Why Order Summary Column is free, and the other plugins are not

Not every plugin should be a hard sell. This one just needed to exist, so we gave it away and made it the front door to everything else.

Most of the Wexofy catalogue is paid, on purpose: an annual licence pays for the updates and support behind it. Order Summary Column is the one exception, and it is free forever, on unlimited sites, with no catch.

The problem it solves is too small to charge for

Packing an order from the default WooCommerce orders screen means opening every single order to see what is actually in it. That is not a feature gap worth a licence fee. It is a missing column. Order Summary Column adds it: products, quantities, SKUs, optional thumbnails and a totals line, right in the row. Large orders collapse to “…and 4 more items” so the list stays readable, and a product filter above the table finds every order containing a given product in one indexed query.

Free was the honest price

We use this plugin on our own store every day, on every order, all day. Asking for money for something that small would have meant either overpricing it or building in artificial limits to justify a price tag, both worse than just giving it away. So it is not free as a trial or a lead magnet with a paywall two clicks in: full plugin, forever, unlimited sites.

How you actually get it

There is no direct zip download for a free Wexofy plugin. You get it through the free Wexofy Hub companion plugin. Install the Hub, open it, and it mints you a free, unlimited, never-expiring licence automatically: no account, no checkout, no email required. From there Order Summary Column installs and updates itself in wp-admin like any other plugin.

It is also the front door

Once the Hub is on your store, it is the same screen where a paid licence key unlocks the rest of the catalogue (shipment tracking, invoices, checkout, pickup and the others), each with an Install / Activate / Update button. You do not need to buy anything to get value from the Hub; you need it to get the free plugin, and everything paid is simply already sitting there if you ever want it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Order Summary Column really free, with no upgrade nag?
Yes. Unlimited sites, no time limit, no feature paywall. The Hub screen shows paid plugins alongside it, but nothing in Order Summary Column itself prompts an upgrade.

Do I need an account to activate it?
No. The Hub mints the free licence automatically on install; there is no signup form or email capture involved.
