What CartFlows does
Builds custom sales funnels with optimised checkout pages, bumps and one-click upsells.
It sits in the funnels part of a WordPress stack and is sold by Brainstorm Force on a freemium basis. We recommend it in our funnels guides because it does that one job well without asking you to rebuild the rest of the site around it.
Every plugin adds work to a page request, so treat this as a decision with a cost. Record a speed test before you install it and run the same test afterwards, on the same page, so you know exactly what it charged you.

Where CartFlows ranks elsewhere
CartFlows does not appear in the published "best of" lists we track from WPBeginner, TechRadar, Kinsta, Themeisle and similar sites. That is not a mark against it - those roundups are short and skew towards the biggest names.
What changed in the latest version
- New: Added compatibility for the Frequently Bought Together feature of CartFlows Pro to suggest companion products on the product page.
- Fix: Fixed Apple Pay and Google Pay express payments skipping the upsell step on Store Checkout.

- Improvement: Bundle products now show their product type and correct price range in the funnel product selector and step product rows.

- Fix: Fixed the pre-checkout offer product being cleared on save, and the offer title and description going stale after changing the product.

- Improvement: Improved the Funnels page load speed on stores with a large number of funnels.
- Fix: Fixed funnel and step titles converting dashes into HTML entities in the editor and saving the corrupted title on reload.
