WooCommerce: How to Split Orders After Purchase

Shopify Plus Pricing: Why You’re Better Off With WooCommerce Instead

We break down Shopify Plus’ pricing and make a strong case that WooCommerce is a better option for most e-commerce brands. We compared Shopify Plus pricing with WooCommerce running Stripe and found that the former is more expensive for merchants generating sales between $50,000 and $250,000 a month. [Convesio]

ICYMI: WooCommerce Snippets

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! [Business Bloomer]

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]
