

  • Generous free version with polished checkout layouts and multi-step checkouts.
  • Works with most major page builders.
  • Lifetime licences are available on Pro and Suite.

Limitations

Order bumps, upsells and split testing all need a paid plan, and the advertised first-year prices rise at renewal. The pricing page shows two different sets of Suite tiers, which makes comparing plans harder. CartFlows does not declare compatibility with the block-based Cart and Checkout, and conditional field logic is not clearly documented.

CartFlows suits stores that already use Astra or a mainstream page builder and want a free, better-looking checkout today with the option to add funnels and upsells later.

Best for: Stores wanting a free, better-converting checkout now, with funnels and upsells available as a paid upgrade.

CartFlows offers one of the strongest free checkout replacements, and its paid plans cover the usual funnel tools at competitive prices. Its main downsides are paid-only offers and a slightly confusing pricing structure.

Pros

  • Free version includes modern, instant and multi-step checkout layouts
  • Works with Elementor, Spectra, Bricks, Divi, Beaver Builder and more
  • Dynamic order bumps and one-click upsells on paid plans

Cons

  • Order bumps, upsells and A/B testing are paid-only
  • Introductory first-year prices renew higher
  • Abandoned cart recovery is a separate plugin
  • Pricing page shows conflicting Suite tiers
  • No declared compatibility with the block-based Checkout

How many sites use CartFlows?

Free installs from WordPress.org, the vendor's own claim, and our estimate of paid installs.

Free version (WordPress.org) 200K+

Active installations reported by WordPress.org.

Vendor claim 4.2M+

Sites/users claimed on the vendor's website. source

Estimated Pro / paid installs ~33K

Our estimate, see method below.

How we estimated this: Website scans by WPoptic find the paid plugin (folder cartflows-pro) on 3,373 live sites; they find the free version on 17,043 sites against about 250K WordPress.org installs, so each site found stands for about 10, giving 34K. About 250K free installs x 12% (the usual share of free sites that also run the paid version when some key features are paid, and store owners upgrade more often) gives 30K. Combining these (weighted average) gives about 33K. The vendor figure (4.2M+) is more than 8 times the free installs, so it probably counts more than this plugin (other products or platforms) and we leave it out. Likely range: 21K to 50K. This counts sites running the paid version, including sites whose licence has lapsed. Estimates are rough and based on public figures as of 14 Oct 2026.
