Boostly — Conversion Booster
for WooCommerce

What is Boostly?

Boostly is a modular WooCommerce conversion toolkit. It ships with 8 independent modules — enable only the ones you need. Every disabled module loads zero CSS or JavaScript on the storefront, so there is no performance penalty for unused features.

Each module is self-contained: it registers its own hooks, enqueues its own assets, and stores its own settings. The plugin is built to a single WordPress.org quality standard — 0 PHPCS errors, 0 WPCS warnings under the WordPress Coding Standard.

System Requirements

Boostly is lightweight but has a small set of hard dependencies. Meeting these ensures all 8 modules function correctly.

Installation

Method A — WordPress Plugin Directory (Recommended)

Method B — Manual Upload

Quick Start

After activation you land on the Boostly dashboard at wp-admin → Boostly. Here is a recommended order to get up and running in under 5 minutes.

• Enable Quick View — immediately improves shop page UX with zero configuration
• Enable Sticky Add to Cart — works on all product pages, no settings needed
• Enable Free Shipping Progress Bar — set your free shipping threshold in the General tab
• Enable Trust Badges — select a badge group and choose where to display
• Enable Sales Notifications — configure the notification style and frequency
• Enable Stock Scarcity Messages — set the low-stock threshold (default: 5 units)

Quick View

Opens a modal overlay showing a product's image gallery, title, price, short description, variation selects, and an AJAX-powered Add to Cart button — all without leaving the shop or category page.

How it works

Boostly injects a Quick View button on each product card in the shop loop via the woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item hook. Clicking the button fires an AJAX request to load the product template into a modal. Add to cart uses WooCommerce's standard AJAX handler — cart fragments update without a page reload.

Settings

Direct Checkout

Adds a Buy Now button alongside the standard Add to Cart button. Clicking it adds the product to the cart and immediately redirects to checkout — skipping the cart page entirely.

How it works

The button submits a form to a custom AJAX handler that calls WC()->cart->add_to_cart(), then redirects via wp_safe_redirect() to wc_get_checkout_url(). For variable products, the customer must first select options before the Buy Now button activates.

Settings

Sticky Add to Cart

A floating bar that appears at the bottom (or top) of the viewport after the customer scrolls past the native Add to Cart button. Contains product thumbnail, title, price, and an Add to Cart button.

Settings

Free Shipping Progress Bar

Displays a progress bar showing how much more the customer needs to spend to unlock free shipping. Updates in real time via cart fragment refresh.

Settings

Sales Notifications

Shows small popup notifications of recent purchases ("Someone in London just bought Wireless Earbuds"). Creates social proof and real-time urgency without disrupting the browsing experience.

Settings

Stock Scarcity Messages

Shows contextual urgency messages on product pages and the shop loop when stock falls below a threshold you define. Works with WooCommerce's native stock management.

Settings

Recently Viewed Products

Tracks the products a visitor views in a browser cookie and displays them in a configurable product carousel. Helps shoppers return to items they considered earlier in their session.

How it works

Product IDs are stored in a JavaScript cookie (boostly_recently_viewed) limited to the number you configure. The carousel is rendered via a shortcode or automatic injection into product and shop pages.

Shortcode

[boostly_recently_viewed limit="4" columns="4" title="Recently Viewed"]

Settings

Trust Badges

Displays a group of payment and security badges below the Add to Cart button or in any widget area. Boosts checkout confidence, especially for first-time visitors.

Settings

All Settings

Each module stores its settings in a dedicated WordPress option. All options use the prefix boostly_.

Hooks & Filters

Boostly exposes filters and actions so developers can customise behaviour without editing plugin files.

Filters

Actions

Example: change the Buy Now redirect URL

/**
 * Send Buy Now customers to a custom thank-you page
 * instead of the default WooCommerce checkout.
 */
add_filter( 'boostly_direct_checkout_redirect_url', function( $url, $product_id ) {
    return home_url( '/checkout/' );
}, 10, 2 );

Example: add a custom module via filter

add_filter( 'boostly_module_registry', function( $registry ) {
    $registry['my_custom_module'] = [
        'label'       => __( 'My Custom Module', 'my-plugin' ),
        'description' => __( 'Does something great.', 'my-plugin' ),
        'icon'        => 'ti-sparkles',
        'color'       => 'violet',
        'is_pro'      => false,
        'class'       => 'My_Custom_Module_Class',
        'file'        => 'path/to/class-my-custom-module.php',
    ];
    return $registry;
} );
