Simply Buy is a WordPress Plugin Directory app by Nebi.
AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Simply Buy is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by Nebi — established developer track record
Cons
- −No public reviews yet — fit and reliability are unverified

How Simply Buy works
Show full descriptionShow less
SimplyBuy is a lightweight WordPress plugin that lets you create simple online shop-style requests or price calculations — completely without WooCommerce, without a shopping cart, and without payment processing.
Originally developed as a bulky-waste calculator for clearance companies, SimplyBuy works for any service provider who needs a simple eCommerce-like solution without the complexity of a traditional WordPress online shop plugin.
Because SimplyBuy avoids unnecessary features found in typical WordPress shop plugins, it is:
Easy to set up
Lean in code
Ready to use immediately
Does not store customer data
Does not require shipping rules
Free of inventory management
SimplyBuy can be used as a WordPress plugin shop-free alternative for services — perfect for anyone needing shop-style functionality without WooCommerce and without a shopping cart.
Who is SimplyBuy made for? SimplyBuy is for doers.
It is ideal for clearance companies, moving companies, agencies, and service providers who want fast customer inquiries — not a full WordPress shopping plugin.
Ideal for:
Service providers needing simple online requests
Local businesses looking for a WordPress shop plugin free alternative
Companies needing a WordPress product plugin without a shopping cart
Users who want a simple eCommerce plugin for WordPress
Anyone wanting a mini “shop” experience without payment and without WooCommerce
Although designed for clearance services, SimplyBuy is flexible and can be used in many industries.

Display simple service “products” or price options
Perfect for websites offering quotes, requests, or simple services
100% compatible with any theme

What SimplyBuy is NOT
Not a full eCommerce system
Not a shopping cart plugin
Not for selling products with stock
Not for tickets, events, or limited inventory
Not a traditional WordPress shop setup
Not a WooCommerce replacement for online payments
SimplyBuy is a request-first tool, not a payment or checkout plugin.
Multilingual support SimplyBuy works on multilingual WordPress sites with the following caveats:
Polylang (recommended): Fully supported. Product search and selection respect the current page language. The plugin’s automatic page creation (Cart, Checkout, Thank You) creates one page per active Polylang language and links them as translations.
WPML: Not officially supported yet. Single-language sites work fine. On multilingual WPML setups, the product search may return results from all languages.
Weglot: Not applicable — Weglot translates the page output, not the database. SimplyBuy’s product database remains in the source language; Weglot then translates the displayed text on the fly.
No multilingual plugin: Works as a single-language site. All products in the database are shown, regardless of the WordPress site language. The “language” of the products is whatever the site owner typed when creating them.
The plugin’s user interface ships with English (default) and German translations. Other site languages will fall back to English for the plugin’s own labels (product titles and descriptions are not affected — they come from the database as-is).
