Hello there,
Welcome back to WooWeekly, your weekly appointment with WooCommerce tutorials handpicked for you (and the other 19,462 subscribers!), so that you can learn something new.
Thankfully, Black Friday week (or month?) is almost over, and we can finally get back to normal work. On a brighter note, my dad is doing better, and my kid is recovering well from yet another flu. Aside from the lack of sleep, I’m feeling great!
Before diving into today’s Woo tips and tricks, I’m excited to share news about a special contest that it’s been running for a few days. To show my appreciation for your support and gather valuable feedback, you can submit a Business Bloomer / WooWeekly review by December 8th (please be honest, genuine, and provide real feedback) – each review gives you one entry into the contest. On December 9th, 5 minutes before the “Buying a WooCommerce Store: All You Need to Know” free masterclass, I’ll go live and use a name-picker software to randomly select the winner of my WooCommerce 31-Plugin Lifetime Bundle worth $225.30! Want in? Leave a review for WooWeekly, a mini plugin, the Business Bloomer Club, WooCommerce development, WooWeekly sponsorship or BB Club sponsorship in case you subscribed to any of them!
Anyhow… here’s your weekly round-up of WooCommerce tips and tricks. Enjoy.

WooCommerce Tips, Snippets & Tutorials
Here is a collection of posts 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: Display Only Products On Sale @ Shop
In my own WooCommerce shop, for Black Friday, I wanted to send customers directly to the Shop page showcasing only items on sale. To my surprise, WooCommerce doesn’t provide a built-in way to sort products by “on sale” out of the box. Now, with a simple code snippet, you can enable a “Sort by On Sale” feature, or even use the “orderby=on_sale” parameter with your Shop page URL to show sale items effortlessly!
How to Implement WooCommerce Buy X, Get Y Free Promotions
Running seasonal promotions in your WooCommerce store but struggling to clear inventory? “Buy X, Get Y Free” offers can help you move products while attracting new customers. WooCommerce doesn’t include this feature by default, but the WooCommerce Discounts plugin makes it simple to create valuable promotions. [Studio Wombat]

ICYMI: WooCommerce Snippets
WooCommerce: Edit “x customer reviews” String @ Single Product Page
While WooCommerce provides a default review display, you may want to customize it to fit your specific needs. This tutorial will guide you through the process of editing the “x customer reviews” text on a single product page. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: “Last Chance” Category with Expiring Sale Products
When managing a WooCommerce store, your sales strategy can be a powerful way to engage customers and drive urgency. One cool trick is featuring products with sale prices about to expire (“sale price end date“) in a custom product category. We’ve already seen how to populate a “Sale” category, but this time I’d like to get only the sale products with a sale end date! [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: View Customer Order History on Single Order Admin Page
Viewing the WooCommerce customer’s order history directly on the single order admin page can be incredibly useful when you need quick access to a customer’s past purchases without navigating away from the current order screen. [Business Bloomer]
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]
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]
