Friendly Functions for Welcart

68 Quality Score

Active Installs

14/30

With only 1,000 active installs and no rating volume, the plugin sits in a narrow niche where adoption is modest at best.

Update Freshness

25/25

A perfect maintenance score reflects a recent update on 2026-04-04, current WordPress 6.9.4 compatibility, and a clean update cadence.

User Rating

7/15

A score of 44 out of 100 from just 3 ratings leaves no statistically meaningful signal, so user satisfaction is essentially unverified.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened means there is no track record to evaluate, and it is unclear how responsive the developer is to issues.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Full marks here come from tested compatibility with WordPress 6.9.4, a low PHP 7.2 requirement, and a WordPress 5.0 minimum.

What It Does

Friendly Functions for Welcart is an add-on plugin that extends the Welcart e-commerce platform with a handful of utility features to improve day-to-day store management. In practice it provides small enhancements and convenience functions that complement Welcart's native capabilities. The plugin is narrowly scoped and does not aim to be a full-featured WooCommerce replacement.

Who It's For

This plugin is built for site owners already running a Welcart store who want a few extra utilities without switching platforms. It fits Japanese e-commerce shops and small product-based businesses looking to extend their existing Welcart setup. If you are not using Welcart, there is no reason to install it.

Who Should Skip It

If you are running WooCommerce, Shopify, or any other e-commerce platform, this plugin offers nothing for you and should be avoided. It is also not appropriate for store owners who need broad feature coverage, as its scope is intentionally limited to a small set of helper functions.

The Bottom Line

Friendly Functions for Welcart earns an overall quality score of 67.59 out of 100, reflecting strong maintenance and compatibility but weak popularity and an almost complete absence of user feedback. It is a reasonable pick only for existing Welcart users who want a few small conveniences and trust the developer based on their update history. Everyone else should look at the broader alternatives listed above.

Choose this if you run a WooCommerce store and need to drag-and-drop sort product display order across categories.

Welcart e-Commerce 79/100

Choose this if you are starting fresh and need the full Welcart platform itself, not an add-on for it.

Filter Orders by Product for WooCommerce 78/100

Choose this if your main pain point is locating orders by product in a WooCommerce admin and you need order management tools.

Ultimate Product Catalog 78/100

Choose this if you want a standalone product catalogue plugin with rich display options rather than a Welcart extension.

Hide Categories and Products for Woocommerce 77/100

Choose this if you need fine-grained control over which WooCommerce products or categories are visible to customers.
