Hello there,
Welcome back to WooWeekly! Every week, I curate tips and tutorials to help you sharpen your WooCommerce skills.
Finally, after two weeks of rain and a ton of commitments, I got back on the tennis court yesterday—and it was amazing. Tennis is still my favorite way to completely switch off from work, and I’m hoping to do more. Friday morning here I come (weather permitting!).
Business-wise, the past few days have been intense—not because of Black Friday (which, by the way, is still on for newsletter sponsorships, Business Bloomer Club, and Checkout Summit team tickets)—but because I handed over a huge 87-page marketing document to a developer who’s entering the WooCommerce space. It was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun.
Inspired by that, I decided to turn some of those learnings and case studies into a free session for you on Dec 9: WooCommerce Plugin Marketing 101: Your First 1,000 Users. Live streaming is free, but the recording is premium—so don’t wait. It’s perfect for developers who are brilliant at code but still figuring out plugin promotion.
Anyhow, here’s your weekly round-up of WooCommerce tips and tricks. Enjoy!

WooCommerce Tips, Snippets & Tutorials
Here is a collection of posts to answer your biggest WooCommerce questions. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced store owner, these resources will help you optimize your WooCommerce store and grow your online business.
WooCommerce: Simple Price Including/Excluding Tax Switcher
| I’ve had more than one conversation with clients and peers about taxes—B2B customers usually want to see prices without tax, while consumers prefer the full price including tax. Every time, I realized how confusing it can be when your WooCommerce store only shows one view, and shoppers have to guess which number is the “real” price. That’s why I came up with this WooCommerce tweak! A simple frontend switch lets customers toggle between prices including or excluding tax. It’s not flashy, but it solves a surprisingly common frustration—and it keeps things clean and lightweight without adding bulky plugins. If you’ve ever had a customer unsure what they’re paying, this tutorial is worth checking out. Read Business Bloomer article on Tax Switcher |
How to Get Started With Ecommerce Customer Service in 2025
| I’ve been thinking a lot about customer service lately—not as a concept, but as something I regularly mess up. A few weeks ago, a plugin customer asked about a small feature. I said “sure, I can add that”… and then never found the time. By the time I circled back, they’d already given up. One tiny promise undone, one customer lost. It was a good reminder that online trust is fragile. You don’t need to fail spectacularly—sometimes a late reply or an optimistic “yes” is enough. So when I read this blog post about ecommerce customer service, it hit close to home. Clear expectations, availability, reducing friction… nothing fancy, just the basics we tend to forget when we’re too busy. If you’ve ever let someone down because you overcommitted (guilty), you’ll probably appreciate this guide. Read IconicWP article on Customer Service |
