Hello there,
Welcome back to WooWeekly, your weekly appointment with WooCommerce tutorials handpicked for you (and the other 19,431 subscribers!), so that you can learn something new.
The holidays are just around the corner, and looking back, this year has been a great one. I’m optimistic about making 2025 even better! I have a long list of WooCommerce course and webinar ideas, plus several new plugins on my to-do list—so let’s see how it all unfolds.
Next week (or the one after—I haven’t decided yet), I’ll share my year-in-review post. I hope it inspires you or at least gives you a few tips to kick off the new year. One thing’s for sure—I’m already excited for January!
Of course, I plan to take some well-deserved time off, but knowing myself, that might also mean a little me time spent coding and brainstorming if I get bored… Oh, and a quick note: the next newsletters will go out on December 26 (not the 25th) and January 2 (not the 1st). Happy holidays!
Anyhow… here’s your weekly round-up of WooCommerce tips and tricks. Enjoy.

WooCommerce vs. Shopify, According to Redditors
When it comes to starting your online store, you might wonder: should you go with WooCommerce or Shopify? Loads of articles discuss this, but it’s tough to find a solid, real users’ experience-based comparison. We decided to dive into the discussions on Reddit. [Convesio]

WooCommerce: How to Split Orders After Purchase
Splitting WooCommerce orders programmatically can be incredibly useful for store owners who need to manage complex workflows. Whether you’re dealing with pre-orders, dropshipping, or simply organizing items for multiple shipments, dividing an order based on its products ensures smoother operations and a better customer experience.

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]
