Hello there,
Welcome back to WooWeekly, your weekly appointment with WooCommerce tutorials handpicked for you (and the other 19,330 subscribers!), so that you can learn something new.
It’s the last Wednesday of my 2.5 months beach house stay, and we’re getting ready to move back to Palermo on Monday. Lots of things to organize and pack, as usual, but thankfully we’re only 45 minutes away! However, it’s still pretty warm here in Sicily (35C/95F) and I will probably regret the move within 15 minutes of me stepping back into the apartment…
Business wise, I’m about to get back to “full time” work. In June, July and August I worked approx 56hrs/month (14hrs/wk), against the first 5 months of 2024 where I averaged 99hrs/mo (25hrs/wk)… it’s been nice and quiet during the summer but now it’s time to step up and get back to planning and getting stuff done. Hopefully you’ll hear more starting next week!
Anyhow… here’s your weekly round-up of WooCommerce tips and tricks. Enjoy!

WooCommerce Tips
WooCommerce: Sale End Date Countdown Timer
In this blog post, we’ll guide you through a simple PHP/JS customization that replaces the static “Sale!” badge on the WooCommerce Single Product page with a captivating countdown timer.

How to Set Up Smart Discount Rules in WooCommerce
WooCommerce offers very limited built-in functionality for discount sales. For example, you can’t schedule bulk discounts, only individual ones. Moreover, you can’t assign the same discount to multiple products in bulk. Instead, this is a time-consuming manual process where you edit the sale price of each product. [Studio Wombat]

ICYMI: WooCommerce Snippets
WooCommerce: Fit All Settings In One Page
In the world of WooCommerce, customization is crucial for creating a unique online store. However, juggling numerous WooCommerce settings across multiple pages can be tedious. Imagine a solution that simplifies this process by consolidating all your WooCommerce options into a single, easy-to-use interface. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Custom “Empty Cart” Button
Yes, you can manually change the product quantities to 0 on the cart page, or click on the “remove item” icon for each product… but having a button that can do all that could be a time saver, especially for B2B WooCommerce customers. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Add Checkout Fee Based On Shipping Class
Whether you’re dealing with bulky items, fragile goods, or specific shipping items, you can leverage WooCommerce flexibility and dynamically add checkout fees based on whether a given shipping class is in the cart. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Hide Free Products [Code Snippet]
Are free products cluttering your WooCommerce store? Or are they so many, that you have no intention of manually setting them to “catalog visibility: hidden” one by one and need a proper shortcut? Discover how to strategically hide $0 products from the shop / category / archive pages using WooCommerce custom code – enjoy! [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Edit Custom Field @ Order Admin
Adding a custom field to your WooCommerce checkout is a breeze. But while you can easily view the custom field data in the backend, editing it directly from the order admin is a frustratingly locked feature. Luckily, a bit of custom code can fix this, giving you the flexibility and control you need to manage your orders effectively. [Business Bloomer]
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]
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.
