A few weeks ago I introduced the first group of 3 microsponsors supporting Checkout Summit and helping push the first edition over the finish line.
Microsponsorships are designed to give businesses a simple way to support the event and show they care about the WooCommerce community—without the commitment of a traditional sponsorship package. A small contribution, but a meaningful one.
Since that announcement, seven additional companies joined the initiative. Each of them decided to contribute and be part of making this conference happen. Their support helps cover real event costs and proves that the community is willing to rally around new ideas.
So, it’s time to give visibility to the next seven companies supporting Checkout Summit and helping make the first edition possible. And who knows, a few more might still join before we kick off.
Kestrel
Kestrel provides plugins and infrastructure aimed at helping WooCommerce stores run faster, scale better, and deliver a smoother experience to customers. Performance, reliability, and technical stability are critical elements for any ecommerce business, especially when traffic and order volume increase.
For WooCommerce professionals and agencies, having the right technical foundation can make the difference between a store that struggles under load and one that performs consistently even during peak sales periods.
Supporting community initiatives like Checkout Summit helps keep conversations around ecommerce performance, infrastructure, and scalability active within the WooCommerce ecosystem.
Aelia
Aelia develops a range of WooCommerce plugins focused on international ecommerce. Their tools help stores handle complex scenarios such as multi-currency pricing, location-based tax calculations, and global customer management.
Running a WooCommerce store across multiple countries quickly introduces challenges that go beyond standard store setups. Currency conversion, regional pricing strategies, and tax compliance are all critical pieces of the puzzle.
Aelia’s support for Checkout Summit highlights how global ecommerce continues to expand within the WooCommerce ecosystem—and how important it is to share knowledge around these advanced topics.
WCB Product Configurator
WCB Product Configurator helps WooCommerce stores sell customizable and configurable products directly on their websites. Instead of offering fixed product variations, merchants can let customers build exactly what they want through interactive configuration options.
This type of functionality is particularly useful for stores selling personalized products, complex items, or products with multiple selectable components. A well-designed configurator can dramatically improve both user experience and conversion rates.
Tools like this show how flexible WooCommerce can become when extended with the right plugins, making WCB Product Configurator a great addition to the group of Checkout Summit microsponsors.
SweetCode
SweetCode develops specialized WooCommerce plugins designed to solve practical ecommerce challenges. Their products often focus on improving store management, enhancing customer experience, and adding functionality that merchants need as their stores grow.
Plugins like Pixel Manager Pro help fill the gaps between core WooCommerce features and the unique needs of different online businesses. By building focused tools that address specific problems, companies like SweetCode help store owners run more efficient operations.
Supporting Checkout Summit aligns with that same philosophy: contributing to a space where developers, store owners, and agencies can exchange ideas and learn from each other.
Osom Studio
Osom Studio is a WooCommerce development agency known for building high-performance ecommerce experiences for brands that need more than a standard online store. Their work often focuses on complex WooCommerce builds, custom functionality, and scalable solutions for growing businesses.
Agencies like Osom Studio play a key role in the WooCommerce ecosystem, helping merchants turn ideas into fully functional ecommerce platforms while navigating technical and strategic challenges.
Their contribution to Checkout Summit reflects the importance of agencies in pushing WooCommerce forward and sharing real-world experience with the wider community.
Mailster
Mailster is a long-standing email marketing plugin for WordPress that allows businesses to manage newsletters and campaigns directly from their own website. Instead of relying entirely on third-party platforms, site owners can build and manage subscriber lists while keeping full control over their data.
For WooCommerce stores, email remains one of the most effective channels for customer engagement—whether it’s newsletters, promotions, or follow-ups after a purchase.
Mailster’s support for Checkout Summit highlights how closely ecommerce success is tied not only to the checkout itself, but also to the broader relationship businesses build with their customers before and after the purchase.
WPFunnels
WPFunnels focuses on helping businesses create high-converting sales funnels directly inside WordPress and WooCommerce. Instead of relying on external funnel platforms, the plugin allows store owners to design optimized checkout flows, upsells, downsells, and landing pages while keeping everything inside their own site.
For WooCommerce users, this means more control over the purchasing journey—from the first click to the final order confirmation. Tools like one-click upsells and optimized checkout paths can significantly increase average order value and improve conversions.
Projects like Checkout Summit exist to explore exactly these kinds of improvements in the checkout experience, which makes WPFunnels a natural fit among the event’s microsponsors.
