Hello there,
Welcome back to WooWeekly, your weekly appointment with WooCommerce tutorials handpicked for you (and the other 19,347 subscribers!), so that you can learn something new.
So, while we’re here fighting against the first flu of the school year, today is launch day – the Business Bloomer Club version 2.0 is now live! To celebrate, there are still some seats available for today’s WooCommerce Ask Me Anything session; we will cover customization, development, marketing, WP drama, freelancing, lifestyle, and more – hope you can join and have fun!
So, why 2.0? Well, I’ve merged everything into a single, lifetime, membership: WooCommerce support, WooCommerce online courses, WooCommerce masterclasses, member directory and member-only WooCommerce resources – also including all future content. Think of Netflix for WooCommerce, without the annoying subscription. Plus, Purchasing Power Parity discounts can give you up to 75% off based on your billing country.
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: Automatically Apply Coupon Via URL
Recently, I decided to hide the “Apply coupon” form on the cart and checkout page. However, offering discounts is still a crucial strategy to encourage purchases and reward loyal customers. For example, the Business Bloomer Club lifetime membership is subject to Purchasing Power Parity discounts, and customers can get from 5% to 75% off based on their billing country – via a coupon. The best compromise here is to apply coupons when customers visit specific URLs. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: How to Cross-Sell on Other Stores to Expand Your Reach
In simple terms, this means making your products available for sale on complementary ecommerce stores. By partnering with stores that align with your brand or leveraging your own network of stores, you can introduce your products to new customer bases, boosting your visibility and sales.

How to Bulk Optimize WooCommerce Product Descriptions with ChatGPT and Google Sheets (Video)
Optimizing product titles and descriptions for better SEO and conversions can be time-consuming, especially for large inventories. This guide introduces a powerful tool that integrates ChatGPT with Google Sheets, allowing WooCommerce users to bulk optimize their product listings quickly and efficiently. [Convesio]

ICYMI: WooCommerce Snippets
WooCommerce: Rename My Account Endpoint Page Title
But first… what’s a WooCommerce My Account endpoint page title? An endpoint refers to a specific tab of the “My Account” page. Each endpoint is associated with a H1 page title. Pay attention – this is not about the tab label, but it’s the page title when a tab is clicked. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Hide My Account “Downloads” Tab If User Has No Downloads
In WooCommerce, the “Downloads” tab of the My Account page is automatically visible to all users, even if they haven’t purchased any downloadable products. This can lead to a less-than-optimal user experience, as the tab might seem irrelevant or confusing to customers who don’t have any available downloads. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Remove “Create shipping label” Ad @ Single Order Admin Page
Let’s get rid of the “Print discounted shipping labels with a click” banner that displays at the top (!) of the single order admin page when certain conditions are met. [Business Bloomer]
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]
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]
