Hello there,
Welcome back to WooWeekly, your weekly appointment with WooCommerce tutorials handpicked for you (and the other 19,355 subscribers!), so that you can learn something new.
Well, well, well. Parenthood comes with its fair share of challenges, but the rewards, though fewer, far outweigh the difficulties! This time we’re facing a mouth infection and the little one is not happy about it… But hopefully by next week, this will all be behind us, and he can return to school. Fingers crossed for me too, as I haven’t had a proper night’s sleep in two weeks!
On the other hand, business has been good these past couple of weeks (maybe I should give up sleep entirely?). The Business Bloomer Club relaunch went well, and many new members fell in love with the community; we also got lots of new sponsors, such as Kinsta, A2Hosting, Sweetcode and Nexcess. I’m just scratching the surface—there’s much more coming soon!
Also, I’m speaking at WooSesh on October 30 with the topic “Lifetime Only: A Customer-First Approach to WooCommerce Plugins” – you’re all invited! You can register for free to this 2-day virtual conference here. Plus, don’t forget to cast your vote for me or other WooCommerce developers here: https://woosesh.com/seshies/vote
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: Enable Product Reviews for Logged Out Verified Customers
If you want to allow verified buyers who are not logged in to share their feedback, without forcing them to log in first, the settings alone are not enough. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to customize WooCommerce to allow logged-out verified customers to leave product reviews. [Business Bloomer]
What Performance Optimization Can Do For Your WordPress Site
Nowhere is website performance more critical than during high-traffic events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. These shopping holidays can drive an unprecedented surge in visitors to your site, putting immense strain on your website’s infrastructure. [Convesio]
How to Apply Category Discounts in WooCommerce for Maximum Impact
Category discounts in WooCommerce are a powerful tool for increasing sales and attracting customers. Whether you’re looking to clear out seasonal inventory or increase sales in specific product groups, well-implemented category discounts can make a significant difference to your bottom line.

ICYMI: WooCommerce Snippets
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: 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]
