Hello there,
Welcome back to WooWeekly! I’m glad you’re here for another round of WooCommerce insights. Every week, I curate tips and tutorials for you (and the other 19,494 subscribers!) to help you sharpen your WooCommerce skills.
Don’t know about you, but February flew by! I’ve been keeping up with tennis and hitting the gym more, and I can definitely feel the difference—more energy, better focus, and fewer aches…
On the business side, plugin sales were quieter than I’d hoped, which is a bit disappointing. That said, custom coding projects, Business Bloomer Club improvements, and content creation kept me busy.
Speaking of which, yesterday’s masterclass recording (Live Migrating a WooCommerce Site to HPOS) is now available, plus I’m gearing up to release a new online course in March all about WooCommerce CLI (here’s the draft course page).
Anyhow, here’s your weekly round-up of WooCommerce tips and tricks. Enjoy!

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: Search Orders By 2-Letter Country Code [HPOS]
WooCommerce’s order search function is essential for store admins, but with the introduction of High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS), searching by billing or shipping country code may no longer work as expected. If you’re used to quickly filtering orders by country, this limitation can be frustrating. Fortunately, there’s a simple way to bring back this functionality using a custom code snippet.

ICYMI: WooCommerce Snippets
WooCommerce: Programmatically Mark Products As Featured
For store owners managing hundreds of products, setting featured items manually is inefficient. A dynamic approach can save admin time by automatically marking products as featured based on specific conditions, such as category, price, or custom logic. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Sticky Product “Update” Button @ WP Admin
In the WooCommerce product edit / add new product screen, the “Publish” / “Update” button is crucial for saving changes. However, when editing long product descriptions, adding images, or configuring variations, the button can disappear as you scroll down. A simple solution is to make the button sticky, ensuring it remains visible no matter how far you scroll. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Filter Products By Sale Status @ WP Dashboard
Sorting through hundreds or even thousands of products to find those with active sale prices can be a tedious task using the default WordPress admin interface. In this post, I’ll show you how to enhance your WooCommerce admin panel with a simple PHP snippet that adds a custom filter for sale status. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Allow Only Simple Products
WooCommerce stores that exclusively sell simple products can benefit from a cleaner backend by removing unused product types like variable, grouped, and external products. Simplifying the product editor and backend product listings not only declutters the interface but also reduces the chances of store managers making mistakes when adding or managing products. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Duplicate Order @ WordPress Dashboard
In WooCommerce, the ability to quickly duplicate orders can save time when managing repeat purchases or creating similar orders. However, this feature isn’t available by default. While plugins exist to add it, they can be complex or overengineered for simple use cases. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Remove “Payments” From WordPress Sidebar Admin Menu
The “Payments” tab in the WordPress admin sidebar menu was introduced in newer versions of WooCommerce. So, if you’ve always wanted to get rid of it, here’s a quick snippet that will do the trick! [Business Bloomer]
