Hello there,
Welcome back to WooWeekly, your weekly appointment with WooCommerce tutorials handpicked for you (and the other 19,431 subscribers!), so that you can learn something new.
Not feeling my best today, but WooWeekly marches on! After navigating the last five weeks with the kid – from COVID to a mouth infection, belly ache, dentist, and eye doctor visits – it seems my body took a breather a little too soon, and now I’ve caught the flu. Last night’s sleep was pretty minimal, so apologies in advance if I mix up the newsletter title or throw in some unexpected tidbits… But I’ll do my best to keep things on track!
Business wise, it’s the first time of the year where I had no scheduled client work. Which means, I’ve now refactored the settings of my most popular mini plugin (WooCommerce Toggle Payments By Category), and now will address the other 30 extensions for some cleaning up. I’ve also got 2 new plugins ready to go – this is a nice time of the year for releasing new products!
Finally, next week I’m hosting a free class: “1-Hour WooCommerce Challenge: Let’s Recreate the Nike Product Page” – we’ve already got 37 attendees signed up, so make sure to reserve your spot before we fill up! See you then 🙂
Anyhow… here’s your weekly round-up of WooCommerce tips and tricks. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: View Customer Order History on Single Order Admin Page
Viewing the WooCommerce customer’s order history directly on the single order admin page can be incredibly useful when you need quick access to a customer’s past purchases without navigating away from the current order screen. [Business Bloomer]
20 Ways to Prepare Your Site for Black Friday / Cyber Monday

What is a SKU Number and Why Should You Use Them?
Keeping track of your inventory and sales is one of the key things to succeeding, especially when you’re running a product-based business. When you understand what an SKU is and how to create one effectively, you’ll be well prepared to do this. [Iconic]

ICYMI: WooCommerce Snippets
WooCommerce: Display Featured Products First @ Shop, Cat, Tag, Search Pages
What’s the point of having the chance to “star” some products in your WooCommerce backend, if you can’t really use these featured products properly on the frontend? Yes, you can use a shortcode or a block to return the featured products only… or maybe you want to keep reading for a better (imho) solution! [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Apply Coupon @ Single Product Page
In WooCommerce, applying a coupon code is often part of the checkout flow, but wouldn’t it be convenient for customers to select a coupon directly on the product page before adding items to their cart? [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Enable Product Reviews for Logged Out Verified Customers
If you want to allow verified buyers who are not logged in to share their feedback, without forcing them to log in first, the settings alone are not enough. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to customize WooCommerce to allow logged-out verified customers to leave product reviews. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Automatically Apply Coupon Via URL
Recently, I decided to hide the “Apply coupon” form on the cart and checkout page. However, offering discounts is still a crucial strategy to encourage purchases and reward loyal customers. For example, the Business Bloomer Club lifetime membership is subject to Purchasing Power Parity discounts, and customers can get from 5% to 75% off based on their billing country – via a coupon. The best compromise here is to apply coupons when customers visit specific URLs. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Rename My Account Endpoint Page Title
But first… what’s a WooCommerce My Account endpoint page title? An endpoint refers to a specific tab of the “My Account” page. Each endpoint is associated with a H1 page title. Pay attention – this is not about the tab label, but it’s the page title when a tab is clicked. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Hide My Account “Downloads” Tab If User Has No Downloads
In WooCommerce, the “Downloads” tab of the My Account page is automatically visible to all users, even if they haven’t purchased any downloadable products. This can lead to a less-than-optimal user experience, as the tab might seem irrelevant or confusing to customers who don’t have any available downloads. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Remove “Create shipping label” Ad @ Single Order Admin Page
Let’s get rid of the “Print discounted shipping labels with a click” banner that displays at the top (!) of the single order admin page when certain conditions are met. [Business Bloomer]
