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.
Back to normal today after we shared the State of the Woo 2022 last week. Life’s good thankfully. Europe is under the biggest heatwave ever. Yesterday I filled up a board with soooo many business things to do this summer – so the question is: to work or not to work?
Anyhow, back to Woo now. Enjoy 🙂

1. Brand New WooCommerce Tips

2. David’s WooCommerce Highlights
Here are a few notes written by David of PeachPay, WooWeekly co-author.
Forbes’ Take on WooCommerce & Magento
Late last week, Forbes Advisor took on the topic of WooCommerce vs. Magento. It concludes that WooCommerce stands apart in its “simplicity and availability,” but that Magento is the better ecommerce engine for larger businesses. Until our community folds custom order tables into WooCommerce core and we have more case studies of high-volume stores, I cannot dispute this conclusion.
WooCommerce 6.7 Released
Earlier last week, WooCommerce 6.7 was released. The biggest changes are product reviews, which now have a dedicated location within WooCommerce (accessible via the admin menu at Product > Reviews and visible under WooCommerce > Home), and WooCommerce Blocks updating to version 7.8.3 (see 7.7.0 & 7.8.0 release notes for details). The beta cycle has been increased by one week to make the Release Candidate more stable, but the final release date remains the second Tuesday of each month.
Variation Swatches are In
Variation swatches are always a good idea if you have the bandwidth for another plugin. When I say that swatches are “in”, I mean that there have been two new notable additions to this plugin category: Variation Swatches for WooCommerce by CartFlows and YaySwatches from YayCommerce (which has a pro version). Both highly reliable plugin developers, so let’s see how far these two products go.
3. ICYMI: WooCommerce Articles
WooCommerce: Change Payment Gateway Order Status
What if you use custom order statuses, or what if you wish to change Stripe orders to “completed”, BACS orders to “pending” and PayPal orders to “on-hold”? Thankfully, this is super easy with a handy PHP snippet. ~ Rodolfo Melogli, Business Bloomer
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
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
WooCommerce: The Need For Custom Order Tables
In this article, we introduce you to the WooCommerce custom order tables – what is it, the new tables added to the structure, and how they can benefit your WooCommerce store. Let’s begin! ~ David Mainayar, Business Bloomer
