Customization XenForo Shops

[InMyOpinion]

Does anyone know of any good XenForo shop plugins? I looked for a bit online but couldn't find anything though I'm pretty sure there must be a plugin somewhere.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate all the help and feedback.

Unfortunately, there isn’t a free plugin available for a shop for xenforo.

Most/all addons for Xenforo are paid plugins since the software is for users with a paid license. There are plenty of open source forum softwares with addons that may suit your needs. SMF would be a good choice, if you're looking for a free solution.

I think I’d recommend MyBB at this point in time but I’m not as familiar with its ecosystem so I’m not sure what stores exist for it (though, I’m sure at least one does)

Do you need a shop where you can actually sell things?

Personally, I've found WooCommerce with WordPress to be a good, reliable source for this. I've sold quite a bit on it and never had any issues.

I have a couple of customers who run stores on it as their primary income. I think this really depends on your scale - when you're at 16GB VPS territory and you have 55GB of product images, with 112k post items (and multiple millions of postmeta), this is a little more terrifying to work with!

At one point between WC and their plugin stack, the one customer was producing 7000 queries per page, every page, and average page load times were 30 to 60 seconds. I was asked to fix it ahead of Black Friday 2022, turns out 2022 was the first year the site stayed up on Black Friday...

You absolutely can do wonderful things with WC but the more you try to do, the more fragile the house of cards becomes.

If you get the images on a CDN, does that tend to help?

Not hugely because the real pain is the fact that they’re part of WP’s media library.
