Hello there,
Welcome back to WooWeekly, your weekly appointment with WooCommerce tutorials, tips and updates handpicked for you (and the other 18,204 subscribers) so that you can learn something new.
It’s a sad day for my family and me. The bad news arrived yesterday, after many days of good ones. I guess it’s always like that – a person tends to go whenever they’re ready to do so. It’s difficult to write these words, but at the same time life and business must go on even when it’s difficult, and especially when there is a little kid that requires our full attention. So, dear Francesco, RIP, and see you there at some stage (I still got work to do, such as raising a good kid!).
Anyhow, here are this week’s WooCommerce tips – enjoy.

1. WooCommerce Tips & Snippets
WooCommerce: Apply Discount to Cheapest Cart Item
By Rodolfo Melogli, Business Bloomer
If you run WooCommerce store promotions, this little snippet will help you with that. For example, how to run a “Buy 2 products, get one half off” or a “Buy 3 products, get the cheapest one for free” campaign? See snippet
WooCommerce: Set Customer Default Tax Location
By Rodolfo Melogli, Business Bloomer
So, today, we will be setting the default tax location when “Customer billing address” has been chosen AND the customer is either logged out (so, no billing address is set) or logged in but have no saved address (for example, a brand new customer). See snippet

WooCommerce: “New Order” Email Recipient Based on Billing Country
By Rodolfo Melogli, Business Bloomer
The amazing thing about WooCommerce is that you can override any setting with a few lines of code. In today’s example we will try to code a solution where the “New Order” WooCommerce email will be delivered to a custom recipient based on the billing country. Read more
WooCommerce: Count Variation Sales (Shortcode)
By Rodolfo Melogli, Business Bloomer
This will require we either query the orders that contain such variation ID, and then calculate the sum – or that we install a snippet on day 0 so that we can count variation sales from that moment onwards, without having to query and calculate anything. We will study the latter, and then display the result via a shortcode, so that you can use it anywhere, even inside the variation description. Read more
WooCommerce: Display Long Description Instead Of Short One @ Single Product Page
By Rodolfo Melogli, Business Bloomer
Now, what if you don’t use the “Short description” in your WooCommerce store, and you wish to display the “Long description” on the right hand side of the featured image instead? Well, here’s a simple snippet for you. Read more
WooCommerce: Hide SubCategory Products On Product Category Pages
By Rodolfo Melogli, Business Bloomer
You’d think that this was a core WooCommerce setting – it’s not. In fact, from the WordPress “Customizer“, you can set the product category page display to “Show products” only, “Show subcategories” only, or “Show subcategories and products” (see screenshot below). But these 3 options, in my opinion, could and should do much better. Read more
WooCommerce: Limit Daily Sales For Cheap Products (Anti-Spam)
Today, I’d like to share another anti-spam snippet that I’m currently testing on Business Bloomer. Most carding attacks, in fact, end up with the purchase of a single product in the $1-$9 range – which means that limiting the daily sales for specific, inexpensive, products may do the trick. Read more ~ Rodolfo Melogli, Business Bloomer
WooCommerce: Delete Customer After a Failed (Spam) Order
In today’s “episode” I will try to clean the WordPress User database table after a failed order, because I’m really angry when “17PmU3MmKZS9ZAy7 17PmU3MmKZS9ZAy7” manages to register an account on Business Bloomer after a carding attack! Read more ~ Rodolfo Melogli, Business Bloomer
WooCommerce: Checkout Anti-Spam Honeypot
Here’s my second attempt to fight against WooCommerce spam, without installing a captcha plugin. A few posts ago I covered the My Account user registration spam, so today I want to tackle the WooCommerce Checkout, and try to “trick” spam bots. ~ Rodolfo Melogli, Business Bloomer
