So you don’t need advanced knowledge of web development to create pricing tables of your own. If you decide to go with the manual approach, you’ll have full control over your table’s design. However, there are some downsides to coding a table manually:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- You need to create a mobile-friendly design<\/a> from the ground up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Coding and testing your table can take a while.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You have to worry about cross-browser compatibility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
To be fair, an experienced developer will be used to dealing with these considerations. However, if you’re new to HTML and CSS, you might want to consider using a plugin instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Pros & Cons of Installing a Plugin for Pricing Tables<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As you might imagine, there are a lot of plugins you can use to create stunning WordPress pricing tables. The primary upside to using a pricing table plugin is that most of them provide you with templates you can use to kickstart your designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a plugin, all you\u2019ll generally have to do is fill out some fields, and tweak your table’s design using predetermined settings. However, just as with the manual approach, using a plugin comes with its own set of downsides:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Often, if you uninstall your pricing table plugin, the elements you created will cease to work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You can only configure whatever settings are included in the plugin, so you don’t have full freedom over your table’s style.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
It’s worth noting that plugins also make it easier to build multiple pricing tables and store them on your site. You can also use shortcodes to add the same table to as many pages and\/or posts as you\u2019d like, which can come in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WordPress Pricing Table Plugins & Templates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To help you decide if using a plugin is the best choice for your site, let’s look at some of the top options available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plugin 1: Pricing Table by Supsystic<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
![\"pricing](\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/pricing-table-1.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nPricing Table by Supsystic<\/a> is one of our favorite options, because it’s all about ease of use. With this plugin, you can choose from multiple pricing table templates to get started quickly, or use a drag-and-drop builder to put together your own layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whichever approach you choose, the plugin enables you to configure every aspect of your table’s design. Plus, you can add in animations, icons, and videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plugin 2: Easy Pricing Tables<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
![\"easy](\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/pricing-table-2.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Easy Pricing Tables<\/a> plugin works very similarly to our previous pick. Its free version doesn’t include table templates, but it does feature a builder that enables you to create your own table in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you like, the plugin also enables you to use custom CSS to tweak any aspect of your table’s design. That makes this option perfect you have some web development knowledge, but you still want to speed the process up using a plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plugin 3: Storefront Pricing Tables<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
![\"storefront](\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/pricing-table-4.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nStorefront<\/a> is a WooCommerce-centric theme created by the eCommerce plugin\u2019s developers. It\u2019s packed with functionality designed for online stores, but if you need more options, there are also plenty of extensions for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of those extensions is called Storefront Pricing Tables<\/a>. It enables you to generate and customize tables on the fly, and add them to any of your pages. If you\u2019re already using Storefront or creating a new eCommerce site, this is a tool worth checking out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Create a Pricing Table in WordPress With Plugins (In 3 Steps)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Before we wrap things up, let’s see just how easy it is to create a WordPress pricing table. For this tutorial, we’ll use the Easy Pricing Tables plugin, so install and activate it<\/a> if you want to follow along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Create a New Pricing Table<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Once the plugin is activated, head to the Pricing Tables<\/em> > Add New<\/em> tab in your dashboard. There, you can set a name for your pricing table and save it. Then, you\u2019ll see two columns you can begin to populate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"wordpress](\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/pricing-table-5.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nTo add more columns, you can click on the New Column<\/em> button to the right. For now, go ahead and fill out the provided fields with your information, leaving any blank that you don\u2019t need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Configure Your Pricing Table’s Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Once your pricing table is filled, you can move on to its Design<\/em> tab. There, you can tweak your table’s border radius and adjust the height of its columns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"pricing](\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/pricing-table-6.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThere’s also a section where you can tweak your table’s font sizes. In addition, you can use the Save & Preview<\/em> button at the bottom of the screen to see how changes in size affect your table’s look:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"configure](\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/pricing-table-7.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you open the next tab, you’ll see that the plugin also enables you to change the colors of your table’s buttons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"horizontal](\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/pricing-table-8.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhen you’re done, remember to save your design. Then you can hit the Deploy (Get Shortcode)<\/em> button at the bottom of the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Place Your Table<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Once you select Deploy (Get Shortcode)<\/em>, you’ll be provided with a unique shortcode:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"pricing](\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/pricing-table-9.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nCopy this code, and open up the Block Editor for the page where you\u2019d like to place your pricing table. You can then add a simple Code<\/em> block, and paste in your table’s shortcode:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"wordpress](\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/pricing-table-10.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis particular plugin also includes its own custom block, called Pricing Tables<\/em>. If you choose that instead, you’ll see a drop-down menu including all of your saved tables:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"setup](\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/pricing-table-11.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nEither way, when you’re done, you’ll be able to preview your pricing table within the editor and make changes to it if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ease Customers\u2019 Purchasing Decisions With a Pricing Table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you’re encouraging visitors to buy a service from your website, you\u2019ll have to provide them with all the data they need to make an informed decision. By using a pricing table, you can enable visitors to compare all your offerings at a glance, and determine which is the best option for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
