WooWeekly #504: Customer ID | Product Video | Checkout Design

Hello there,

Welcome back to WooWeekly, your weekly appointment with WooCommerce tutorials handpicked for you (and the other 19,305 subscribers!), so that you can learn something new.

All pretty good down here, except work – I couldn’t get much done this week so far, but I hope to catch up on Thursday and Friday. I’m about to give my kid his first ever bike tonight, so we’ll see how that goes… looks very exciting to me alright!

Anyhow… here’s your weekly round-up of WooCommerce tips and tricks. Enjoy!

WooCommerce Tips

WooCommerce: Get Customer ID From An Email Address

Often, you might need to find a specific customer’s information, but all you have is their email address. For example, on Business Bloomer, I have custom contact forms that give me a name and an email address upon submit. What if I need to check if the email address is an existing WooCommerce customer who has placed some orders? [Business Bloomer]

How to Add a Product Video to Your WooCommerce Gallery

By default, WooCommerce doesn’t allow you to add a product video to your product video gallery. Instead, if you want to upload your own product video or embed one from YouTube or Vimeo, you’ll need a plugin. [Iconic]

10 Best eCommerce Checkout Page Designs to Learn From

One sign that you might have a badly designed checkout page is your metrics reporting that shoppers are reaching the checkout only to leave without making a purchase. While there are many reasons why someone might abandon their cart at the checkout page, poor design is definitely one of them. [Commercegurus]

How to Boost Sales with Interactive Checkbox Options in WooCommerce

By replacing default dropdowns with checkboxes, store owners can reduce customer confusion, improve decision-making, and enhance satisfaction. This results in higher sales and lower bounce rates, making checkbox variations a valuable tool for any WooCommerce store. [Studio Wombat]

ICYMI: WooCommerce Snippets

WooCommerce: Notify Admin For Product Reviews But Not For WordPress Comments

The problem is that if your site gets a lot of spam comments, you might be bombarded with emails. Even with legitimate comments, constant notifications can be overwhelming. So what if we disable WordPress comment notifications all together, while we keep them enabled for WooCommerce product reviews only? [Business Bloomer]

WooCommerce Visual Hook Guide: Cart Page (Block Version)

I’ve put together a visual hook guide for the WooCommerce Cart Block. Please note – as of the date above, you can’t really customize the Cart Block via PHP – if you need to personalize the Cart page, move elements around, hide default elements, add custom content, you can play on the Edit Page and do the usual manual work with blocks. But if you wish to do that via code (custom plugin, snippet, child theme), then you must revert to the shortcode version – unless you get to understand my workaround provided within this visual hook guide. [Business Bloomer]

WooCommerce: Set Product Upsells Programmatically

Upsells are a powerful tool, but manually entering them via the Edit Product page can be tedious. This tutorial dives into the world of programmatic WooCommerce product upsells, empowering you to leverage code for a dynamic and data-driven upsell strategy. [Business Bloomer]

WooCommerce: Remove Second Item When Item Removed From Cart

This approach might be relevant for specific promotional offers (e.g. BOGO) or custom coded product bundles. In this case, you may want to remove a second item from the cart – programmatically – once a product is removed. [Business Bloomer]

WooCommerce: Deposit Payment @ Order Pay Page

What if we want the customer to pay a deposit / first installment / partial payment on the Order Pay page (say the order total is $999, and you want them to pay $111 only)? Well, we could use a URL parameter – if that’s present and the value is lower than the order total, we can “filter” the order total and let the customer pay whatever amount. [Business Bloomer]

WooCommerce: Add Content To “New Account” Welcome Email

First impressions matter, especially in ecommerce. When a customer creates an account on your WooCommerce store, the “Your {site_title} account has been created!” welcome email is your golden opportunity to solidify a positive connection. However, the standard WooCommerce email might fall short… [Business Bloomer]

WooCommerce: Simple Add To Cart Click Counter

By implementing an Add to Cart click counter, you gain a crucial piece of the puzzle, allowing you to calculate your conversion rate more accurately. You already have the number of product sales available, so with this additional piece of data you can assess how effective your product pages are. [Business Bloomer]
