2. David’s WooCommerce Highlights
Here are a few notes written by David of PeachPay, WooWeekly co-author:
WooCommerce & Affirm Get Cozier
WooCommerce & Affirm have decided to “expand their partnership,” although it’s unclear what exactly that means at this juncture. You can already enable Affirm straight from the WooCommerce.com plugin marketplace as well as the WooCommerce payment set-up page in the WordPress dashboard itself (talk about valuable real estate!). Perhaps just a belated announcement to ongoing developments? Or maybe the first steps toward a truly deeper partnership: Affirm getting folded into WooCommerce Payments? If so, which other payment methods would follow suit?
The Future of WooCommerce Scaling?
The future of WooCommerce scaling may lie in custom product & order tables. Although half-hearted attempts at custom product tables have already been made as of a few years now, the announcement that custom order tables would be folded into WooCommerce core by Q3 of this year came as an exciting development. Basically, custom order tables would help WooCommerce stores get around a fundamental flaw of WordPress: lack of support for bulk query insertion. This flaw becomes most apparent during the high-traffic moments WooCommerce stores experience during flash sales which generate too many post meta queries concurrently. By offloading these post meta queries to a custom order table and slowing the influx of orders into WooCommerce to a trickle, we may just have a nifty way to support WooCommerce scaling in the future, right out of the box.

WooCommerce: How to Split Variable Products Into Simple Products
In this article, we’ll see different ways through which you can split your variable products to show them as a single variation product on your WooCommerce store. But first, let’s see how this process can help your store’s bottom line.
WooCommerce: Let Customers Complete a Processing Order
What if we wanted our customers to complete (confirm) their processing order? Well, this is quite easy: we display a “CONFIRM ORDER” button under My Account > Orders, and on click some code triggers the status change.
WooCommerce: Retain Field Values @ Checkout Reload
This annoying WooCommerce flaw is about to go away with a few lines of code. Either reload the Checkout page or go back to it later – your info will still be there.

In today’s snippet, we’ll see once and for all how to replace the top right variable product price with the one of the current variation, while also hiding the variation price.
