Hello there,
Welcome back to WooWeekly, your weekly appointment with WooCommerce tutorials handpicked for you (and the other 19,340 subscribers!), so that you can learn something new.
Well, I’m still alive, and that’s good news! My kid made it through the first days of school, he loves his new bedroom and doesn’t wake up at night – and this means I can concentrate on my dad and his surgery taking place tomorrow. I’m probably flying to Rome this weekend to look after my mom and spend some time with her, as we can only go to the hospital for 2 hrs/day. We’ll see!
On the WooCommerce end, we’re working hard at the Business Bloomer Club relaunch, happening mid October. Also, I’ve scheduled 2 new WooCommerce masterclasses, and I’d love you to sign up before I post them on Twitter and the 100 seats are taken – first one is next week (Mastering WooCommerce Thank You Page Customization: A Plugin-Free Approach)!
Anyhow… here’s your weekly round-up of WooCommerce tips and tricks. Enjoy!

WooCommerce Tips
Here is a collection of tips, snippets, customization tutorials, plugin reviews and ideas to answer your biggest WooCommerce questions. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced store owner, these resources will help you optimize your WooCommerce store and grow your online business.
WooCommerce: Prevent Orders From Blacklisted Email Addresses
In some cases, you may need to block certain customers from completing orders on your WooCommerce store. By adding these 8 lines of PHP to your theme’s functions.php file, you’ll be able to prevent orders from specific email addresses efficiently. [Business Bloomer]
How to Build High-Converting WooCommerce Product Pages
Creating a product page that converts involves more than just adding an image and a price. It’s all about knowing your customer, anticipating their wants, and providing a seamless shopping experience that motivates them to take the next step. [Convesio]
How to Design WooCommerce invoices
Creating invoices is a very important element of managing a business, even though it is often considered a hassle. In this article, we will explore why customizing invoices is important and how you can easily do it by just using a WooCommerce plugin. [YITH]

ICYMI: WooCommerce Snippets
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. This will not only add excitement to your product page but also encourage customers to make a purchase before the sale ends. [Business Bloomer]
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]
