Two plugins.
One vendor.
Built in Sydney.
Asteris Commerce builds Asteris for WooCommerce (a 20-module suite for WC stores) and Asteris for WordPress (an 11-module suite for any WP site). Both plugins replace stacks of separately-purchased competitors. Both are built by a small team, in active development, with launch-locked Founder pricing.
No VC. No marketing team. No growth hacker — by design. A small team owning every line of code, every support reply, every roadmap call.
20 modules. One plugin. For every WC store.
SEO, AI Suite, PDF Invoices, Variation Swatches, Wishlist, Side Cart, Coupons, Trust Badges, and 12 more — all in one plugin. Disabled modules load zero PHP, zero JS, zero CSS. Replaces ~$1,650/yr of separate competitor plugins.
- 20 modules at v1.0
- From $149/yr launch-locked
- Free version on WordPress.org (6 modules)
- HPOS-verified · Block Cart compatible · 6-theme tested
11 modules. One plugin. For any WP site.

- 11 modules planned for v1.0
- Founder Year One pricing (locked first-year rate)
- Free tier planned for WordPress.org
- WCAG-compliant · 5-AI-panel-shaped · honest about beta status
Why two plugins, one company
Most WordPress sites don't run WooCommerce. Most WooCommerce stores have plugin needs that go beyond what a generic WP plugin covers. The two products are built to the same standards but with sharply different scope: Asteris for WordPress covers what any WP site needs (security, SEO, backups, email); Asteris for WooCommerce covers what a WC store specifically needs (product page, conversion, checkout, fulfilment). Some modules genuinely overlap (SEO + AI, Analytics, Links, AI library) — those are built once and vendored into both plugins, so the same code ships in both. Most modules don't overlap, which is why they're separate plugins instead of one mega-plugin nobody asked for.
One company means one vendor relationship, one support inbox, one philosophy. Two plugins means each one stays focused on its actual buyer.
