Overview
CheckoutWC replaces the standard WooCommerce checkout page with its own purpose-built templates instead of asking you to design the page in a page builder. It is developed by Kestrel (originally created by Clifton Griffin) and sold mainly as an annual subscription, with a small free edition, CheckoutWC Lite, on WordPress.org.
How it works
Once activated, CheckoutWC takes over the checkout, order-pay and (on paid plans) order-received pages. You choose a template, add your logo, fonts and colours in a visual Checkout Editor with live preview, and decide between a multi-step flow or a one-page layout. Express payment buttons from supported gateways (Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Amazon Pay) appear at the top of the checkout.
Free vs paid
The free Lite edition gives you the default multi-step template, express checkout, ZIP-based city/state lookup, inline validation, colour/logo branding and simple text fields. The paid plans unlock the other templates, one-page checkout, Google Maps or Fetchify address autocomplete and trust badges (Basic), then order bumps, post-purchase upsells, abandoned cart emails, extra field types with fees and display conditions, a styled thank-you page and a side cart (Plus). Pro adds A/B testing of order bumps, Cloudflare Turnstile and the Order Delivery add-on for delivery dates.
Strengths
- Very quick to set up: a polished, mobile-friendly checkout without touching a page builder.
- Broad conversion toolkit in one plugin: bumps, upsells, side cart, recovery emails.
- Declares HPOS compatibility and is actively maintained (version 11.x).
Limitations
Because CheckoutWC uses its own templates, you design within its options rather than freely in Elementor or the block editor, and it replaces the block-based Checkout rather than extending it. Order bumps and recovery emails are capped at two on the Plus plan, and A/B testing only covers order bumps. There is no lifetime licence.
CheckoutWC suits store owners who want a professional, Shopify-style checkout fast and are happy to pay a yearly fee for templates and conversion add-ons in one package.
Best for: Stores that want a fast, conversion-focused checkout redesign with bumps and cart recovery, without building pages themselves.
CheckoutWC is one of the most complete template-based checkout replacements for WooCommerce and is easy to configure. The trade-off is less layout freedom than funnel builders and a yearly fee that rises quickly if you need unlimited bumps or A/B tests.

How many sites use CheckoutWC?
Free installs from WordPress.org, the vendor's own claim, and our estimate of paid installs.

Active installations reported by WordPress.org.

Estimated Pro / paid installs
~8.5K
Our estimate, see method below.
How we estimated this: The vendor counts 6.7K+ sites in total; taking away about 2.5K free installs (the middle of the WordPress.org range) leaves 4.2K, of which we count 80% (3.4K). Website scans by WPoptic find the paid plugin (folder checkout-for-woocommerce) on 5,200 live sites; measured install counts for five WooCommerce extensions show each site found stands for about 4.5, giving 23K. About 2.5K free installs x 30% (the usual share of free sites that also run the paid version when many key features are paid, and store owners upgrade more often) gives 750. Combining these (weighted average) gives about 8.5K. Likely range: 5.5K to 13K. 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.
