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 to help you sharpen your WooCommerce skills.
The weather’s been all over the place lately – extremely hot, yet the sea has been rough, which is unusual for this time of year. We haven’t really enjoyed the beach as much as we hoped. On top of that, I’ve been dealing with a stubborn back issue for the past week… let’s see how it holds up after soccer tonight!
Work-wise, I’ve been taking fewer days but trying to stay highly productive. On Monday, I tried fasting for the first time ever – not the best idea, considering it was a heavy workday, boiling hot, and I only had water. Let’s just say the evening didn’t go well, and I’m not planning a repeat!
Aside from client work, I’ve also started scouting venues for Checkout Summit 2026 – I visited the first two last week. Budget will be tight, as nice venues are pricey, so I’m really counting on sponsorships to help make it happen.
I’ve also recorded a couple of new videos and hope to keep that rhythm going.
And hey, I’m sleeping well – which means I’m working well. Now if only schools started at 10am in winter…
Anyhow, here’s your weekly round-up of WooCommerce tips and tricks. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: How to Stop Spam Orders on Free Products
I’ve been hit once again by a bot attack. Besides clogging up my order list and analytics, these spam orders also triggered multiple admin emails and slowed down my workflow. That’s why I decided to implement a simple solution: limit how many times each free product can be ordered per day. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce 10.0 Release is Delayed
We ran into an issue in 10.0.0 where fatal errors were triggered by additional strict_types checking during callback functions on hooks that might be used outside of WooCommerce core. Initially scheduled for Monday, July 7, 2025, we’ve are postponing the release of WooCommerce 10.0 to the tentative date of Monday, July 14, 2025. [Woo Dev Blog]

ICYMI: WooCommerce Snippets
WooCommerce Shareable Checkout URLs Explained
What if you could skip the product page, the cart page, and get shoppers straight to checkout with the exact products and quantities already added? That’s exactly what the new Shareable Checkout URLs feature in WooCommerce core (10.0.0) now makes possible. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: How to Configure Product and Order Sync
In this article, I’d like to talk about syncing products and orders between different standalone WooCommerce stores. More specifically, I am going to cover: What WordPress/WooCommerce hooks do we need to trigger the sync? How to create the WooCommerce REST API requests? How to do it without coding at all, just using a plugin? [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: “Beautify” Item Meta in Order Emails
Since the latest WooCommerce releases, the transactional emails have received a fresh update. This new email layout offers a cleaner and more modern look, improving the overall customer experience. However, one side effect is that the order item meta information in emails can sometimes appear cluttered or less readable. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Per-Product Checkout Fees / Tariffs
If your WooCommerce store sells products that require extra charges — think tariffs, recycling fees, or packaging costs — you may want to apply those fees only to specific products or variations. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Auto-Cancel Orders After 3 Failed Payments
WooCommerce doesn’t limit how many times a customer (or bot) can attempt to pay for a failed order via the “Order Pay” page. This opens the door to abuse, unnecessary clutter in the order table, and frustration for both store owners and customers. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Bulk Delete Pending / Failed Scheduled Actions
In a recent project, I needed a quick way to bulk delete pending and failed Action Scheduler jobs directly from the WordPress dashboard—so I built a custom tool for it. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Redirect Empty Paginated Category Pages (404)
When managing a WooCommerce store, it’s common to rearrange products or remove them from certain categories. However, this can lead to an unexpected issue: paginated product category URLs (e.g. /product-category/shirts/page/3/) may still be accessible even when that specific page no longer contains any products. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Complete Button @ Order Admin
Typically, to mark an order as “Completed,” you’d have to open the order, change the status from the dropdown, and then click “Update”. That’s an extra step that can feel repetitive if you’re doing it often. In this quick developer tutorial, I’ll show you how to add a “Complete Order” button directly to the single order edit page in the WooCommerce admin. [Business Bloomer]
WooCommerce: Allow Guest Checkout For Existing Customers
If you disable Guest Checkout via the settings, all customers are required to either log into an existing account or register a new one during checkout. The problem? Returning customers who aren’t logged in will be forced to remember their credentials or manually reset their password, just to place another order. [Business Bloomer]
