Hello there,
Welcome back to WooWeekly, your weekly appointment with WooCommerce tutorials, tips and updates handpicked for you so that you can learn something new.
Yesterday we celebrated our first wedding anniversary but we were too exhausted to enjoy that fully. The only one who had a great time was my 18mo-old son, LOL. Hopefully we’ll get some time off this coming weekend.
Anyhow, let’s get back to Woo. Enjoy!

1. Brand New WooCommerce Content
WooCommerce: Rename “Place Order” Based on Chosen Payment Gateway
We’ve already seen how to rename the “Place Order” button on the WooCommerce Checkout page, but today I want to find a way to rename it dynamically and conditionally i.e. based on the payment gateway that is selected while checking out. ~ Rodolfo Melogli, Business Bloomer

2. David’s WooCommerce Highlights
Here are a few notes written by David of PeachPay, WooWeekly co-author:
The Future of Payments
If you’re interested in the future of payments, at least as far as the WooCommerce ecosystem is concerned, then tune in to the most recent episode of Do the Woo, featuring Inpsyde’s Robert Windisch and yours truly. Bob Dunn called it a lively discussion, and both Robert and I certainly had a lot to say amid the giddy atmosphere that pervaded WCEU. In short, what began with WooCommerce Payments seems to be continuing apace with GoDaddy’s hosted SaaS offering, complete with a payment solution powered by Poynt. These developments beg the question: are more hosts going to roll out their own payment gateways/processors so as to cash in on basis points for every transaction? And, if so, what can they do to differentiate their offering in order to achieve more market share? Is it possible that one host will use another host’s payment solution? Lastly, what will WooCommerce, the company, make of all this?
The Fastest WooCommerce Store That I Have Encountered
The fastest store using WooCommerce that I have yet encountered is a premium wrestling gear brand called RUDIS. I had not heard of it until recently, and it turns out, perhaps unsurprisingly, that they are using a headless set-up instead of solely relying on WooCommerce. It’s a combination of Netlify, Gatsby, and WooCommerce for the checkout page… and it’s blazing fast. Props to the guys at Zeek for putting this masterpiece together. If you’re interested in hearing how they pulled it off, then you can read the full case study here.
It’s Not Just About 1-Click Checkout
As one of the co-founders of PeachPay, I have had to explain what we do again and again to clients, investors, and partners alike. What started out as a 1-click checkout offering is fast becoming a comprehensive checkout and payment solution for WooCommerce stores. In a tweet that got some attention in the WooCommerce space, I lay out everything that we have shipped in 2022 so far. Much more to come during the second half of this year!

WooCommerce: Switch Shop Columns Responsively
What if I wanted to show 5 columns of products on large desktops, 4 columns on desktops, 3 on tablets and 2 on smaller devices? Well, this “dynamic” behavior is – this time around – managed by CSS. Let’s see how it’s done! ~ Rodolfo Melogli, Business Bloomer
