So, welcome back to our WooCommerce Weekly appointment – here comes a series of WooCommerce articles put together by yours truly so that you can learn something new – you’ll also find a list of previous articles in case you missed any.

WooCommerce: Disable Out of Stock Variations @ Variable Product Dropdown
A nice way to avoid user frustration is to never let them pick a product / variation that is out of stock, only to realize later they can’t purchase it. A variable product comes with a “select dropdown” on the single product page, from which customers can pick their favorite variation. Problem is that ONLY after selecting this they will find out about price, stock status and may be able to add to cart. Today, we’ll completely disable (grey-out) those select dropdown options (variations) that are out of stock, so that users don’t waste time and only pick one of those that are in stock.

Boost Your WooCommerce Sales With Advanced Analytics
Product recommendations is an efficient and proven way to boost your WooCommerce sales. The downside is that it could be a very time-consuming activity to bundle products manually, as well as the fact that it is not always the logical “pairing” that will generate the most sales. The way forward is to utilize AI (Artificial Intelligence) and let analytical data models do the work for you. Meet Engage, an AI-powered product recommendation engine. The type of recommendation vary a bit depending on the page your visitor is viewing. This is mainly because the recommendation model needs input to function properly (e.g. the first time a new visitor lands on your homepage, the model doesn’t know anything about their behavior and therefore it can’t provide recommendations. But as the user interacts with the website the model picks up on behavioral patterns and is then able to provide better recommendations: https://businessbloomer.com/boost-your-woocommerce-sales-with-advanced-analytics/
