Hello there,
Welcome back to WooWeekly, your weekly appointment with WooCommerce tutorials handpicked for you (and the other 19,417 subscribers!), so that you can learn something new.
Yesterday I ran one of the most successful masterclasses ever – about 120 people registered for “Live Coding a WooCommerce Mini-Plugin“, and the recording is now available here to all Business Bloomer Club members! If you can, please do watch it, as the edited video is even leaner and in 40 minutes you can see how I come up with plugin ideas, how I turn code snippets into plugins, and how I play with plugin settings. If you don’t want to commit to the full PPP-friendly membership, you can always buy a DAY PASS for $29, and enjoy all the Club benefits for 24 hours, including this recording!
On the personal side, we’re doing better here, but now it’s my dad who requires my full attention. I’m flying again to Rome in a few days on my own, hoping my visit can help a little. We also booked a full week there for the holidays with the whole family, so we’re gonna have a great time in early January!
Anyhow… here’s your weekly round-up of WooCommerce tips and tricks. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Display Featured Products First @ Shop, Cat, Tag, Search Pages
What’s the point of having the chance to “star” some products in your WooCommerce backend, if you can’t really use these featured products properly on the frontend? Yes, you can use a shortcode or a block to return the featured products only… or maybe you want to keep reading for a better (imho) solution! [Business Bloomer]

ICYMI: WooCommerce Snippets
WooCommerce: Apply Coupon @ Single Product Page
In WooCommerce, applying a coupon code is often part of the checkout flow, but wouldn’t it be convenient for customers to select a coupon directly on the product page before adding items to their cart? [Business Bloomer]
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]
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]
