It’s a weird Wednesday here in Sicily – the coronavirus-phobia arrived here as well and schools are closed until next week (yet, public and private offices are still open). I feel Italy has, once again, shown its weaknesses – we’re one of the best countries in regard to medicine studies and prevention, yet the government and the news are only capable of scaring people. Let’s hope it gets better because, in fairness, it can’t get worse than this.
Anyway, welcome back to our WooCommerce Weekly appointment – here comes a series of WooCommerce tutorials put together by yours truly so that you can learn something new.
New WooCommerce Tutorials
WooCommerce: Rename a Breadcrumb Item
WooCommerce generates shop, category, tag, single product breadcrumbs out of the box. Such breadcrumbs should follow your WooCommerce permalink settings. For example, I use the “Shop base with category” option under WordPress > Permalinks. In my case, by default, a product belonging to category “Uncategorized” has an URL = “https://example.com/shop/uncategorized/product-name/” and its single product page breadcrumbs follow that same rule: “Home / Shop / Uncategorized / Product Name”.
Now, what if I want to rename one of the items? What if I want to replace one of the breadcrumb items with something else? Well, WooCommerce gives us a cool filter called “woocommerce_get_breadcrumb” that we can use to edit the breadcrumb content before displaying it. In this post, we will see how to add a suffix to product categories and also how to replace the product name with the SKU value.

WooCommerce Wishlist: Top 5 Plugins (Screenshots + Features)
1% is a relatively average ecommerce sales conversion rate. In other words, every 100 website visitors, 99 are not going to purchase anything from your shop – and maybe never will. Increasing that conversion rate is everyone’s dream. Well, adding a wishlist functionality to WooCommerce is what I consider a vital CRO test. The good news is that there are great, free, reliable WooCommerce Wishlist plugins available (as well as premium of course).

WooCommerce: How to Sell Product Customizations & Add-Ons
Product customization has been revolutionizing ecommerce in the last 5 years. And WooCommerce store owners, if possible, should look into offering additional product options, add-ons, personalizations, custom text and whatever can make a mass product unique to each single customer. With a product add-ons plugin, you can sell additional options and personalizations on top of the existing product attributes. Good news is there are free and premium plugins that can help you implement product options, customization and add-ons… and eventually increase your profit. https://businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-how-to-sell-product-customizations-add-ons/
WooCommerce: Order a “Free Sample” @ Single Product Page
Recently I was on a coaching call with a client and the “Free Sample” challenge came up. Client has 400+ products on the website and had no intention of adding a free variation to each product manually. So, I promised to myself I was going to study a different approach: https://businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-order-free-sample-single-product-page/
