Introducing EasyStore Free

Roll out the cake — it's JoomShaper's birthday month, and the gifts are all yours!

We've got gifts lined up for our community, and trust us, you'll want to stick around for every single one. First up is EasyStore Free and yes, it's exactly what it sounds like.

With the free version you get the real features needed to launch a working Joomla online store, without any upfront cost or trial timer running in the background. 

It's the same EasyStore you already know and trust, now with zero reason not to start!

Why EasyStore Free

EasyStore Free is made for anyone who wants to go from idea to live Joomla store without hitting a wall anywhere along the way.

And because this free version is built on the same foundation as our Pro plan, everything you build here carries forward when you are ready to take the next step. So once you are ready to unlock more advanced features, the upgrade to Pro is a seamless step forward, not a platform switch or a fresh new start.

What's Included in the Free Plan

So now let's open the box! Here is a full look at the EasyStore free plan features and what they make possible for your store.

Products Configuration

Products are where every store begins. Your store starts with your products, so we made sure this piece is solid.

• Create Unlimited Products: Add all your products, complete with images and videos per product, without ever hitting a wall.
• Variations: Set up to 2 variation types per product, like size, color, or material, with unlimited values within each.
• Shipping Packages: Assign specific shipping packages to individual products, ensuring every item reaches your customers exactly the way it should.
• Bulk Edit: Update stock levels, apply discounts per variation, and track quantities across your products, all from one place.
• Brand: Assign a brand to your product to help shoppers filter and find what they're looking for faster.
• Track Quantity: Keep track of your product's stock and automatically update inventory as orders come in.
• Base Price & Unit Price: Set a base price and per-unit cost to give you tighter control over product pricing.
• Import/Export: Import products in bulk or export your catalog whenever you need to back up or migrate your data.

Rounding it all out, each product includes fields for categories, tags, meta data, SKU and ISBN and more covering everything you need to keep it organized and search-friendly.

Payment & Checkout

A great store experience means nothing if the checkout lets it down.

That is why checkout and payments were never an afterthought in EasyStore Free. We made sure the checkout stays seamless, which leads to a reliable payment experience, and turns a browsing customer into a paying one.

Guest Checkout
We have made sure your customers can complete a purchase without having to create an account. Less friction at checkout means more completed orders for your store.

Checkout Configuration
Even on the free plan, you have full control over your checkout flow. Choose which customer information fields to include, set them as required or optional, and tailor the experience to suit your store.

Cash on Delivery
We know digital payments are not universal, which is why Cash on Delivery is included in EasyStore Free. Your customers can pay on their own terms, and you do not miss out on a sale.

Manual Payments
Bank transfers and other offline payment methods are fully supported, so no matter how your customers prefer to pay, you have them covered.

Access to PayPal Payment Gateway
When it comes to payment gateways, PayPal needs no introduction. It is one of the most widely used and trusted payment solutions in the world, and EasyStore Free gives you access to it right out of the box.

Orders & Shipping

Products listed, checkout sorted, payments in place. The only thing left is getting your orders to your customers. Shipping is where a lot of free stores stumble, but EasyStore Free makes sure it is one less thing to worry about, with a straightforward shipping setup that covers everything you need to get your deliveries moving.

• Flat Rate Shipping: Set a single shipping rate that applies to all orders in your store.
• Free Shipping: Let customers enjoy free shipping on every order.

And we haven’t forgotten about your Order management. 

Keeping track of your orders by viewing, updating, and managing everything from a single order management panel. You can also create manual orders, so that any order that comes in outside of your storefront can be added directly, so nothing slips through the cracks.

It's streamlined on purpose so you won't find yourself buried under settings you don't need yet.

Customer Management & Analytics

Customer management is, of course, a fundamental part of running a successful online store. EasyStore Free makes sure it is handled well from the very beginning.

Manual customer creation lets you add new customers directly into the system. Existing customer management keeps all buyer information organised and easy to access. And basic customer insights give you a clearer picture of who your customers are and how they engage with your store.

EasyStore's built-in Analytics gives you a clear view of how your store is performing. Track sales, revenue, and order trends from your dashboard so you always know what's working and where to improve.

Coupons & Reviews

Attracting customers is one thing. Giving them a reason to buy and come back is another. EasyStore Free includes two key features that help you do exactly that.

• Coupons: You can set up Discount coupons with all the essential settings you need to create and manage promotions for your store.
• Reviews: Every product in your store can collect as much feedback as it earns, helping you build trust with every new visitor. 

Easily Get Your Products on Display

With your store set up, the next step is getting your products in front of visitors. All it takes is creating a menu item — nothing different from how you'd normally do it. Just set the menu item type to Products and pick the category you want to display.
