WC Try Before You Buy is a WordPress Plugin Directory app by Damir Tahiri.
AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
WC Try Before You 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 Damir Tahiri — established developer track record
Cons
- −No public reviews yet — fit and reliability are unverified

How WC Try Before You Buy works
Show full descriptionShow less
This is an initial, MVP version of WooCommerce extension which will give you functionalities needed to simulate ‘try before you buy’ type of online store on your WordPress/WooCommerce installation.
It will allow you, as admin, to fill your customer’s cart with products you’ll send them by mail, and allow them to choose whether they will keep or return the product, and to leave you feedback about return reason.
This plugin DOES NOT cover other functionalities common for ‘try before you buy’ online stores that can already be achieved with other existing plugins, such as surveys or cart item exchange option.
How ‘Try Before You Buy’ online stores works: People tells you few words about them, you (or your stylists) choose products that will fit them best, you send them those products, and they choose if they will keep them or not.
For more info, google out ‘Try Before You Buy online stores’.
This plugin will:
* Hide a shop page for all users (prevent users from adding products to the cart by themselves)
* Hide all WooCommerce pages for unregistered users
* Allow you, as admin, to fill customers carts with items you’ll send them via mail
* Allow your customers to choose between ‘keep’ and ‘return’ product, which will automatically correct the price in their cart
* Allow your customers to tell you what was the ‘return reason’ (it will be displayed in admin orders pages)
