Feature Request: Optional Installation of WooCommerce Extensions on Entrepreneur Plans & WooCommerce.com Plans

[ash1eygrace]

Summary:

The current Entrepreneur plan on WordPress.com includes WooCommerce with several pre-installed extensions such as Product Add-Ons, Product Bundles, and others. These extensions are managed by the hosting plan and are automatically included for all users by default.

What:

Implement an option on the Entrepreneur plan where users can select the specific WooCommerce extensions they wish to install. This modular approach will allow users to customize their setup according to their specific needs, potentially improving site performance and user satisfaction.

Why

• While these extensions add significant value, not all users require these plugins or want them.
• Unwanted symlinked extensions lead to requests for support to remove the symlink and delete them, which can be time-consuming for both users and HEs.
• Best practices recommend installing only the necessary plugins to optimize site performance and user experience.
• Even if users disable these plugins when they navigate to My Site> Plugins there are a bunch of disabled plugins in their list adding unnecessary clutter.
• Instead of downgrading to Creator we could just let users remove the plugins easily.

How

Implement a new section that shows a user what extensions come with their hosting plan and gives them the option to pick and choose which extensions they want to install on their site. Additionally, give users the option to remove the symlink easily and delete the plugin if they choose not to use it.
